Hiya I’m Rye (aka Rubberguy), an illustrator/cartoonist/multimedia artist.

Drawing is my lifeblood, and if I stop then I will die. I love lost media, internet mysteries, vintage campers, and a ton of media from the 1960s-1990s.

My cool backstory: I was born the son of an art director and a retired production assistant in the middle-class suburbs of Detroit. I no longer live in Detroit.

I have a wide, welcoming jawline.

I’m also this DRAGON, my "fursona"
