Patterns

Posted on June 10, 2011 by TomRyansStudio

©2011 Tom RyanSo, if you’re following me on Facebook, you have seen some custom designed patterns I have been working on for the last part of the year.  I started creating them way back in the late part of 2009 when I started on a collaboration with Atlanta GA’s own, Una Mica, for a chair project.  Which in 2010 became our famous Pillow Project.   Since then I just started making them for fun.  Most of them seen are just alterations or color variances of a particular design.

You can view samples of the patterns below. Along with test images of a new project I am working on.  Heavily influenced by the success of the pillow project I decided to go back to the root of the original concept of it, which was to reupholster a chair with a custom printed fabric.  Continue reading →

Custom iPod Docking Station!?

Posted on May 23, 2011 by TomRyansStudio

My own custom made iPod Stereo Dock!  A few months ago I came up with this idea, of taking something old and making it new.  It came to me one random day of store jumping, from Target to a thrift store.  Walking down the electronic isles of both of these places I saw new and old design which undoubtedly got my imagination going.

2011 Cannes Film Festival

Posted on May 12, 2011 by TomRyansStudio

So just this past week, I was asked to create a movie poster mock up for the Festival de Cannes. Which if you don’t know is a HUGE film festival in France.  The film’s title is “Canned Heat, A Rage in the Cage”  and is being made by a German based film company, Digidreams Studio’s.

The job required a lone man, beat up and bruised looking up towards a flag bearing the undergrounds fight club logo, a red skull, in victory.  As seen here —->
The actors to appear in this film are Tom Savini, Kane Hodder, Claude-Olvier Rudolph, and Michael Madsen, directed by Oliver Krekel.

The film from my understanding is like Rocky meets Bloodsport.  A fighter’s brother gets killed in an underground fighting circle and eventually starts his journey to seek revenge.  It seems like it’ll be a rock em stomp movie, the first of its genre to be shot in 3-D.  I also just found this teaser for the movie:

Quick Update…

Posted on April 20, 2011 by TomRyansStudio

Hey everyone! Well its been awhile, I was away in California for a bit and then came back to CT to the harsh cold spring that we get here. But Im back now, and while this is just a quick update, I will come back and give a more detailed catalog of the on goings of my life. That and some up and coming shows Ill be a part of. But I have one I want to tell you all about right now.

And that is this show, Art for AIDS, Its a great event that I took part in last year and jumped at the chance to be a part of it again this year.  Each artist donates 1-3 12×12 canvas’s which will be raffled off on the opening night.  To get tickets to the event you can go to the website. The ticket is your key to get a raffle ticket.  Once there and your number is called you get to pick out of any of the 12×12 canvas’s. And you get that piece of art to bring home and enjoy for the rest of time!  Its a great way to get some original art and youre helping out with  a great cause at the same time!

Whats even better is that for every 12×12 an artist submits, they can submit one of their own pieces which will be up for sale, with proceedings going towards the benefit! Its a win win for all!  So if youre in the CT area Saturday June 11th come on down to ArtSpace in Hartford.  Or if you have any questions please visit the website at: http://www.ctaidscoalition.org
