Medical Illustration Podcast - Ryan Kissinger interview

On this episode of the Medical Illustration podcast, I talk with Ryan Kissinger, an award-winning medical illustrator working at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases lab (NIAID) in Hamilton Montana.

Ryan graduated from the Biomedical Communications program at the University of Toronto–Mississauga in 2010. He has experience in a wide range of media including 3D animation and both traditional and digital illustration. In this conversation, Ryan shares some of what he’s learned from taking on a short film passion project, his experience working in traditional watercolour, and why Adobe Illustrator is his software tool of choice.

You can check out Ryan's work on his Instagram and on Vimeo
