Extra Credit

We were told to write about a photographer or artist as extra credit.. Well the particular artist I would like to focus on is Chris Ryniak.
Unfortunately, There really isn't even much about him on the web. In fact, he's not even on Wikipedia. But I did repeatedly find a little bit about him, about 3 paragraphs. So. Let's get started shall we?
Chris Ryniak was born in 1976 in the Detroit suburbs. As a child he spent every Saturday morning watching the Saturday Morning Cartoons and when he wasn't doing that, usually he was turning over numerous rocks and such in search of insects, reptiles, and ghosts.
As a graduate and former instructor of the Ringling School of Art and Design, he's now a painter and sculptor of all kinds of odd little creatures. His work has been exhibited in galleries through the entire US as well as Hamburg, Germany and Rome, Italy. In the US, his odd little creations showed up in Miami, LA, and New York. His paintings have also been published in many periodicals and various books in the US, As well as Singapore and Europe.
Now days, Chris resides in nice coastal Ohio Dutch Colonial with his two children, his wife, a lizard, a frog, and a cat. Though he still has yet to find any ghosts.
As for my personal opinion on his work; His creations are very bizarre and creative. They seem to have a pretty inspirational effect as well. I personally love his sculptures. The detail is astounding and the exotic blend of reality and cartoon like design on these creatures of his are just amazing.
I would like to invite you, to see these pieces for yourself. Simply click this link here... Be sure to check out all of the gallery. The New, The Old, and The Dimensional.
(The Dimensional works are probably my favorite.)

Quite sadly this is all I could obtain on this particular artist at the time, but I do thank you for reading.
