Bio

Raised on a steady diet of 50s culture and hot rods, Steve “Pheck” Ritsua quickly came to love bold colors and fat lines. As time passed, his appetite grew to include fast music, graffiti and old-school horror flicks. Whether employing oils, acrylics, pencil or the Bic ball-point pen, Pheck’s smooth style belies the often fast-paced, frenetic images he conjures from the depths of his hungry soul. Insatiable, Pheck continues to produce art that builds on and encompasses myriad kustom kulture themes.
