Wednesday, November 29, 2017 at 12:56PM Please note that due to illness and missing books, my FATALES signing scheduled for Friday December 1st at Pulp Fiction Books is cancelled.
Please find information below for my other Vancouver signing: Friday, December 8th at Lucky's Comics
Tuesday, November 7, 2017 at 06:48PM My comprehensive monograph, "FATALES", published by Cernunnos has finally been released into the wild! Beautifully printed in Italy, weighing in at 288 pages and 9" x 12" in size, this volume represents where my art has come from and where it is headed. From pulp-inspired monstosities to femme fatales to explorations into darker dream-like imagery, only what I consider my best works have been included here. Introduction by artist Fred Stonehouse, and an in-depth interview by award-winning art director and creator of BLAB!, Monte Beauchamp.
I will be announcing signings in the near future, as well as a local book launch here in Vancouver, B.C.
The book can be purchased online at:
Amazon.com (or try your own regional branch of Amazon if international)
Or, ask for it at (and support) your local book seller.
Thank you!

Tuesday, June 20, 2017 at 05:58PM I am pleased to say that the design work has been completed on my upcoming monograph, FATALES: The Art of Ryan Heshka.
Set for a Fall 2017 release, this 282 page hardcover book spans my personal art from 2004 to the present. Heavily edited to include only the best quality paintings and images, it represents what I consider to be the first phase of my personal art career.
Published by Cernunnos books (an imprint of Simon and Shuster), edited by Rodolphe Lachat and beautifully designed by Benjamin Brard. Introduction by Fred Stonehouse and interview by Monte Beauchamp (of BLAB!). This volume is set to be a major milestone in my career.
Watch for further news regarding the exact release date, previews, and signings.
Monday, February 6, 2017 at 02:18PM I have had some inquiries about when and where my next exhibition will be. Due to the following three very large ongoing projects (and a baby), I am on leave from painting for any shows at the moment:
-painting a series of large format paintings for private collectors that will be exhibited at a later date
-working on a graphic novel-length follow up to the "Mean Girls Club" comic (which will also be published by Nobrow, UK)
-compiling images and essays for the first comprehensive monograph of my personal work (2005 to present), set for release in the Fall of 2017
I will be updating this site with new images, and for more immediate news and images, please check out my Instagram page (@ryanheshka). Thank you.
