Rick Morris is dope! His house is dope. His Billy Idol-esque style is dope. His work is dope. His furniture is dope. His reel is dope. He is dope.
Rick’s reel is seriously impressive. His work spans so many feels and vibes of motion graphics. Always moving, his designs are exciting, bold and sleek. There is a sense of humor in his work, sometimes more obvious and sometimes very subtle. Unfortunately, many clips of his reel is from CMT — eek! Not a fan. Haha.
It’s funny to see Lynda on screen. She conducts a really insightful interview with Rick that talks about his transition from being just an illustrator to being both an illustrator and being a motion graphic artist. Hearing him talking about getting into the business and his embracing of a field he had never been quite sure if he would go into really helps when thinking about myself and my peers going into fields that we may not feel comfortable in. Hearing him speak about ‘trial by fire’ learning is really interesting as we mostly think that people such as him are born with that talent and never have to learn it.
