Introduction

Welcome to RyanMakes.ca :)

I'm a Toronto culture enjoyer and this is my website. It is my intention to collect and showcase and explain my projects and documentation here.

This site is under construction, but please feel free to have a look around.

Thanks for being here with us today :)

If you're here for Doing The Lord's Work, I'm still working on it here.

• Eratosthenes' demonstration of the curvature and circumference of Terra

Background and Lore:

Molto Benny was born as a two eyed pizza slice in a Rare Pizzas Box. He thought to himself, "what if pizza were free?"... and his third eye popped out!

Molto Benny is the mascot of PizzaDAO. ( a DAO is like a group chat with a bank account, but it can get fancy )

PizzaDAO is all about free pizza parties. We hand out pizza to everyone, all over the world! This year on Bitcoin Pizza Day, we feasted and partied in Toronto and over 200 other cities!

Part of every sale of any Benny will be used to fund pizza to be given away for free, because that's what Benny would want. Ryan Makes will also be using part of every sale to buy laptops and other educational equipment for a learning center for kids with disabilities where he volunteers.

Ryan Makes has been a proud member of the PizzaDAO family for years, helping coordinate the DAO and parties like Toronto's Pizza Day. When asked questions like "isn't everything 'crypto' bad?" Ryan's locked-and-loaded answer is "The world is full of scams, but the pizza is real. PizzaDAO has never lied to me - promises made are promises kept. That's rare! Have a slice!"

Ryan wanted the Benny toy depicted in the NFT to be real, so he forced it into existence and now you can hold it in your hand.

Bottom Line

This is a rare chance to support great causes and get to own a unique part of history.

Be a hero at every Pizza Day forever with your own OG Benny sculpture!

Lucifer

Ryan Makes Lucifer for Mallo stands on the shoulders of giants.

This statue has history: Commissioned in 2024 for Mallo Gallery's Permanent Collection in Toronto, Lucifer is 3D printed in signature Mallo pink PLA from a digitally sculpted study of a physically sculpted marble statue named Le Genie Du Mal (1848).

originally comissioned by the church based on the character from historically best-selling book series The Bible. based on their fav fanfic lol

This narrative and physical form have inspired many generations of artists.

Daydreamasaurus

Printed on Ema The 3D Printer using rainbow PLA.

Crown Thing

These are some pictures of our heads. This crown is gold, but it doesn't seem to have any effects on hair growth or density. This is unfortunate, because it would be great to have wonderful hair. Instead, you get to look at our split ends and scraggles. Enjoy this rare view of our foreheads in all of their glory!
