A nationally published award-winning cartoonist for over ten years, Riik began drawing his cartoon strip "All the World" for Metro Pulse in 1992.
He spent several years as an actor, entertainer and stand-up comic and currently has settled into the role of marketing designer for a local professional theatre company. When not drawing, coloring and glueing stuff, Riik spends too much time watching "thirtysomething" reruns.
