Jesse Ryan Illustration

Doom Patrol

2008-10-06T13:37:00.000-07:00

I've recently re-read Grant Morrison's entire Doom Patrol run and it really made me want to draw the strange and demented characters within it.

Aside from this art website, I also have a writing website, cleverly listed as My Writing at the top. My articles range from movies to music to who knows what, and this was the first illustration I did for it. I'm going to keep illustrating my own articles if I have time for it, and I'll post them here too. This piece was the most fun I've had in a long time, because it was just for me and completely ridiculous. Go rent this movie.

Hourman

A character sketch I did reworking Hourman. I've had an idea about a Saving Private Ryan meets DC superheroes type story percolating for a while, and this was my first stab at it. I might work on some more character designs or a complete cover illustration down the line.

Band Illustrations

While completing Twilight, I worked on a bunch of band illustrations. For me, it was pretty much an excuse to play around in photoshop and draw bands I loved, so it was a win/win. I got some good advice to find a story that fit the band, and that was my leaping off point.
