Artist / Illustrator / Animator
Represented by Bright Agency
Based in Washington DC, Ronan Lynam works as an illustrator contributing to advertising, editorial & retail projects. Ronan's work centers around his vivid and colorful style of illustration, capturing the tightness of crisp, graphic work while still retaining a hand-drawn feel with a splash of traditional media textures. Projects often focus around decorative illustrations for branding, conceptual editorial work, and various motion illustration projects. Cleverness, humor and movement play an important role in conceptualizing his illustrations.
Ronan maintains a passion project titled Photostrations, which is an ongoing series of drawings incorporated into photographs sourced from public domain / creative commons repositories.
Past clients include The Washington Post, New York Times, The Dogist, Threadless, STL’s Riverfront Times, Dallas Observer, Washington City Paper, NAKED Juice, the Salt Lake City Weekly, Tullamore D.E.W. Whiskey, The Cleveland Scene, The Muppets, Detroit's Metro Times, MTV, the comedy podcast Professor Blastoff, The Yetee, the Colorado Symphony, Portland's Willamette Week and many more.
