Ryan Jacque

Ryan Jacque is the best pencil artist of his time, rendering wildlife and portraiture that is literally astonishing. The unique goal of his web site design was simple: highlight his work, and get out of the way.

It’s easy to over-design a web site. But in the case of Ryan’s site, any web site element that attracted attention away from the work on display was a negative. The site design needed simply to fade away, like a frame around the artwork in any museum. There, but unnoticed. Since Ryan’s work is in pencil, even color itself became an especially visible design element. It’s a very simple, very small site, but it does the job it was built to do exceptionally well.

Often mistaken for exquisite photography, Ryan Jacque’s art is second-to-none. His wildlife art and portraits must be seen to be believed.
