Today his phenomenal creative talents are witnessed by thou- sands upon thousands of locals and tourists who throng the streets of New Orleans each year to catch a glimpse of one of the oldest and most prestigious parades of the season, the Krewe of Mid-City. According to Ricardo, “The best is still to come!” Born in New Orleans, Ricardo is the third son of local golfing legend Eddie “Blackie” Pustanio, a well-known icon of the sport. When Ricardo was baptized, the famous “Diamond Jim” Moran was hailed as his godfather and all the major golfing pros who visited the elder Pustanio at his City Park Golf Course digs bounced little Ricardo on their knees at one time or another. Like nearly every child brought up in the city of New Orleans, Ricardo was taught by his parents to enjoy the pageantry and revelry of the great old-line Mardi Gras parades. These halcyon Mardi Gras days of his youth were Ricardo’s first taste of the passion that would become the artistic inspiration of his later career. During the 1960s Ricardo’s entries won first place awards and rode with the King of Mid-City three years in a row: a true precursor of things to come. The winner of many art competitions throughout his life, his earliest prize-win- ning work was created while Ricardo was still in Kindergarten. From an early age, Ricardo’s works were distinguished with prizes and praise. Many are now in private art collections in New Orleans and across the United States. Ricardo’s special style has been very visible in his work on numerous backdrops and displays for the 1984 New Orleans World’s Fair; several of his original pieces from that Fair have garnered high prices at auctions throughout the United States and Europe. Ricardo served Le Petit Theatre du Vieux Carré as technical director for its 1992 to 1993 season, during which he contributed his considerable artistic talents to the creation of scenery and backdrops for the season’s major productions, including West Side Story and The Baby Dance, for which he created a giant sixty-foot by thirty-foot pâpier-maché pyramid, one of the highlights of the season. Ricardo’s set designs for the REAL ALIENS, SPACE BEINGS, AND CREATURES FROM OTHER WORLDS [vii] Real Aliens 3/9/11 11:46 AM Page viii Contributors productions of King Midas and the Golden Touch and The Snow Queen won him numerous awards. In 1992 Ricardo began his long association with William Crumb and the Children’s Educational Theatre. His work on scenery and backdrops has toured with the company in thirteen major productions across the United States, and he continues to contribute his talents to the organization to this day.
