About Me
My name is Brian Richard, but you can call me MonkeyMan. Everyone does. I am a proud artist, and all around nerd who was born and raised in New Orleans. And what do I do? I create. I create websites, design logos, paint portraits, design event promotional material, and so much more.
With a lifetime of creativity as an artist, plus 20 years of experience in the website design and graphic design field creating custom logos, designing websites and more; if it can be done in a visual medium, I have done it. In recent years, I have created designs for everyone from Australian tradies to American broadcasting company Entercom Communications, award-winning musicians Big Sam’s Funky Nation, and NFL star Robert Meachem. However, no job is too small. I’ve created logos for new businesses, custom art pieces for celebrities, and built websites for companies who want a voice on the Internet.
My prices are affordable, competitive, and customized to your project. If you need a simple website, you will only pay for a simple website. If you need a custom logo created for your business, that's exactly what you will get. There are no hidden charges, and no hidden fees. Ask about getting a free consultation.
Art & Photography
On top of my website and graphic design background, I am also a traditional artist. Drawing, painting, photography, digital art - you name it and I've done it. You can see some examples of my work from over the years in its various mediums below. You can also see more on my Facebook page.
If you would like to purchase a print of my work, contact me here for more info or visit my Etsy store. Worldwide shipping is available.
Graphic Design
Hiring a professional graphic designer will give your project what it needs to help you stand out from the crowd. Having an original logo, and distinctive branding can raise your business above your competitors. A consistent logo will give your business brand recognition and help contribute to it's longevity in the market and create brand loyalty with the public.
The FatKid Project
The FatKid Project is an on-going art series that I started in 2008. It started out as a daily drawing project and became very popular online. The series has since expanded to over 200 pieces and has spread to magazines and blogs, as well as lead to appearances at Comic Con International: San Diego and Wizard World Comic Con.
You can check out the series on Facebook and Tumblr, and follow as new pieces in the series get posted using the hashtag #FatKidProject on Instagram and Twitter. Prints are available for purchase on my Etsy store. You can also contact me for customized FatKid Project designs. Here are just a few of the fan favorites:

Website Design
A website is a important tool for any artist, restaurant or any business to have. A beautiful, mobile friendly, website connects you to your audience and allows you to share your passion with the world. With more people going online to find what they need every day, having a website gives you a level of credibility and puts you in the conversation with competitors in your field.
A professionally designed website can be there to answer the questions of a potential customer 24 hours a day saving you time and money. It gives more info about who you are and what you do, than any flyer or business card can do.
