Welcome to My Accidentally Created Universe!

“Learn from the Past,
Seize the Present,
Prepare for the Future,
Listen to your Heart,
And ALWAYS follow your Dreams!”
- Ryan Poirier

Hello there, and a warm welcome to my portfolio! I'm Ryan Poirier, the creative force behind Accidental Creations. This is where my imagination comes to play, and I'm thrilled to share it with you.

As an indie graphic novel artist and author, each page I create is a piece of my heart and soul. From the whimsical worlds of "The Herd" and "Farm Freaks" to the intricate details of my freelance projects, every stroke of the pen tells a story. I believe in the power of visual storytelling to transport, inspire, and connect us all. I’m also a strong believer in following your dreams, telling your story, and finding your purpose! Anyone can find their Accidental Creation!

Here, you'll find a curated collection of my work – a mosaic of bold lines, vibrant colors, and narratives that dance off the page. Whether you're here to explore my published works, delve into my freelance ventures, or just to satisfy your curiosity, I hope you find something that speaks to you.

Dive in, explore, and let's embark on this visual journey together. I'm glad you're here, and I can't wait to share my world with you.

Happy browsing!

Connor the Pig is the World's ONLY Flying Pig...yet no one has ever actually seen him fly...

Hannah the Cat was raised in a zoo by Capuchin monkeys - so acts more like a monkey than a cat. She's also Curdled's girlfriend, so it's....awkward....

Haggis the Sheep has a hair trigger of a temper and grows steel wool... so cannot be sheared.

Scrambled the Chicken lays explosive eggs!

Moose claims to be the elusive Jackalope, but he's really just a rabbit with antlers on a headband that he uses as golf clubs.

Yuri the Rat is Boris' assistant keeping a vigil eye on the goings on around the farm; always looking to RAT on someone!

The OG AC - The Original Accidental Creations website I designed after college many a year ago! It was created in FLASH, and was an interactive tour through my combined story universes. Had a lot of animation and interactivity.

The 2nd Accidental Creations site design - also done in FLASH. It had a lot of moving parts and transitions, laser and hologram effects - a very robotic and futuristic look.

The 3rd Accidental Creations Site design/concept - never used.

This 4th site design was used for a number of years.

A 5th site design that was never used. It had an animated ink effect for all the buttons and transitions. It was around this time that FLASH was no longer usable for web design.

This 6th design wasn't used, but it did inspire the look that Accidental Creations site had for a long time.

A Comicon in my home town! So convenient!

Masked up! This was near the end of the pandemic, but still took precautions!

My second daughter, Selina, now joins the venture!

My girls and my nephew came by to visit my table at this VERY successful Comicon - I sold most of my inventory, some books completely sold out!

When I'm not around, my drawings ACTUALLY come to life to watch my booth.....true story!

The Herd and the Farm Freaks came by my booth :)

A virtual seminar at a virtual Comicon - another angle. It was such a cool experience. Made me miss Playstation Home!

There truly is no greater feeling of accomplishment than opening a box of your own published work!

An even GREATER feeling of accomplishment - having to restock on books due to sales!

The next best day of my life but equally the best ;p

Something I started but never finished. For my own entertainment /practice with flash animation, I was going to animate this scene from Seinfeld where Kramer tells the story about the severed pinky toe. I was going to show the story he tells about stopping the mugger on the bus while saving the pinky toe for Toby. I never finished this, but here is a sample of what I started.
