His work has appeared in festivals (including Hong Kong's Clockenflap), Ralph Larmann's 'Stage Design' (published by daab, and featuring his work for George Michael), and in magazines such as Digital Arts and Total Production.

On 19 June 2006, Richard Cullen entered in London into a civil partnership with his boyfriend of two years, Darren Hayes[1][2] previously of Savage Garden. Hayes announced the event two days prior on his official website.[3] Before the announcement Cullen's name had appeared on the website as the designer of the cover for Hayes' single "So Beautiful".
