Ryan seems to work with similar methods to those of Andy Warhol as he "...works with a posse of his close mates." Ryan encourages the insight and opinions of his friends and their involvement is important to him. It was interesting to find out that Ryan is a hurricane Katrin refugee and while he currently resides in Los Angeles he has produced World Wall, which is a commemorative piece attributed to the disasterous effects of hurricane Katrina. He worked alongside another artist by the name of Lizze Finch. I always love to see works of art that have a deeper meaning and to know that the artist really put their heart into it. Thats part of the reason I have always been such a fan of art because art can be the expression of the not so literal aspects of one's life, it doesn't necessarily depend on logic to make sense of it all.
Now for a more obscure piece, Ryan created Mother . This piece is not as impressive to me as The Wall but I can appreciate it none-the-less, as explained on the website, Ryan's works are often compilations of efforts from numerous artists. He is big on collective effort and group cooperation. It is refreshing to see because he is not all about his ego and producing arts that are solely his own.
