Ryan was raised on cartoons and comic books, superheroes and villains. He grew up around Native American artifacts and American and learned to appreciate the intimate qualities of aged objects: the textures of rusty iron and crawling paint on old furniture, and even the musty smell of ripened books and magazines. Things that come with embedded narrative and a worn history have always surrounded him, and therefore, influence him. Ryan is attracted to nostalgia and drawn to the curious — to something unusual but familiar — to something that creates a linkage across time.
