I was a VIP sketchbook artist for Zenescope Comics and, so far, have been published in five pin-up magazines. I have published my own books, The Wicked Wabbit #0 and #1. And I am the cover artist for multiple indies, including Power Hour, Black ops publishing, Merc publishing, clan McDonald comics Hardley Thinn , Werewolves of Brooklyn, Bunny Goes to Space, Bridgeport Chronicles, Cavewoman, Vampires of New Jersey, Goldilocks in Zombieland, Squirrel, Witches of West Chesterfield, and Naughty Faeries.

I have been legally blind since birth, but that has never kept me from achieving my goals. My high school art portfolio was ranked in the Top Ten for New England in 1984, and I have continued to work hard ever since. For the majority of artists, they stand back from the canvas and conceive their creation. My whole world exists only an inch or two from the paper as I peer through a magnifying glass to create. This is my comfort zone, and it locks me into my own world to bring my thoughts and inspirations to life.

Come join me on this journey and explore Low Vision Studio. I hope one of my creations will motivate you to accomplish your goals and overcome the barriers that stand in your way!

Ryan Miller paints vibrant watercolor illustrations and also works digitally for creating concept art. When he’s not drawing robots, he’s drawing Dinosaurs that turn into robots for his original IP, TITANOMACHY.

The thrill of those dynamic panels and vibrant stories left me ravenous for more. I honed my skills by emulating masters like Perez, Byrne, and Starlin, setting my sights on a career in comics.

My break came with background work for John Beatty, followed by inking Ben Edlund’s iconic Tick. I immersed myself in the worlds of Street Fighter, the Ultraverse (Prime, UltraForce, you name it!), Wetworks, and even dabbled in World of Warcraft.

Yet, a hunger for greater creative control burned within me. Thus, in 1997, I birthed Durendal Comics and unleashed my passion project, Shanghai. This gritty adventure was entirely my own – writing, art, lettering, colors – a true labor of love. Brick House Digital emerged as I took a bold leap into digital art, making Shanghai one of the first fully-rendered comics. Legendary artists like Schuler, Hoover, Perez, and Royle even graced my covers!

After a sabbatical, Extraterrestrial marked my return. The next chapter awaits – stay tuned!
