R A West multi media The Child

he was tired of the basic portrait/skull /figure attempts at drawing that everybody seemed to be doing, so R A began experimenting with distorted faces and mutated bodies. eventually, species mutations and ideas of the dysfunctional human race became a staple of his design style. here are some of his works.

DIGITAL PHOTOS

2025/2026

R A has displayed his photographs at galleries in santa monica and long beach california. at some point, his 35mm camera died a disease of light leakage. his replacement digital camera got dropped and broke into his brain finger.

here are some cell phone pics he has done in the last year.

the 1970’s were filled with garbage, sentimental folk pop and disco. moustaches and bearded creeps everywhere! parents were the enemy and life was feral. Music became another source of medicine. at 12 years old, i learned a few chords on guitar and farted around with some of my peers writing “heavy metal music”. by high school i met a musical genius, “POOPY NECROPONDE”. his influence and support extended into my body like a parasite of ugly truth and humour. here is a portpolio of things i have done since then.
