Ames received a B.A. in Media Studies and Studio Art from WCSU in 2014 before moving to the San Francisco Bay Area to work with educational gaming platforms and branding design teams. He returned to WCSU to accomplish his MFA in Illustration and continue in logo and editorial commissions. Past works such as his \u201cHindsight: series, depicting the heartbreak of children lost to gun violence around the world, break from his digital mold, using unconventional painting process with stenciling and acrylics. Ames\u2019 artistic passion is editorial illustration, mixing conceptual design and symbolic language to encapsulate a story and educate the viewer in both familiar and new subjects. He is proud to have taken the recent opportunity to give back and help design the new mascot logo for Westconn\u2019s Wolves, being a part of the new phase of his alma mater.<\/p>\n<p><u><a href=\"https:\/\/nam11.safelinks.protection.outlook.com\/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amesillustration.com%2F&amp;data=05%7C02%7Crobeaul%40wcsu.edu%7C7df593df47694db91bc508dccc42196d%7Ce1622dbc94ba48ad87bba7f28074ee3d%7C0%7C0%7C638609831519098843%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&amp;sdata=3FjQwh36XUJ6CbK3Hrm%2BDP%2FJGr73OwH7JVQJMot%2Fzh8%3D&amp;reserved=0\">www.amesillustration.com<\/a><\/u><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MFA Western Connecticut\u00a0State University View CV Adjunct Professor Graphic Design\/Illustration Contact amesr@wcsu.edu A Connecticut native, Ryan Ames is an illustrator and designer who has worked on digital projects across the country.
