funhouse57's Profile

Bio

Kansas City -born illustrator, painter, ceramicist and part-time junk collector,
Dick Daniels is a child of the 50’s who blossomed in the full glare of the
psychedelic ‘60’s, influenced by the underground comix movement,
American folk art and cheap commercial packaging.
Daniels worked as an illustrator at The Kansas City Star for five years and
a card artist for Shoebox Greetings/Hallmark since the late 80’s.

For extra fun he creates oddball wooden signs in his ramshackle basement studio,
surrounded by a sprawling mass of artifacts from his past, present and future.
Carnival punks, Rat Fink model kits, wooden processed cheese boxes,
half-finished robots, MadBalls, Smurf collectibles, stacks of Roi-Tan cigar boxes,
millions of old plastic and hard rubber toys, boxes of parts and weathered wood.
Daniels is a volunteer with the Kansas City Clay Guild where he makes
unusual ceramic skulls, masks and bunny rabbits.
