Dominic LaRiccia, Musical Collection

‘Bowie’ (Signed by the Artist). Black Framed Canvas, 16” x 20”

Back in 1992, Drew Robinson and Dominic LaRiccia started Spork with one purpose in mind - to draw out of your head. They loved drawing. Early on, they would occasionally do design work, branding, page layout, web design, and other related stuff. But as they matured, they realized - or re-realized - that drawing was their thing, and their clients agreed. Now, many moons later, (over 10,000!), they finally decided it was time to share their years hard work and creative energy by offering beautiful and museum quality prints and so Spork Fine Art was created.

The prints are numbered 11/50, indicating they are part of a limited edition (15.5" x 11.5").
