About Me |
|
My name's Ryan; I make weird art and dabble with animation. Maybe you have seen my stuff somewhere. Maybe not: "Cocktator" pen/colored pencil; 2004 As you may already surmise, my work is sorta like if Salvador Dali inseminated Dr. Seuss and the embryo was subsequently implanted into Andy Warhol's womb. Once birthed, this supernatural post-fetal art being was then placed in the foster care of Robert Crumb and M.C. Escher, only to grow up on a steady diet of cartoons, badger milk, and soft-core pornography. Sometimes I incorporate puns and wordplay into the titles of my work (see above). In fact, I sign my work with "R. Thies" because when pronounced correctly, it sounds like ar-teest. Clever, huh? www.rthies.com 2008 Art Shows Jan. 18th - Feb. ??th: Jupiter House; Denton TX Jan. 20th - Mar. 2nd: Cartoonism solo show; Banter; Denton TX Feb. 29th: Ultra Arts Mix; Center for Visual Arts; Denton TX Mar. 15th - Apr. 13th: 50/50 group show; Soda Gallery; Dallas TX ------------- Curious about where I've shown my work before? Then check out the Exhibit Archive on my website for a complete list of shows, dating back to my first public exhibit in 2002. btw, I tweaked my cyber nipples with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4 |
