Ryan Andrews

Ryan Andrews is an American illustrator and artist, whose main claim to fame lies with the comic/sequential art he produces.

It appears that Andrews uses ink washes to add tone to his work, occasionally alternating in hue to add importance to the subject; for example, in 'Our Blood Stained Roof', the colour red is used liberally.

There is a theme of growing up/moving on in his sequential work. Whilst the subject itself is outlandish and frankly surreal, it acts as a launching pad for exposition of the characters, and the metaphor of changing, leaving the past behind.

And before you ask about lack of pictures, I'm not too sure if I could do that, copyright and all. Sorry.
