Rick Altergott is a cartoonist/ illustrator/ painter best known as the creator of the fictional character Doofus who lives in “Flowertown, U.S.A.” with his best friend “Henry Hotchkiss”. His highly anticipated Graphic Novel, “Blessed Be” will be available in May, 2024, published by Fantagraphics Books, and is available to order on their website..

As a gallery artist, he has created images fully from the imagination, or inspired by direct observation, these being mostly semi-urban landscapes. Plans are to continue this two tiered approach and see where it leads, creatively.

He is learning to paint in Oil on canvas, and continues to work in Watercolor, and pen and ink, and is enjoying making  homemade screen printed images using halftones created in Photoshop.
