Robert Ryan lives in Asbury Park, NJ where he has been
painting and tattooing for 20 years, taught in the classic traditional
American style of bold line, heavy shading and solid field of color. His
knowledge of Eastern Spirituality, Western Mysticism, and Amazonian
Shamanism are all distilled through the filter of this powerful folk
tattoo aesthetic. Robert's work has been featured in many galleries,
schools, and publications world wide. As a musician he has released
albums with the bands Lord Sterling, Out Like Lambs, and Harmonize Most
High as well as his solo effort American Cloud Songs. Continuing to take
many pilgrimages to India, Nepal and Peru, learning from Curanderos,
Sadhus, Tantrics, and Monks, his work has tapped into a hidden knowledge
which can only be passed down through the oral traditions and ancient
practices.
