My Bio
I’ve been making images for as long as I’ve been able to get my little mitts around a Crayola. Some of my earliest memories involve being face down in a pad of paper and scribbling like a wild man in the living room. When I let my mind take me back I can still feel the shag carpet imprinting abstract designs on my skin and the waxy smell of the crayon as I pulled it across the paper.

It’s funny to think, looking back, that I’m still completely enamored with doing the very same things today. Sure, now I have a fancy desk and the tools aren’t nearly as crude. But the passion for creating stories and imagining worlds has always remained.

For the last five years I’ve been fortunate to have an outlet for that passion by working in the video game industry. The past year I have worked as a creature and character concept artist for an MMO developer in Las Vegas. Recently that studio unexpectedly closed its doors and now I’m looking for new places to continue living out that love for cultivating the imagination and creating amazing worlds.

If you’re interested in hiring me for my services (full time or contract) I’d appreciate you contacting me via email. I can provide a resume, references and additional samples upon request. I’m very much looking forward to sharing my passion and imagination with you!

Hey guys! It's been a while so I figured I'd update this old thing. I mostly wanted to apologize for spamming my gallery with updated sketchbook work. I've been keeping my blog updated pretty regularly at ryanbowlin.com. And I've been doing a lot of sketch work recently for fun. I've kind of reserved my DA account for more finished pieces but I've been doodling so much that I figure I'll start posting in a sketchbook section here as well. I hope you guys won't mind the updates over the next week or so and I hope you enjoy looking through all my scraps as much as I did making them! I also wanted to guage interest in regards to me doing commi
