This site is now pretty outdated, but it does still contain older works.
In Short:
Ryan attended and graduated from RISD (Rhode Island School
Of Design) and soon after helped to create tons of artwork
for the cult phenom Obey/Giant. In 1995 Ryan was asked to
sign on as faculty at RISD in the Animation Department. At
about that same time, he co-started two companies... ZAP Media
(PC games) and Mammoth Studios (high-end CG). After completing
work for a diverse group of clients including Prince Paul,
De La Soul, Looking Glass Studios, Hasbro and Phish, Ryan
took the Art Director position at the best videogame developer
in the world, Harmonix. Currently, he is at work for both
Harmonix and RISD and has released many video games in the past
decade including Guitar Hero, Guitar Hero 2, Rock Band, Rock Band 2, reQuency and Amplitude.
