Ryan Singer (born August 24, 1973) is a Navajo contemporary painter living in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

This led to him working for the United States Forest Service for five years, when he left disappointed with the red tape of the US federal government.

Singer currently lives and works in Albuquerque, New Mexico, with his wife, Nathania Tsosie, who runs his website and online sales.

Influences of comic books, record album covers, and science fiction are combined with a Pop Art sensibility in a movement called Indigenous Futurisms.

[3] He is also known for his detailed portraits – ranging from Marilyn Monroe wearing a Navajo blanket to Boba Fett with a coyote.

Singer's first completed painting was at the age of 16; a self-portrait with him wearing a Batman T-shirt and his head wrapped up like a mummy.

Upon returning to college he was offered two major opportunities: a commission to create illustrations for a book published by Salina Bookshelf and a museum exhibition.

This experience would lead to one of Singer's most well-known images Wagon-burner; a yellow road sign that depicts a covered wagon with flames in the back of it, rolling down a hill.
