Welcome to Black Zodiac Prints!
I'm Ryan Downs, a black artist and illustrator based in Portland, Oregon.
As the creator of Black Zodiac Prints, I draw each piece entirely by hand using photo references. My goal is to bring to light all of the many inspiring figures in the black community in a unique art nouveau style. I draw everything digitally and print locally here in Portland!
Represent your favorite black singer, author, actor or Zodiac sign with a print from Black Zodiac Prints!
The dimensions of each print are a standard 11x14 inches, so frames are easy to find and will fit perfectly on any wall in any room. Prints are printed on durable, heavy Accent Opaque cardstock with a semi-matte finish and vivid colors.
At this time, I am not offering custom orders, custom colors or custom sizes, but I would love to hear from you if you have any suggestions for who is missing from the collection!

5 out of 5 starsRyan is so considerate and kind. I thought I’d loss my order because of Hurricane Ida and I reached out to let him know that the person who got my package my send it back. He quickly responded and remained communicative as I updated him on locating my art. When I finally got it, I was so so pleased with the art. I bought another one right after. So excited to hang them up. Thank you so much!!

I’m Ryan Downs, the artist behind Black Zodiac. I started this series to bridge a gap I discovered in the ethnic representation in astrology. As a fan of the Zodiac, I’ve never been able to find much artwork portraying ethnic characters (fictional or otherwise) in alignment with their signs. I began the Black Zodiac series as a way to bring that artwork I wanted to see into the world, starting with some of my favorite past and contemporary R&B female singers and songwriters. The series is ever expanding to include more black authors, artists, superheroes, leaders, and more.
