DESIGNER
Re-branding this Chicago music venue was this designer’s dream come true. By picking up the bubble motif from the previous signage and pairing it with some custom lettering, the feel of the Tonic Room’s brand went from dated to classic.
The subtle distressed textures and bold black and red colors were the perfect toolkit for building on the Tonic Room’s reputation as Chicago’s most artist-friendly venue. A great place to listen to music, sip a drink and be part of the fabric of Chicago’s music scene.

A FEW THINGS
ABOUT ME
FATHER OF TWO • AQUARIUS • ASPIRING WIZARD
Hi, I'm Ryan. I've been developing top rail artwork for rock bands, dive bars, and other renegades and scoundrels since 2007.
I’m visually driven and love to create. I’ve been utilizing my art and design background to make lots of cool stuff for at least 12 years – key illustrations, product design, events, brand identity, packaging, multimedia social content and high-level strategic concepts.
I’m passionate about this stuff and I’m very much at home with a large team – partnering with large CPG brands on huge promotions. But I get true satisfaction by helping upstarts craft their voice through hand-crafted design and illustration.

Lately I’ve been inspired by vintage fantasy artwork, the North American wilderness, disco music and old beer cans.

Why Outrider?
An outrider is someone who rides ahead to make sure that the rest of the group is ok. They look outward to the horizon and chart new territory. They’re someone who might go alone and take a unique path but always has the safety and wellbeing of the group in mind. Outrider is my ethos for the art I create. To be adventerous and new while holding space for everyone in your heart.
