There is a little bit of everything in the works of Rich Kelly. You have music posters, movie posters, television program illustrations, and straight gallery works all from one hand (or two hands). Kelly has made work for Bonnie Prince Billy, Breaking Bad, Planet of the Apes, R Kelly, The Tallest Man on Earth, and other musicians and entertainers. He is trying not to break things.

As an illustration Rich Kelly did for the musician Dr. Dog, this gorgeously inked portrait of a weathered man who has done his time under the needle. It was done for the purpose of being a printed poster for a show at the Vic Theater in Chicago, IL. I love the palette and focus on the tattoo work in the image.
