RYAN ALVIS
How did you feel about winning Art vs. Art?
In a word, thrilled. Shocked, as well, but I was genuinely thrilled.
It seemed like an easy decision for you to put the winning painting up for auction and face the Wheel of Death. Why?
Yeah, it was a no brainer for me. Holding the giant novelty check, I felt like I'd already been rewarded enough, so the idea of losing the painting if it didn't sell was a moot point to me. Plus the audience clearly loves the wheel of death. You can't deprive them of one last shot at seeing something destroyed.
Where did you go to school? What did you study?
I went to the Columbus College of Art and Design in Columbus, OH. I majored in illustration there.
What’s your day job?
I work full time for Creative Street Media Group as an illustrator and graphic designer. Primarily, I pursue my illustration on a freelance basis.
What do you like to do in your spare time?
I have a two and four year-old, so most of my spare time is spent hanging out with them.
