Nice to meet you! My name is Ryan Bear. I currently reside in Portland, OR with my wife, son, dog, rabbit and varies arthropod companions. I’m a visual storyteller with a focus on writing and illustrating picture books. I have an endless passion for pollinators and can be found out documenting the local native populations of bees. I shamelessly cry during kids movies. I’m a big fan of middle grade graphic novels when I’m not delving into picture books. I’m a sucker for taking care of animals. Board games rule. Being in nature balances me out and is my families happy place.
