Richard McLean is an Australian illustrator, writer, musician, artist and digital artist. 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. He often refers to himself as Richie Mclean to differentiate himself from the American artist of the same name.

A mental health advocate with the likes of SANE Australia, The Mental Health Research Institute, The Dax Collection and others, he has completed a master's degree in education at Victoria University in Melbourne. McLean pursued his academic interests and completed his PhD at Victoria University in 2020. His research focused on ethical considerations and reflections of young people inheriting a world of Artificial Intelligence and Superintelligence, with a particular emphasis on Transhumanism.
