About

Artist / Illustrator / Animator

Based in Washington DC, Ronan’s work centers around his vivid and colorful style of illustration - capturing the tightness of crisp, graphic work while still retaining a hand-drawn feel with a splash of traditional media textures. Cleverness, humor and movement play an important role in conceptualizing his illustrations. Projects often focus around decorative illustrations for branding, conceptual editorial work, and various motion illustration projects.

Past clients include The Washington Post, New York Times, The Dogist, Threadless, STL’s Riverfront Times, Dallas Observer, Washington City Paper, NAKED Juice, the Salt Lake City Weekly, Tullamore D.E.W. Whiskey, Christianity Today, The Cleveland Scene, The Muppets, Detroit's Metro Times, MTV, the comedy podcast Professor Blastoff, The Yetee, the Colorado Symphony, Portland's Willamette Week and many more.

BFA from University of Michigan's Stamps School of A&D - 2013
