I've admired his work for sometime now. I'm always in awe when I see a new piece of work he has created. Although he would mainly be praised for his beautiful, realistic oil paintings, I feel his illustration work is just as dynamic. They're so simple yet powerful and imaginative, each one tells a unique story. It may not be to every ones taste, but i'm a big fan of quirky illustrations. Illustrations that you could look at for hours wondering what is going on and what will happen next. Ryan brings a sense of humour to his work, so you don't have to take it too seriously.
I love the amount of detail in this particular illustration. It is drawn with such precisson and attention to detail using only pens and markers. I think its funny how he incorporates Belfast into his work, it makes me think of someone sitting at city hall waiting for their bus and day dreaming about this event. I think the illustration is trying to show how much people are like zombies on their way to work.
He is also a big fan of the sketchbook. He always has his with him at all times ready to sketch out his ideas.
I believe his work is just as strong as the number of illustrators on the illustration agency website we have come across. I think it's great that there is still such strong talent coming from Northern Ireland and many new artists that have still to be discovered.Sadly his online illustration portfolios are limited but I think they are worth a good look around and i'm sure he'll add more soon.
