Journey So Far

My name is Richard Ilfraim, also known by DoseofRich on Instagram. I'm a multimedia illustrator/concept artist having art from various disciplines from pen, and Copics, but mostly digital artwork. I was born in December 1995, and raised in Queens, New York by a Haitian Immigrant mother with an older brother as well. I've loved drawing ever since I was a kid, as i was first inspired by my older brother's works at a young age. At age 19 in 2015 was when i first made Doseofrich, as it was a website initially.  In 2016, i made the Instagram account for it which is the main brand i use to this day.  I remade my site in 2020, with it being more emphasized on digital art.  I have gained many accolades for my time as an artist. is being featured on the official Adobe website in 2020 for making thought provoking art for Color for Change for to spread awareness for voter suppression. Another is being part of Conception Arts, a global arts collective where artists of different disciplines can sell there work.  Having inspiration from culture, movies, and anime, I aim to expresses himself in a plethora of ways with my  main purpose to embrace differences, deliver the power of expression through art, and to provide unity and representation in the world.  I often draws characters in different cultures, drawing black, Asian, Latino, and even Muslim characters in his own distinct style with influence from Anime, Disney, and American Comics. I even draw characters from pop culture, such as game characters like Link from Legend of Zelda or Kratos from God of War. With my love of showing different sides of humanity through the power of expression I am a strong force not just in the art world, but in a planet where people need to awaken to see their greatest potentials. I hope my art will bring people a little bit closer to that ideal.
