Rick Sinnett of Mustang, Oklahoma, is a muralist, printmaker, and curator. He is self-taught and has referred to himself as a folk artist. His artwork, which characteristically has bold lines, also typically includes vibrant colors and repeated patterns. His early artistic career took him to California where he adopted the moniker Mothman, due to the animals and natural elements which serve as the foundation of his compositions. There he sold his screenprints and ink drawings. He also began giving away hand-drawn artworks in exchange for the recipient expressing concern or kindness to others who they may encounter. This initial exchange became the basis for his āart for the peopleā approach to his career, including murals and āart dropsā using social media.
