Howdy, guys and gals!
My name is Ryan Alexander, and I gladly welcome you to my glorious dA page of all-over 'toonyness.
I am a man of many ambitions - I'm an eclectic music nut who collects those giant foot-long plastic biscuits that all you old-timers call "records" (and I'm a cuh-razy budget audiophile who's got thousands of LPs in my collection - my popular YouTube presence has been dedicated mainly to vinyl uploading for the past half-decade!), and I dream of being a musician and record store owner some day. I'm also interested in analogue audio, computer programming, and....of course, the reason why we're all here on dA....the Arts.
I joined dA in late 2012 to start fulfilling my newfound talents as a cartoon artist, and have since then started to become one of the craziest Animaniacs fans in my neck of the woods - that's what most of my gallery is all about. Drawing is one of my all-time favourite hobbies these days, and I'm always striving for improvement in my work, so if you have any constructive feedback or suggestions about my art then don't hesitate sharing it with me.
Thanks for taking the time to drop by!
Ryan Alexander

Happy Birthday, Ryan!
Wherever you are, I want to tell you thanks for being such a good friend.
Happy New Year's Day, too ,by the way!
I miss you, bud! Come back!

Yo, buddy...
You still alive? I'd hate to see you go. :c
I haven't managed to get ahold of you anywwhere I follow you on, and I'm starting to get worried.
I'm starting to wonder if you LITERALLY died or something. D:
If you're still here, and you see this, please DO talk to me! I'm worried sick!
I haven't seen you in nearly a year, so you better DAMN WELL believe I'm concerned! You've always been there for me, and I want to be here for you, and I want to do it NOW! Don't go dying on me!Β
Honestly, I think you leaving or just disappearing would be a huge blow to me once I found out what happened. It would be a blow I don't know if I could get over, and that's not me trying to make you feel guilty, that's me being as honest as I can.
I may have gotten over some of my previous hard times, but I don't know about me losing you.Β
I miss you, man!

Heya, Ryan! It's Yakko! I wanted to let you know that I've gotten a lot more, shall I say, forthright with romance since I broke up with my last girlfriend, who shall not be named.
Now, I have two! Their names are Aubrey and Daela.
But wait, you scream at me as you jump in shock!
Aren't you a Christian? Isn't polygamy wrong?
Well, my friend, I have to tell you something that might shock you.
I am indeed Christian, but I'm not just any denomination, I'm a Mormon!
And since polygamy is perfectly okay there, I'm fine!
In fact, I'm kinda surprised Dot doesn't have another boyfriend to love along with you!Β
I don't know if she's polygamous or not, I never asked her and she seems a bit new to the idea for me, so I'll just avoid asking her about it until she's more comfortable.
Anyways, I think this message has gone on long enough.

Thank you for the good wishes JCS. I miss your good spirits.

Thank you.
You know.... because I use the DA app on my phone, getting comment notifications indirectly leads me to generating new artistic ideas because of how I end up browsing afterwards.
So there's that!

Hi Remmy! How's things?

Foin, how have you been?
π: 0 β©: 1
Not been very active but I have the DA app on my phone so know whenever old friends like you want to keep in touch with me.
As for my personal life... I've been doing quite well myself.

Wakko Universe (A/S.U. Cosplay Project)Ok, new project for fun! So, I've been thinking about this for a while now, and since I now have Spring Break and I've got some time in my hands, I've decided to draw Animaniacs official and OC characters cosplaying as Steven Universe characters! I can draw more than one Animnaics OC as a SU character.

Funny thing is I can't see the link to your journal on my phone, it's just a blank comment. Shows the limitations of the DA app doesn't it?

I did link this using the DA app. Lemme try again:Β Wakko Universe (A/S.U. Cosplay Project)

Many thanks. It especially means a lot, coming from you!

It feels a little like a family dinner, if you will.... in this sense: I may only pay brief visits once in a blue moon, but when I do, I let it all hang out and simply admire everything good there is to see around here.
And let me just say that the artistic improvement I've seen in your work after my having not been around for so long.........it puts a smile on my face. It's surrounding myself with expressive art like this that gives me incentive to study and improve.

Did you see the pic of Wakko eating a Sega CD?

You have disturbed the beast's long, peaceful slumber....
In any case, I'm not dead! Just celebrated Canada 150 in style.... sort of.
More than ever before, life has changed a LOT, and I recently went through a stressful move. OK - maybe those seem like ridiculous excuses by now, but attending to DA has seriously lessened in priority over the past half year. Even so, I haven't forgotten about any of my friends, and I will certainly stop by to post some art once in a while. I can't promise when...

Well I'm glad you're doing well in life! C:
By the way, did you ever start college yet? Or is that what you've been busy with?
π: 0 β©: 0
Barely!
While I don't come by here very often now, I haven't forgotten about you and I still think of something Animaniacs-related every day.

8D you should get a Discord account so we can chat more often! I miss talking to you. :c also you should meet micomputertech , he's a new friend of mine from Michigan who also collects records! He collects Beatles bootlegs xD I think you and him will get along great c: (Also he has epilepsy so don't sent him anything flashy D: )
my Discord tag and username are on my dA profile if you didn't see.Β
I missed you though! Glad to see you're still around c:

Sounds like a cool guy - would definitely like to get in touch with him!
Oddly enough, I was actually in Michigan once to catch the last days of an Andy Warhol album cover exhibit. Very fun.
I can't promise that I'll be able to get the chance to speak to you *very* frequently - but I just looked at Discord now and it looks attractive in general. Now I sort of want to sign up for it!

I can't wait for you to get it set up 8D But he is a cool guy c:Β
I understand that you're busy though, you probably have to work or gather money for college.
