I’m a Character Designer and Animator born in the sunny and friendly country of Spain. I started developing my career working as a freelance illustrator for several companies, advertising agencies and publishing houses such as Penguin Random House, McGraw Hill, SM, Vaughan, etc. Among other jobs, I was responsible of illustrating the trilogy of middle-grade action bestsellers «Total Jurassic». Now I work as Animation Teacher at U-Tad, ESDIP Escuela de Arte (Madrid, Spain) and Art and Animation Supervisor in its associated production company, ESDIP Animation Studio. My experience has led me to work as production artist in several short films, and animator in studios like Headless Animation or MonkeyToons.

Ryan loves his job because he gets to draw every day. The role of an FX artist is to be a supporting actor to the narrative and characters. Helping anchor the characters and action to the environment. Adding a little life to a background with ripples or blowing snow. All of these elements he adds accentuate actions and help depict the environment that the characters are in.

"I am a 2D rigging artist situated in Manchester, UK. I've been very fortunate to have been in the industry for eight years, working on amazing animated shows for studios like Brown Bag Films, Fourth Wall and Factory Create. In my first job in the industry, I was lucky to collaborate with the rigging department and became interested in knowing how to rig a character or prop in Toon Boom. Since then, I have learnt more about my craft, and I get inspired by other riggers who push 2D rigging to its fullest potential. The thing I enjoy the most about being a 2D rigging artist is seeing the rigs I make being brought to life by animators. It still always baffles my mind. I aspire to develop my 2D rigging skills further to teach students how to rig in Toon Boom Harmony. "
