Ryan Alexander: K is for Killblor

Killblor? Whatever. Ryan Alexander’s delightfully eclectic sketches are back online at onecm.com after a hiatus. His work might easily be the closest thing computational design has to Steven Heller’s "Cult of the Ugly", full of things that exists just because they do.

Titled “Haha you thought it was drawings”, his collection of computational sketches display a playfulness that would make Ed Fella proud, combined with elegant yet eccentric motion. Be sure to check out his sketched artwork as well to see how he executes the same visual ideas in code, by pen or whatever comes in handy. Ryan worked for a while at Motion Theory, a LA-based motion design company who have used custom software solutions (often done in Processing) for a number of motion pieces for groups like R.E.M., Papa Roach etc. Now he’s at Hello Logan, a seriously great outfit co-founded by mad Russian genius Alexei Tylevich.
