Richard McLean is an Australian illustrator writer, artist and digital artist.[1] He works as a graphic artist and illustrator for the Melbourne-based newspaper, The Age. He suffers from schizophrenia, the experience of which he often incorporates into his art.[2] He often refers to himself as Richie Mclean to differentiate himself from the American artist of the same name.[3]

A mental health advocate for many years with the likes of SANE Australia, The Dax Collection and others, he has completed a Masters in Education at Victoria University, Melbourne, with the creative exegesis and creative article available to see and download at http://www.theuniversalembrace.com

He is now enrolled at Victoria College in Melbourne undergoing his PhD, with his focus being on Artificial Intelligence, Superintelligence enabling Trans Humanism and what young people ethically think about inheriting this technological world.
