About

I grew up in the 80s (Yes, I'm old, I get it) and was influenced by everything in that decade, toys, movies, cartoons, magazines and more. I really wanted to become a Disney Imagineer and even tried and massively failed at building the Jungle Cruise ride in my parent's backyard using a flat piece of plywood as the boat and digging a moat. I could imagine it in my mind.

When the first Macintosh computer came out and my family got one, that changed everything. I started to draw in MacPaint and then eventually learned how to animate using MacroMind Videoworks which later became Director and was purchased by Adobe.

Eventually I went to school for graphic design then started an internship at a newspaper in the graphics department where I started using MacroMedia Freehand to draw graphics. Adobe bought Freehand which later had it's features integrated into Adobe Illustrator. I use most of the Adobe products now for design, animation, motion graphics and video editing.

I've occasionally create music which can be listened to here: RYANPOORE.com
