Growing up in New Jersey, Bryan Bruchman handed out business cards with the title "Future comic book artist" printed under his name. In high school he borrowed his father's Minolta SR-T and VH-C cameras, took photography classes at a local college's summer program, and decided that trying new filters was just as exciting as drawing superheroes.

In 2002 Bryan received his BFA in Film and Television Production from New York University, where he also racked up enough classes for a minor in Computer Science. After college he worked for an independent documentary production company in New York; he then became a full-time web developer for an educational non-profit and other commercial clients.

Now living in Maine, Bryan does freelance web design and programming from his home office, only getting up to make more coffee and pat the cats. In his spare time he manages the Ruined Music website, makes custom 1" pins for clients and friends, designs posters for rock shows, and fills his sketchbook with drawings.
