WELCOME TO GLYPHWORKS.
A growing collection of characters, illustrated worlds and visual stories created by illustrator and Creative Director Rico Griffiths-Taitte.

RICO AT WORK
THE PERSON BEHIND THE GLYPHS
Glyphworks is the independent character universe of illustrator and Creative Director Rico Griffiths-Taitte.
I've spent decades drawing characters, building visual worlds and finding stories in the people, music, culture and everyday moments around me.
Some characters begin with an idea. Others start with something I've seen, heard or overheard. And occasionally one just appears on the page and refuses to leave.
Glyphworks is where I give them somewhere to live.
GLYPHWORKS PRINT CLUB
New characters. New prints. First look.
A little something from the Glyphworks studio, sent occasionally. New characters, upcoming editions, behind-the-scenes work and first access to selected releases.
