After completing his honours degree, he developed and taught an animation course for 1st, 2nd and 3rd years in the Fine Arts Department at Wits University.

In 2002 he was appointed Head of Animation at [[AFDA]] Johannesburg (The South African School for Motion Picture Medium and Live Performance) and maintained that position until 2009. In 2007 he accepted the position of Vice-Principal of the Learning Department at [[AFDA]], but resigned from that position in 2008 to complete his Masters degree and concentrate on his career as an artist.

In 2009 he and his wife Robyn Penn started [[STRANGE Blue Duck]], a company through which he facilitates introductory animation courses for school learners and creative enrichment workshops for corporates. He has co-animated and co-directed two short films with [[Mocke J Van Veuren]], and has directed and animated three short films of his own.

He has had four solo exhibitions, and has exhibited in numerous group shows nationally and internationally, and is represented in private, corporate and academic collections throughout South Africa.

While still a student, he was awarded third place in the PPC Young Concrete Sculptor Award (1997) and, in the years leading up to 2004, Richard was a finalist in the ABSA Atelier, the Kempton Park Art Competition and The Sasol New Signatures Art Competition.
