Rick Sweden Chats About Princess Bento, Smiling Friends & Street Art

MukPod

Rick Sweden is a production design and concept artist for such diverse projects as Bro Town, Monster Beach and even Shortland Street. Yeah, THAT Shortland Street.

Rick currently lives in Australia and has recently been working for Princess Bento, a new Melbourne based animation studio, a collaborative effort between American and Australian production companies, to help bring Australia's unique comic voice to the world with Adult Swim hits 'Smiling Friends' and 'YOLO: Crystal Fantasy'.
We also chat with Rick about being able to adapt to wildly different visual styles, recharging your batteries by doing art for yourself and Josh uses a tenuous connection to Gilbert Gottfried to talk about Aladdin for a while.
