Jay Ryan Biography:
Jay is represented in Germany by Feinkunst Krueger Gallery in Hamburg, and is represented in the U.K. by Richard Goodall Gallery in Manchester. The Bird Machine: The Bird Machine was started in Chicago in 1998 by Jay Ryan, as a tiny garage sale of a print shop geared towards screen printing posters, which Jay designed for his band and other small bands. Jay had learned to screen print at the legendary Screwball Press under the watchful and never-blinking eye of Steve Walters beginning in 1995. During the period from '96 through '98, Jay worked at Screwball, printing other people's designs and designing and printing his own unique hand-drawn posters for bands such as Shellac, Fugazi, Stereolab, Hum, Seam, June of 44, and his own band, Dianogah. |
