Victorian Biker Gang

Ryan — Wed, 11 Aug 2010 16:17:16 +0000

I just wanted to toss out some quick freebies, as people have been requesting one of my recent illustrations. Hopefully the biker gang will join us soon in all its screen-printed glory, but until then, let them decorate your computer or iPhone!

I’ve been hard at work (in the wee hours of the morning mostly) on some awesome new illustrations and projects. I hope to be unveiling everything here shortly. In the meantime…

Have at You!

The last couple weeks have been a little crazy to say the least. My wife and I’s push to finish the nursery for Asher is in full swing, hopefully with some process pics coming next week once all the furniture is assembled and decorations found.

In the meantime I have been making headway in a couple regards. See below:

1. A site redesign. Ideas are on paper, doodles in Photoshop, and now all that remains is a large chunk of free-time. Easy. I am excited to get a site up that reflects a little better the things I’ve learned in my first 7 months with the FORGE crew.

2. Talking to some friends about a little design collective / outlet possibly starting up this fall. I (and many of my friends) love to goof around and might as well make an official home for it all.

3. Speaking of goofing around, I just finished a print I want to get printed up. It’s a collection of random inside jokes, mustaches, and monocles. Oh and boxing. I made a desktop background for anyone who wants it below. Details about prints are forthcoming!

That is all for now…Cheerio!

Bear Desktop BKG

This one is going to be short, but I just wanted to share a desktop I whipped up for my pal Chance. You can have it too. Oh and it is 1680 x 1050 px. Enjoy!

Brrrrrrrr

For the last couple weeks I’ve been working on a bunch of new animals for A Modern Eden. Buried in those illustrations is a whole new section of arctic and antarctic animals. I like the narwhal the best! Check them all out below.

A Modern Eden Posters

A while ago, I got the awesome opportunity to visit Vahalla Studios in Kansas City. I wanted to get the Modern Eden posters printed by someone awesome, and Dan and the guys didn’t disappoint! Jeremy, Jän, and I took a little roadtrip to press-check everything (more just because we wanted to see the process in action), and I put some of the process shots below. To see more pics from the trip, check out FORGE’s Flickr Stream.

Be a Biographer — The Blind Project

Ryan — Wed, 07 Jul 2010 12:30:07 +0000

I recently wrapped up some designs for the guys over at The Blind Project, a non-profit doing it’s part to end human trafficking in Southeast Asia. I was asked by my pal Dave, who is a liason there, and jumped at the chance to help out.

The designs are part of a site by TBP, Be a Biographer, which is a crowd-sourced clothing line, with the aim of telling three unique and true stories, from real girls caught in the web of sex-slavery. The designs posted will become apparel and gallery art, with a final few being judged by the likes of Alex Bogusky (of Crispin porter + Bogusky) and Annalynne McCord (of the new 90210). So if you’re an aspiring designer, check it out, and do some good.

A Modern Eden

Here’s a little sneak peek of my upcoming project, A Modern Eden. I’m currently working with the dudes at FORGE and the mighty Chance Graham to unleash some beautiful animal-inspired products for babies, kids, and adults. Prints, apparel, and even an iPhone/iPad app are forthcoming. Follow me on twitter for more details and sneak peeks of the illustration process!

I wanted to take a quick post to show an illustration that I’m pretty proud of. Some of you out there had a chance to see it Saturday night, but for those of you who don’t work at Real Art, here’s a couple picks of my gift for my awesome pal Andy Nick. Andy loves the movie Hook, especially Rufio, and it seemed fitting to pay honor to both my friend and the movie we love. Pics of the gift giving…

It went over well I think. Details of the illustration can be seen here! I went all out on this one and even got the croc-clock and Jolly Roger in the background. It was all done in Adobe Illustrator with the pen tool and my Wacom tablet. I had it digitally printed, sized at 18×24″ so I could easily find a frame. The hardest part was waiting to give it away since it’s been done since early November! Drew-ce-oooooooooooooooooo
