Webcomics: Riky Christian

Inspiration

This is the age-old story about a pug and the lice that live on his body. He loves them and doesn't allow his human owner to get rid of them. Both the pug and the lice like to eat and they all feast on their food whenever they can.

Biography

There are many things in Riky Christian's life that have changed him and allowed him to evolve. But one thing that never changes, is his love to draw.

Drawing has and will always be Riky's favourite way to express himself. He says: "In this world full of hypocrisy and lies, art is the only thing that's true and it's what makes me human."

After he got his bachelor degree in Visual Communication Design, he worked as a designer and illustrator for a while. Then he realised that that kind of life isn't what he wanted.

He decided to continue studying visual storytelling. Comics was the most suitable medium for him and he used to make comics as a hobby when he was in elementary school.

A year ago Riky was freelancing in his home country of Indonesia and now he's an MDes Comics and Graphic Novels student at DJCAD. Riky says: "I believe that whatever I do in the future, comics will always be a part of my life."

The webcomics published across our digital channels have been created by University of Dundee’s Masters in Comics and Graphic Novels students.
