I decided to split one long post into two shorter ones, so it's a two-for-one day.

In honor of yesterday's black and white drawings, and today's post about Thirst, here are some personal works by Thirst founder, Rick Valicenti.

Rick was recently awarded the American Institute of Graphic Artists (AIGA) Medal in 2006 for his sustained contribution to design excellence and development of the profession. This medal is the highest honor in the graphic design profession.

Rick Valicenti provides inspiration to his colleagues and mentorship to a generation of students. For the past two decades, Rick has lent his time and energies to college and high school students in the form of workshops and personal critiques on the design industry.
