Author & Illustrator

Meet Evan

Evan Ripple was born in 2012 in Southern Maryland.

While this is his first published book, he has hundreds of creations!

He loved being read to as a young child, and then once he learned to read, he couldn’t get enough of reading to others. Evan even enjoyed reading to a special friend on the bus, to help her learn to read.

Very early on, Evan began drawing. He then started putting words into his art. He quickly started cranking out comics and books with paper and pencil. At the age of 11 Evan progressed to learning to use an iPad to create his artwork and comics.

Evan has drawn inspiration from his favorite authors, newspaper comics, films, and most of all his sense of imagination!

Evan hopes to inspire other young artists to put their greatest adventures on paper.

A LITTLE HISTORY

Evan established Ripple & Stickman Studios in 2022 as the home for his artwork, characters, comics, and stories.

In 2024, Evan registered his work with the U.S. Copyright Office, another milestone on the road to bringing the Duck & Patty universe to life.

The Adventures of Duck and Patty

Book 1: Stalker's Spaceship Heist

Join Duck and Patty as an ordinary search for adventure turns into something much bigger—with a villain, visitors from space, a missing spaceship and plenty of laughs.

Where it all began

From a sketch to a universe

Before the finished characters, the book and the digital artwork, there was pencil and paper. This early drawing shows Duck, Patty and villain Stalker taking shape at the beginning of the adventure.

That handmade energy is still at the heart of Duck & Patty today.
