Ryan Onorato was born and raised in a small town in Southern New Jersey where he spent a lot of time outdoors with his friends. At the age of 8, he found his passion for comics and cartoons, as well as telling a good story.
Ryan graduated from the Maryland Institute College of Art, (MICA) in Baltimore, where he received a BFA in illustration. Ryan's artwork has appeared in publications such as the B Free Daily(Baltimore Sun Media Group),Concrete Wave, 100% Skateboarding, Roctober, as well as on postcards for Habitat for Humanity- Chesapeake Area. Ryan has also produced storyboards for clients the Base Studio, along with Disney / Hollywood Records. His artwork is heavily influenced by the skate and surf cultures, as he will swear he was born on the wrong coast.
In his spare time, he enjoys surfing, skateboarding, exploring the great outdoors, his box turtle Bobby, and being complimented on having really cool handwriting, which oddly enough, did not construct this piece of writing.
