# About me
My Name is Philip Rice, a 28-year-old artist residing in Toronto, Canada. I studied at the Ontario College of Art and Design, or OCAD University as it's now called.My work generally consists of either figure and portrait work, or an exploration of one of my Aspergian obsessions. I love memes, in the original sense of the word - an idea or unit of information that changes and evolves as it passes through our cultural landscape. A lot of my series involve taking one specific idea and exploring its past and all the permutations its taken. This is especially prevalent in my Vampire Series - which looks at every vampire story published before 1923 - and my Alien Series - in which I seek to document the beliefs of UFOlogists and alleged abductees and contactees of aliens (beliefs I don't share, but find fascinating).
I also use this account to post fanart, sketches I particularly like, and concept art for future works.

Do you think you will be able to do your own interpretation of the humanoid creatures in Olaf Stapledon's Last and First Men?

I don't think that's in the public domain. I usually only stray from that territory for Lovecraft writers.

Since Sony is making a live action Sonic the hedgehog film who do you think should play Robotnik? Hugo Weaving or Benedict Cumberbatch?

I know very little about Sonic. I didn't even know they were making a movie.
I don't know who should play Robotnik. John Goodman, maybe?

he doesn't sound menacing enough. I think he needs to be portrayed by someone like this. www.youtube.com/watch?v=NUa8DL…

Love your Lucian's true history art and various martian species! Do you think that you'll do one of the martians from Stranger in a Strange Land?

Thanks. I won't be doing SiaSL. It's not even close to public domain. With a few exceptions, like the Lovecraft Mythos, I like to draw things that are copyright-free.

You sir are such a skilled artist. You should put your artwork into a book about Martian and Lunar wildlife!!! I mean, you, like so many deviantARTists do not deserve to be overshadowed and underrated.
