About
Hi, I’m Ryan O’Connor, a professional artist and illustrator working in both traditional and digital media since 2018. I blend craftsmanship and creativity to bring ideas to life across fine art and illustration, with a focus on playful yet thought-provoking visuals. With a professional background in graphic design, I know how to not only compose visually striking designs, but elevate them with my artistic abilities.
My work leans toward the surreal and tongue-in-cheek, drawing inspiration from pop culture, nostalgia, music, and nature. I aim to spark connection and curiosity in viewers.
