My name is Richard Medina.
I am an award-winning designer, artist, and filmmaker. I have self-studied graphic design and art for the better part of may life, taken art and design classes from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, and I work with several design, film, and art mentors. I created this website to showcase my portfolio and blog about my artistic explorations.

The Art Kit: Basic
The Art Kit is a boxed set of basic miniature art supplies. It is my first foray into packaging design and entrepreneurship. I designed and hand made fifty kits, which I am selling through Ebay. You can buy them here: bit.ly/19a2jau

Duplicate Process Experiment
A short experimental film exploring the concept of time, creation, and process. The film combines my filmed painting process with the same shot reversed. The film begins and ends at the same point in time despite both timelines completing their journey. Under the seemingly chaotic mixture of sight and sound lies ritualistic order which slowly reveals itself to the viewer.
