Hoods Up

Ryan Runcie is a first-generation American artist whose inspirations come from his study of philosophical beliefs and how our experiences can change how we view and value others and ourselves. His large-scale murals are heavily community focused with the intent to leave behind social and racial reconciliation in his wake. He graduated from Texas State University with his Bachelor of Fine Arts in 2016 and has been through various art business workshops. At Texas State University, he studied communication design while developing his vibrant painting style and building custom skateboards under TanMan Longboards.
He now has many private works collected across the United States and public murals completed in multiple cities in Texas. His client list includes Austin FC, The Moody Center, Starbucks, The City of San Marcos, Capital Metro, Austin Energy, Rhodesrunna Productions Inc, Riversouth Austin, eBay, Abbott Laboratories, Bennu Coffee, George Washington Carver Museum, and multiple non-profit organizations.
Runcie is currently a project coordinator for the City of Austin's Art in Public Places, a board member of Capitol View Arts, an East Austin non-profit, and a Big Medium Programming Committee member.
