About Ryan Reid

Illustrator, comic artist, designer

My name is Ryan Reid. I’m a freelance illustrator, comic artist and designer who’s been creating original illustrations, comics, and weird short stories for as long as I can remember. I also design books and zines to showcase my digital and hand-drawn art and visual storytelling.

I grew up on a fruit farm drawing comic art and daydreaming about the vastness of the universe. I followed that with over 20 years in a cubicle designing things I didn’t care about and thinking about the absurdity of life. My writing is often wry, sardonic, and I like to think also optimistic.

I’m currently working on myself, but if this all turns out to be a weird fever dream because of that muskrat bite when I was 14, I may not bother.
