Ryan Goes to SCAD

I've been accepted to Ringling.............. but not for computer animation

After a few hours of mourning, I've gotten over it. Really. I haven't given SCAD enough credit, and upon looking into the school, i am genuinely excited to go.

This is also a good wake up call, and should lure me out of a sense of complacency. I can't expect to have things handed to me. I am also learning that I need to start working now, and not just think about starting later. If I started working my hardest a year, even six months ago, my portfolio would have been much, much stronger.

So, I'll work hard at SCAD, hopefully I'll love it, and above all I'll trust that God's plan is better than my own.

Ryan Goes Commercial?

You can now consider me a Commercial Actor...
if you count being in a charity commercial that only airs in a movie theater.

Still... there was like totally a green screen behind me!

Ryan Goes to Mexico?

I am currently undergoing "due process of mustache" in preparation for my trip to Mexico this April. The tingling sensation of my upper lip is a good distraction while waiting for a response from Ringling...

PS. Finished FAFSA (Financial Aid) this weekend and finally sent that portfolio to SCAD.

My High School portfolio

An accumulation of this year's work. Includes my first large "canvas" digital pieces other experimentation. These 10 pieces were sent to SCAD and Ringling...
(actually i have procrastinated with SCAD, hope I'm not too late!)
