Psychedelic Paperchase is a compilation of short texts and pictures compiled by the artist Richard Batty and writer Steven Picard. Richards father died when he was just six years old, and Steven was on hand to look after him when his mother needed a child sitter. They would often play picture consequences, ending up in a hysterically laughing young Richard. They have kept in touch with each other over the years and finally got round to completing this book of psychedelic texts and images.

O autorovi

I studied Fine Art and Graphic Design at Bristol university of West England. My style is influenced and rooted in 1970’s psychedelic comics, album covers and posters. Compiling this book, firstly I must say I’ve been very lucky to work with a writer of Steven’s calibre, whose texts are very humorous, intelligent and romantic. I was born and raised in London, a real 80’s street kid that excelled in football and other sports. I wasn’t so good at school, not a trouble maker or menace, but I got away with not doing much work. I used to mainly do doodles on my class books which would eventually evolve into my style of drawing found in this book.
