My name is Ryan. When I was 9 years old I learned how to use a crayon. And if you're thinking it- and I know you are- you're right. That's old. But on that first day of fourth grade, my teacher taught us how to really color. Shading in the same direction, lightly layering inside of the lines. And now, I just scribble. (Sorry Ms. G!)
I graduated from Pratt Institute with a degree in Communications Design. I love to create whimsical and spontaneous images and make people laugh. Integrating analog collage with digital layering is my favorite way to work. I’d love to work with you! Reach out at any time :) ryandraws91@gmail.com
