Background

About Rick Spears

Rick Spears was born in California during the third quarter of the 20th Century, relocating to Georgia five years later. As with most young children, he was fascinated by dinosaurs and spent many hours drawing pictures of prehistoric animals in various combat scenarios. Time passed and, although still a pretty good artist, his teenaged interests replaced dinosaurs with giant Japanese monsters, Star Wars, and girls (not necessarily in that order). It wasn't until after college that Rick rekindled his love of prehistory and began to fancy himself a 'paleoartist.' Since then, his paleoart has found its way into various books and magazines, and even a dinosaur board game. His sculptures can be seen in several museums and private collections throughout the Southeastern US, Europe and Asia. Rick resides in Georgia with his wife and sons, two dogs and two cats. all who find this dinosaur stuff just a part of everyday life.
