Hiya! I’m Ryan.

That’s me in the picture below, in all of my autumnal ginger glory. 🍁 🍂

I’m a life-long doodler and illustrator based out of Tulsa, Oklahoma. I love music and reading books and taking photos of people, places and things.

By day, I manage operations in my family’s business and by night I still manage operations in my family’s business but sometimes I draw or paint. 😂

I go back and forth between digital illustration and working in traditional mediums. When I’m illustrating digitally, you’ll find me either using my 12” iPad Pro or my little bitty iPad Mini, depending on the situation. I would be hard-pressed to choose a favorite device as they are both workhorses and fill different spaces in my practice.

When I’m working traditionally, I can’t be contained. 😂

One week I’m deep into my watercolors and filling my sketchbook with paintings. The next I’m surrounded by markers and liners. Most recently I’ve been having an extended love affair with acryla gouache. I’ve been spicing up that affair by bringing in colored pencils and oil pastels too. It’s steamy AF over here.
