He was unable to meet the fees for art school, and so he joined the US Army in order to pay for college once his service was up. “While on downtime, whether it be in Kosovo, Afghanistan, Iraq, or the 20 other countries I’ve been to, I would practise by drawing on spare folders. Despite my military experience I prefer fun, goofy characters and fantastic environments,” he says.

Ryan’s work is heavily influenced by animation, and it will be showcased in Splinters, his recently funded Kickstarter book project. “The most important thing as an artist is to have fun with your art. If you’re not having fun, you’ve lost your way,” he says.
