Artist Ryan McPhail is the elusive boy from Dundee, who grew up with a love for comic books and graffiti that soon was translated into graphic arts. He attended Art School for four months but soon dropped out, choosing instead to travel the world with friends, taking inspiration from what he saw, rather than being taught. Ryan comes from the street world, but soon realised that graffiti could be translated onto canvas. Some of his designs have attracted the world of the Fashion and Music industries. Ryan is a very prolific artist, often pushing his own boundaries, developing his work at an unusually fast pace. Ryan McPhail who can be seen always backstage with the band The View, is actually the brain and pen behind the original artwork of their latest album. He is The View spray can superhero, the loveable rock’n roll boy of the art world.
