About Ryan...
Ryan Rhoads is an accomplished artist and award winning designer and has been doing Caricatures professionally for the last 16 years. He started his career working for Kaman’s Art Shoppes (www.kamansart.com) out of Dorney Park, Allentown, PA in 1992 while attending design school at Carnegie Mellon University. During the Summer of 1996, he opened a stand in a shopping district on Long Beach Island’s popular Beach Haven. After two successful Summers he sold the business to an associate and graduated from school with a BFA in Design. Throughout the following years he traveled and taught Art and Design at Georgia Tech and CMU while simultaneously doing caricatures with Atlanta’s most famous caricature artists Kourosh and Patrick with (creativecaricatures.com). Upon moving back to the Northeast in 2002 he teamed up with Bruce Blitz (bruceblitz.com), host of the Emmy Nominated TV Series and owner of a number of popular caricature stands in the Phillies Stadium and minor league baseball stadiums around the metro area.
Since then, Ryan and his family have relocated to Florida in order to further his career and find a climate that would allow him to draw caricatures uninterrupted all year long. You can find him at many festivals, tradeshows, corporate events, and private parties “drawing a crowd ”. He is making a name for himself as one of the most reliable, talented and enthusiastic caricature artist in the industry. He travels throughout the US and Caribbean for events. Please feel free to check up on him on his blog and make sure he's not having too much fun.
Caricatures by Ryan also features other Orlando-based artists and can supply any number of artists for your event!
