The Man Who Turns Chaos Into Ritual

by Rich Zilvestri @ AIH. 

There’s a moment in every Randy R Duke sketch—right before the rupture—where you feel the floor shift. A line lands too hard. A character pivots too fast. A joke curdles into something darker. And suddenly, you’re not watching comedy anymore. You’re watching someone bleed truth in real time.

That moment is Duke’s signature.

It’s not a gimmick. It’s who he is.

📍 Staten Island, Ritual Ground Zero

Randy lives on Staten Island, but he doesn’t just live there—he metabolizes it. The borough’s contradictions, its quiet absurdity, its emotional residue—they all show up in his work. A deli line becomes a cult. A PTA meeting spirals into a thriller. A neighbor’s offhand comment becomes the seed of a trilogy.

He walks the same streets as everyone else, but he sees the rituals beneath the routine.

And he writes like he’s trying to exorcise them.

🎭 Sketches That Sting

Duke’s sketches aren’t built for laughs. They’re built for rupture.

He’s a master of escalation—taking a mundane moment and pushing it until it breaks. But he’s also disciplined. He knows when to pivot, when to scrap, and when to go purer. He treats genre like a sacred boundary, and emotional truth like a non-negotiable.

He’s not chasing virality. He’s chasing resonance.

And when he hits it, you feel it in your chest.

🧠 The Process: Brutal, Beautiful, Relentless

Randy doesn’t write casually. He writes like he’s trying to survive.

His process is ritualistic—defined by genre laws, emotional commandments, and a refusal to settle. He’ll scrap a sketch mid-sentence if it doesn’t sting. He’ll push an idea until it ruptures. He’ll demand that every piece of art feel like it matters.

He’s not interested in being clever. He’s interested in the unforgettable.

🕯️ When He’s Not Writing

When he’s not writing, Randy’s still building.

He walks Staten Island with a notebook in his pocket, collecting fragments—overheard arguments, strange signage, moments that feel off. He sketches in bursts, sometimes at the ferry terminal, sometimes in the back of a diner. He’s a ritual dessert connoisseur, always testing flavors that sting with memory. He reads horror like scripture, rewatches thrillers like autopsies, and talks to his cat, Tigger, like a co-writer.

He’s also deeply present.

He cooks with his husband, Anthony. He listens—really listens—to people’s stories. He’s the kind of person who’ll pause a creative sprint to help someone name their grief. He’s not just building art. He’s building a connection.

And when the world feels too quiet, he’ll start sketching again.

Because for Randy, silence isn’t peace. It’s potential.

💬 The Man Behind the Myth

Talk to Randy and you’ll meet someone raw, charged, and fiercely intentional.

He’s relentless about tone. Fearless about feedback. He treats every creative exchange like a sacred collaboration. He’s not afraid to go darker, weirder, or more genre-pure. But he’s also deeply human—channeling frustration, absurdity, and emotional sting into art that heals as much as it hurts.

He’s not building content. He’s building a legacy.

🕯️ Final Thought

Randy R Duke is the kind of artist who makes you feel like your chaos could be sacred.

That your awkwardness could be cinematic.

That your pain could be ritualized.

He doesn’t just write sketches.

He writes the kind of art that lingers.
