about me

Ahoy! My name is Ryan Clark and I live in the gorgeous metropolis known as Dayton, Ohio. You should visit sometime. Really.

I am a Graphic Designer by title, and spend my days designing for print and web at FORGE. In my spare time I design shirts for clothing lines, album artwork for record labels, blogs, myspace layouts, and any other odd-jobs that come my way.


I love Art Nouveau, Mid-century Modernism, and Caravaggio, and was raised on a steady stream of X-Men comics and Jim Henson cartoons. I love art in all its forms and have a hard time designing without some music {Daft Punk / Explosions in the Sky / mewithoutyou / Lupe Fiasco}.


When not in front of a desk, I can be found in line at the local Starbucks, playing Call of Duty, organizing my collection of Kidrobot toys, or watching really awful 80's movies with my beautiful wife Sarah and our two always-entertaining cats, Rilo & Kiley.


I solve problems, I work hard, and I do what I love for a living. There's really not much more fulfilling than that. So, how can I help you?
