This piece was born with Moe Profane. During a long creative drought brought on by circumstance, otherwise directed energy and lack of studio space wasn’t without it’s share of good. I spent that time working through ideas and processes strictly theoretically, weighing their conceptual merits and how the process would be as much a part of the idea as the image.

My creative impulse bubbled beneath the surface at varying degrees for years until finally a space to create became available the same time an idea to create an image of uncompromisingly obvious masculinity.

Having descended down into South Texas through the Hill Country one day long ago, Dick never claimed to be Texan, but his German heritage and love for tacos is something he shares with the inhabitants of the region. Having earned an MFA from Miami University, OH, he spent the worst years of his life up north, maturing artistically and refining an Iconoclasmatic Pop Art™ style shaped by his experiences as a recovering Catholic, cancer survivor and optimistic existentialist. He lives and works in his humble turquoise studio-home (Dick’s WurstHaus Art Shanty) near downtown San Antonio.
