Absurdist Baroque Punk Comic Melancholia
Rikki Simons is a voice actor, writer, and artist. He is most famous for being the voice of the robot in a dog suit, GIR from Invader ZIM. As an artist and writer he is known for science fiction graphic novels such as Ranklechick and His Three Legged Cat, Super Information Hijinks: Reality Check!, and the unfinished six volume ShutterBox fantasy series, which he co-created with his wife, Tavisha-Wolfgarth-Simons. He is also a background painter in animation, most noted for his color design on Invader ZIM.
An absurdist-atheist most of the time and a deist every third Tuesday of the month, Rikki writes ridiculous science fiction and fantasy stories that are melancholically comedic.
Rikki formed Studio Tavicat in 1993 with his wife and partner Tavisha Wolfgarth-Simons. One of their first comic book series was Robotech: Clone, published by Academy Comics in 1994.
Here is Rikki’s Invader ZIM color portfolio.
And here is his Voice Demo.
Rikki wishes this cluster headache over his left eye would diminish, but he is a nervous curator of injured pride, and he cannot choose his rewards.
Rikki lives in Los Angeles, California.
