It's been a good press week over here at Berkley headquarters (aka, our house). Ryan is thrice featured in the printed form.
Example A is this week's cover of the Portland Mercury:
Massive thanks to the always delightful and recently de-bearded Justin Morrison for the art editing.
[Pssst: Prints of the original image are available via Monsieur T right here!]
Example B is his illustration acknowledged in the 2009 Communication Arts Design Annual:
You may recall this Sherry project Ryan did with Creature Design in Seattle. If you haven't checked out the mysteries that await you on the Secret Sherry Society website for this, do it now. It's still awesome.
Example C came as a surprise to us via our eagle eyed friends and fans of Country Living magazine:
The cover image has been edited to suit vegan Thanksgiving eyes. [That also reminds me that I need to start thinking of a fun new vegan Thanksgiving food item for this year.] Country Living featured the Urban Outfitters version of our goat which, at this time, looks to be sold out. Plenty of goats are still to be found in our Etsy shop, though you'll have to find your own snazzy oval frame and, as I write this, the Cheetah is still available from Urban. Rumor has it (and I am starting the rumor right now) that a few more animals will be making their way into oval Urban Outfitters frames soon.
Another rumor I would like to start: a new animal vote will be coming tomorrow so put on your zoological thinking caps! (I'm such a gossip.)
I first found ya'll at Urban and both pieces have a home in my bedroom. (Funny because I seldom shop there and those furry friends are the only thing that I bought there) I was giddy with excitement when I saw the piece in Country Living. It felt cool to have "discovered" something and someone before they did.
Keep up the good work and I see many more Press Bonanzas in your future!

You are also featured in Oprah Magazine's December Issue! Just saw it today. I would be happy to send a scan if you haven't seen it yet. Congrats on all the great press!
