Ryan's father, Walter Medeiros was a renowned 1960s rock poster collector, scholar and close associate with the artists of the psychedelic scene. Upon his father's passing in 2016, Ryan inherited a vast collection of 1960s rock posters, magazines, extensive writing, and Sixties visual ephemera. Ryan is now working to catalog and promote Walter's interests and writing. In order to share some choice items with the world, Ryan started an online store called Posterdelic in 2019.

Fine Art & Screen Printing

Since 2020 Ryan has embarked on a new Fine Art journey, creating multi-media panels and prints on paper. These layered pieces combine a variety of techniques including drawing, watercolor, spray paint and screen printed ink. The imagery is mainly pop inspired by the visual styles of his childhood in the Late 1970s and 80s. Themes of the cold war, fashion and technology overlap in surprising and improvisational ways to reveal meaning.
