Shua Studios

Original work built from everything that shaped me.

Shua Studios is where philosophy, artwork, and creative ideas come from the same idea that wrote the book "Nothing Stands Alone"

Not people. Not truth. Not art. Not love. Not pain. Not life. Not death.

Start with the Core Philosophy page for a brief breakdown of the idea behind Shua Studios. At the bottom of that page, “The Bottom” button opens the deeper in-depth breakdown.

Distinct, but not divided.

Built From Relation

The book, the art, the clothing, the tattoo path, the memories, the family, the pain, the growth, and the meaning are not separate projects. They are one connected studio.

Meet the Artist

Hi, My name is Josh “Shua” Ryan, and I’m the creator behind Shua Studios

I work full time as a mechanic here in Iowa, and when I’m not working, I emjoy drawing,writing and spending time on the things that matter most in life — family, respect, and truth.

Shua Studios was built around a simple idea: Nothing Stands Alone. Nothing is truly isolated and everything is connected. That philosphy inspires everything I am and everthing I create.

Every design begins with and original hand drawing before becoming apparel, artwork and hopefully one day, tattoo work.

Thank you for taking the time to explore my work.
