My name is Ryan Cox, and I am a wildlife artist based in Fort Worth, Texas.

My work is inspired by my lifelong obsession with animals, and wanting to learn as much as I can about them all. I was raised on a healthy diet of frequent trips to the zoo, and devouring the nature documentaries that aired Sunday nights on PBS.

I like to work very loosely and expressively using pen and ink as my preferred medium. Sketching and drawing with pen as opposed to pencil helps me be more confident in my decision making, instead of just noodling around and constantly erasing. With my loose, scribbly style, I aim to capture the essence and personality of the animal I’m drawing. My goal with my art isn’t just to remind people that these animals exist, but that they are intelligent, and that each has its own unique characteristics that make them totally different even from other members of the same species.
