A Decade of Worlds
Since Sphinx's Disciple in Born of the Gods, 2014: more than sixty published cards across a decade of collaboration with Wizards of the Coast — spanning constructed-format staples, planeswalkers, and world-building concept work across Amonkhet, Zendikar, and beyond. Culminating in a dedicated Secret Lair Artist Series: four cards, one complete narrative arc.
Wizards of the Coast invites select artists to conceive, curate, and narrate their own Secret Lair drop — choosing the cards, creating the art, and writing the connective story. In Wizards' own words: "Ryan is known for telling stories with his art."
A selection of published illustrations across a decade of sets — from Born of the Gods in 2014 onward. Spanning constructed-format staples, planeswalkers, creatures, spells, and token art across multiple planes and story arcs.
Beyond published card illustration, early-stage concept and world-building work contributed to the visual development of Amonkhet and Zendikar — Eternals, deity designs, headdress class systems, and environmental exploration, developed during on-site art sprints at Wizards' Renton studio.
