In Ghana and was heading up to Kumasi with a friend who used to be in partnership with his college friend running a handmade shoe empire.

Rico is not your fine-art educated type; there's no waffle and no literary enigma machines like dictionaries or thesauruses required to decode him. Yes, he will drop the occasional f-bomb.

He is all visual, direct in speech, has a partial filter, and, if we're being honest, he is not keen on writing 'captions,' 'artist statements,' 'descriptions,' or 'bios.' These are the very things that tend to alienate many artists like himself, who aren’t silver-tongued wordsmiths with too much to say.

So, we will keep it short and sweet: Rico takes photos.

The End!
