As well as his illustrations for works of science fiction and fantasy literature.

Early career and life

Ruddell was raised in Northern California and holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the California College of the Arts (1975). As a teen, Ruddell got his start being published in automotive magazines doing car cartoons and illustrations. After graduating from college, Ruddell began a career as a freelance illustrator.

Fine art career

In the early 1990s Ruddell made a major shift in his work, turning towards figurative fine art. Essentially leaving the illustration scene. Since this shift, Ruddell has been exhibiting and showing in museums, galleries, universities and exhibitions across the United States. He has cited Bay Area Figurative Movement as a significant influence on his art.^[2] He has said of his work, "I like to think of my paintings as stills in a film, suspended moments, a private glimpse into the human condition."^[4]
