My name is Ryan! I am a freelance illustrator working out of my studio in Grand Rapids, Michigan. I love painting! I primarily work digitally, but that won't stop me from dabbling in traditional mediums on my own time. I am constantly studying and will always see myself as a full-time student. There is so much to learn, and I strive to improve my craft each day. 

​

I see art as a big puzzle that you need to slowly build and solve. Each aspect of art, like anatomy, perspective, and color, are like puzzle pieces. Only when you have them all together, do you get a fully realized illustration.
