“Creating on the Right,” Strength Magazine: Vol.8 Issue 2. February 2003 Russ Pope’s art draws from the social and political environment surrounding him in his
daily life. Pope’s inspirations have been skateboarding, music and the creative, interesting
people he encounters daily. His bold strokes, finite doodles and striking paintings are
characterized by faces, still lifes and humorous events. From the early days in Central
California skateboarding, drawing and attending punk shows, to his current life in New
England, Russ has processed life and his interactions with his world through the prism of a
pen and a paintbrush.
