Richard J. Kirk was born in 1974 in Monclova, Mexico. In 2002, after studying Communication Design at Kinston University and Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design, and a failed attempt at becoming a beach bum, he set up the design partnership Onepom. At Onepom he worked on a range of sports projects for the World Sports group, Parallel Media, American Express, and Evian. In 2005 he consulted on the Signature brand for Harrods, developing a range of products including the character Snooty which became a leading product line. During his time with the studio he also worked on IPO brochures, annual reports and brand applications for companies and private banks within the City of London, charitable work for Treloar’s, and The Lord Mayor’s Appeal. In 2013 after a 3 year hiatus from the design world he founded the design consultancy Manikato. Working as an independent, multi-disciplinary designer, Richard splits his time consulting with both public and private sectors on a variety of national and international projects. The practice produces print, screen and three- dimensional graphics for publishing, marketing, press, exhibition, events, retail product development and brand applications. He is a retained creative consultant within the retail sector, and creative director at the charitable foundation Musique Sans Frontières. When not working Richard can be found in his garden looking after his collection of Mentheae (Mints).

10 designers, studios, artists and illustrators who were specially commissioned by Stereohype to form part of the 10x10 Poster/Badge Anniversary Series. The series consists of 10 A1-sized posters that each come with its corresponding one inch (25mm) button badge – all inspired by the number 10 and/or 1,000 and/or 10x10. Button badges either mirror or compliment the according poster design. This series was created for the FL@33-curated and designed 10th anniversary exhibition Stereohype 2004–2014 (visit flat33.com for documentation). Apart from Alan Kitching's original letterpress poster are all other 10x10 contributions released as Fine Art Giclée Prints – all in a limited edition of 10. The 10 according button badges helped to push the total count of Stereohype’s ever-growing collection to the magical number 1,000. The 10x10 contributors are: Alan Kitching, Daniel Eatock, Deanne Cheuk, Geneviève Gauckler, Ian Wright, Michael C. Place (Build), Richard J. Kirk (Manikato), Twopoints, Vaughan Oliver (v23) and Stereohype-founders FL@33.
