Rick Blanco is a seasoned creative whose career in commercial art and entertainment spans over three decades. An award-winning designer, his professional work has included leading creative roles for some of the world’s most recognizable entertainment brands, including Disney, Mattel, Cartoon Network, and Xbox. But his love of art began long before his career - pretty much as soon as he was old enough to hold a pencil.

Blanco’s creative point of view is shaped as much by his lifelong fascination with fine art as it is by his work in entertainment. His greatest inspirations come from the darker side of the imagination: Halloween, classic horror, femme fatales, gothic romance, and all things macabre.

Through CasaBlanco Creative, Blanco brings those worlds together - combining decades of creative direction, design, storytelling, and a flair for the theatrical to create immersive experiences that blur the line between art, entertainment, and atmosphere.
