Aw man, it’s here, the season finale of the Walking Dead!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Here’s a fun little photo I tweaked out in P-shop to make it a bit more dramatic ;) Happy Zombie Night! I’ve uploaded this a bit juicier so you can download it as your wallpaper. Taste the blood!

SPRING SALE & LOWERED PRICES!

ryanroberts@gmail.com — 2012-03-01T19:23:22-06:00

It’s 2012, there’s only so much time before the zombies eat your wallets or something horrific. So I’ve lowered my prices on all of my prints and decided to have a month long sale in honor of the robins and blooming buds.
Use code: SPRINGBIRDS2012 for an additional 33% off.

Earth Movement: San Fran

ryanroberts@gmail.com — 2012-03-01T19:18:30-06:00

I was so fortunate to be asked to be part of a art fundraising show called Earth Movement in San Fran this March at Kokoro Studio! The shows centers on the forces of nature and features a who’s-who of toy designers in collaborations with young emerging artists and a few special guests including Gary Baseman, Luke Chueh and myself to name a few.
The show will be raising money and remembering the 1 year anniversary of the Japanese tsunami of 2011.

I did a whole play on the Japanese 5 Elements. A somewhat loose interpretation to say the least ;)

Spirits of the Mountain

So I’ve been meaning to put this post up for a while now. I’ve been Michael McDonald’n as I Keep Forget’n... Anyways, my great bud Jeremy Brautman from Jeremyriad.com brought a print of mine to Bigfoot’s show a few months back titled, Spirits of the Mountain, where debuted his cool new Fujisan figures. We gave him a copy to keep and he signed copies for me and Jeremy. So very, very cool.

100 Problems

In honor of Black History month I’ve finished up this new farce. It’s my play on Jay Z’s, 99 Problems. This dude’s lady is definitely his 100th problem!

Swingers On A Train

ryanroberts@gmail.com — 2011-12-31T01:33:21-06:00

If Hitchcock and Jim Henson and Charles Schulz were alive today, I’m sure I’d be getting a letter! I kinda couldn’t resist it. Kermit just kills it for me. This is a b-side of a black and white photo I took entitled Strangers On A Train.

2012 Calendar!

ryanroberts@gmail.com — 2011-10-15T12:53:48-05:00

Don’t freak out... but 2012 is almost here! If you ever needed a calendar, this is the year!! Time to see what so many ancient cultures and religions saw coming in THE FUTURE!! I looked into the future and saw lots of people farting. Go pick this up in my shop!

Jokes...

ryanroberts@gmail.com — 2011-10-15T12:27:05-05:00

A bit simple, but this is the first funny toy photo I took back in 2007. This was before I even owned a vinyl art toy. I have a part two photo for this planned where Optimus and the cyber woman in the photo are standing over three half robot, half human babies. Optimus stands there denying they’re his. Should be classic. A lot of my older work ought to make for great filler when I finally release my in depth coffee table book.

Spies Remix Video!!!!

ryanroberts@gmail.com — 2011-07-22T13:17:07-05:00

Check it out. This is a stop-motion animation video I made for a song I helped write for a band I was in in Chicago called Readysuits. The song is called Spies. I then remixed the song and had a friend of mine, Christian Hage, add all the tight special effects. You can hear more Readysuits at: myspace.com/ readysuits/

Song: Spies (remix) Artist: Readysuits from Ryan Roberts on Vimeo.

It's A Trap

The Hair, It Talks To Me...

ryanroberts@gmail.com — 2011-06-23T22:14:49-05:00

So here’s a lil’ treat for ya’s... This is what I would call a B-side photo of a Bigfoot photo I recently took. You’ll have to wait a while for the Bigfoot image but I thought you might enjoy this. It’s kind of hard to see but he’s selecting a hair cut from a book. It’s titled, “Number 49... Wonderful Choice.” If you look real close you can see them holding scissors.

Mmm... Tastes like summer

ryanroberts@gmail.com — 2011-04-14T23:15:38-05:00

Alright, time is passing me by and I’ve got to get rollin’. I’ve got so many new ideas and toys to shoot. It’s time to start crankin’ it up and out. Hit me up if you have any ideas for toys photos or any weird ideas in general. About this photo, I own this blue robot. Trying to sell him axchually. My birthday’s coming up... um.... would love those Daft Punk figures! (Photo: Daniel & Geo Fuchs)

Hey friends, Hey world,

The new site is up! Still making tweaks but it’s almost there. That said, I’ve been hella-busy in Nashville since moving here from Chicago last July, 2010. Tons of new photos and new videos. The videos are turning out great. So yeah, things are looking up. I should have some tasty new merch to purch on the shop page soon. As well as brand new 3D photos.
