I'm a comic artist, capable of both writing and illustrating comic books. I'm also quite skillful when it comes to visual storytelling, storyboards and concept art. My writing style is chiefly focused on biography and documentary, which empowers me to be a great ghost writer as well. My educational background is in painting and visual arts. Early on, I started my career as a painter and later on, I became an editorial cartoonist for various magazines and press. I have two published graphic novels (and an upcoming third one) with "Éditions çà et là" (Paris, France). * Knows drawing by hand as well as water colour, acrylic and oil painting techniques * Knows Digital paint, Photoshop, Procreate

I'm a comic artist & illustrator with over 10 years of freelance experience and a deep portfolio in print, digital, and book design, based in London, Ontario, Canada (EST timezone). See my work at RyanCassidy.site Highlights: - written and illustrated over 160 contract weekly comic strips - 5 comics and illustration publication credits in 2025 - art instructor with 2 years experience - recipient of Ontario Arts Council Grant in 2019 Skills: I use photoshop, illustrator, indesign, procreate (+ dreams), and zbrush mostly. My second languages are CSS, HTML, and Québecois French. I can paint, draw, and sculpt realistically using traditional materials and digital tools. I have self-published and sold hundreds of books online and at tabling events. Soft skills: I'm a super-creative out-of-the box thinker who learns new skills quickly. I have a healthy sense of humour and strong writer's brain. I am communicative and expressive person with a strong facility for critical evaluation and collaborative design. Despite the tone of the last few declaratives, I am a somewhat humble, self-effacing, and chill person. Job fit: I'm actively seeking work in illustration, graphic design, content creation, and anything to do with comics (writing/artwork/editing/consultation). I am not here just to make money (I have a regular job teaching art classes). I'm here to find projects that are interesting, challenging, meaningful, and unordinary. Everything is better when you genuinely care about your work, and I'm looking to collaborate with like-minded folk who understand this implicitly. This also means I won't do AI stuff. Feel free to drop me a message if you want to work together or if you have any questions at all.
