Ryan Solski's work is mostly illustrative and encompasses themes which are rooted in Dreams. He is a graduate from Ontario College of Art & Design... where he received a Diploma for Integrated Media (Fine Arts), in 2005. When it comes to work, not much can hold Ryan back from creating a plethora of material in a presentable and storable manner, with more than 200 Artist Books created in the early part of his career. At this point Ryan has participated in 54 Gallery Shows... currently exhibiting illustrations from his Artist Books.
He's been working year round on a 160 page full colour hardcover graphic novel. This year the focus in galleries has been showing pages from the book before publication for sale, promotion, feedback, & fun. After the book is complete he's planning something similar although possibly with different themes.
This year Ryan is focusing on narrative based projects including an illustrated young adults novel about Elves in the Dark Age, and a 48 page graphic novel starring a new character called Red. Both works are full colour and demonstrate his painting style and often whimsical approach to his fun and friendly world.
Ryan's work is all fiction, so have fun with it, and enjoy the visuals.
