Ryder Ostrowski (he/they/ey) is a digital illustrator and cosplayer from Michigan. He’s always been intrigued by characters since he was little and focuses on that in his work. Bringing his own characters to life, he uses them to tell stories focusing around members of the LGBTQ+ Community. Doing this, he hopes to bring better representation to the storytelling scene. More of his recent works are inspired by the world of tattooing as well.
When not constantly working on illustrations or playing various video games, he’s found in the cosplay scene at several Midwest conventions. He became intrigued with the world of cosplay when introduced to it by a friend years ago, and he continues to be a part of that community. The characters that Ryder has cosplayed have helped him become more confident in his identity as a transgender individual and hopes to inspire others to do the same.
