“I fear I have fallen for a certain internet monkey” - @bugboyriley
Oh Riley, I fear the whole Bright team has too!
Riley is an illustrator who grew up in Cleveland, Ohio. He attended Kent State University and received a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Visual Communications and Design. He has since traveled across the country from coast to coast working for various studios as an Illustrator in both the children’s book and greeting card industries. Riley’s work is fueled by his friends and family he has found in the LGBTQIA+ community, as well as his wide array of other passions including the wildlife around him, and good food. In his free time, you’ll probably find Riley tending to his indoor jungle or cooking up something in the kitchen.
