About us.
I'm Ricko, a cartoonist based in Australia.
PopThatCard.com is a side project that I built with my family, and I've decided to give it a refresh.
About Ricko
Ricko has been a member of the Australian Cartoonist Association and has been creating cartoons and illustration since he discovered Mad Magazine as a child.
He published his first cartoon in a national magazine when he was 12 (It was about a cat, published by ACP Magazines Ltd).
This was soon followed in high school with a cartoon of a 'wild office party' that won a prize by the Sydney Morning Herald. Rick only entered the competition because the prize was a book by one Rick's favourite cartoonists, Matthew Martin, who is still one of Rick's all time favourite illustrators.
Rick's first commercial freelance job was a series of cartoons published by Australian surfing icon Tracks Magazine. He has illustrated books and brochures for businesses and non-profit organisations, and produced regular work for the Australian Magazine New Vegetarian.
Some time ago,Rick won first prize in a Sydney Morning Herald competition to 'design a birthday card for the Prime Minister'.
