Animals and Objects In and Out of Water

Jay Ryan has been making screen-printed concert posters in Chicago since 1995. Known for his hand-drawn type, humorous animal subjects, and muted color selections, he has worked for thousands of rock bands, as well as clients like Patagonia clothing, Converse shoes, Burton Snowboards, and the BBC. His first book, "100 Posters, 134 Squirrels," published in 2005 on the Punk Planet imprint of Akashic Books, is now in its third printing.
