Scenes from the road
I ask that same question to myself all the time. This site is still in its infancy, and will change. As i hope I will, too. Since you're here, maybe make my day, and look at the art, blog, store, etc, and maybe leave me a note if you want, thanks.

Richard L. Ross, Artist
Ross is a self-taught artist from Irving, Texas. Ross holds a degree in History from the University of Dallas. He began forming his artistic voice in the atmosphere of the early hardcore punk scene of Dallas. During this time, he found glimpses of beauty in the chaos of specific moments, and the courage to question the grand narratives that had formed his life’s early foundations. Ross developed his own meta-narrative which he has called “The Road to the Store”. Based on the Kantian concept that beliefs are formed from the question, “what can I hope”, Ross sees himself as a traveler along a road with this question motivating his destination. In the anticipation of the “what can I hope” question, Ross sees a similarity to one going to the store to shop for what they want and need. In his art, Ross has created a symbolistic cast of characters who play out his narrative in beautiful glimpses of the chaos and uncertainty he has witnessed along his road to the store’s journey.
I use many different mediums, Most recent works have been in mixed media collage and lino cut collage, but i have worked in a wide variety of materials depending on my mood and desired outcome.
I am inspired by the journey, and what it means to be a traveler along the Road to the Store.
