The internationally known Los Angeles resident Plasticgod took to drawing the minute he picked up a pencil at two years of age. He's sold works to an extensive list of 40 or more music and Academy Award winning movie celebrities including Bruce Willis, Malcolm McDowell, Jamie Foxx, Seth Green, and Japan's T.M.
Revolution. Ellen Degenerous had even specifically requested his art for her show in 2007. The political world has taken to the soft-satire, as Ambassadors for Switzerland are also on his roster of collectors. PG has been exhibiting since 2001 and has shown extensively (over 100 shows) in galleries and art-related boutiques including a collaboration line with high-end jewelry company Minx. Moving into the world of TV PG has had his works seen on major network shows like MTV's The Real World Hollywood, TMZ on Fox network, Your LA on NBC. He's had press in international magazines such as Italian Vogue and Elle, as well as Entertainment Weekly, Sportswear, two covers for BPM and mentions in the New York and Los Angeles Times, it's no wonder he's been dubbed the "The 21st Century Warhol".
His own twist on celebrity caricature comprises the popular "Heads" collection of over 900 pop and political icons. These icons are now taking form in the shape of 3-D vinyl toys as Plasticgod supplied the exclusive Moonman vinyl toy for the 2007 MTV VMA's. Socially and environmentally conscious, Plasticgod gives back! He's been involved in numerous charities raising money for Hurricane Katrina, tsunami relief, cancer research, animal rights, USC Special Olympics , human rights, children's fundraisers, various "green" foundations and the list goes on. Plasticgod is definitely one to follow closely for years to come

You are a beautful Friend, thank you. Respect yourself and others will respect you. Self-respect knows no considerations. Be beautiful if you can, wise if you want to, but be respected - that is essential. May the remainder of your week be one of securing peace and serenity.
Best wishes ever, Stephen Richards [Cosmic_ordering_service]
