Jay Ryan (artist)

Jay Ryan is an artist and rock musician. He is noted for his squirrel posters as well as being a bassist in the band Dianogah.

Based in the Ravenswood neighborhood of Chicago, Ryan produces limited run, hand-printed posters for rock bands and concerts, and for events such as art shows. Much of his work is screen printed at his studio, The Bird Machine. He has produced posters for the bands Shellac and the Flaming Lips; he is also responsible for the album art and track illustrations of Andrew Bird's The Mysterious Production of Eggs and Weather Systems.

In 2005 he published a book called "100 Posters, 134 Squirrels: A Decade of Hot Dogs, Large Mammals, and Independent Rock: The Handcrafted Art of Jay Ryan". He also provided the cover art for Michael Chabon's 2004 novel "The Final Solution" and publicity art for Chicago's 57th Street Art Fair.

Ryan had previously been a bassist for Braid, but left shortly after its formation. He then joined Hubcap before forming Dianogah.
