Ryan’s work for Lost Industry Brewing bridges the gap between Sheffield’s craft beer scene and the streets of Madrid. By personifying the Spanish capital's nickname—"Gatos"—the artist renders a cat in ornate military uniform garments, grounding the surreal subject in the textures of hot press paper. The use of gouache adds a precise opacity to the feline's features, contrasting with the fluid transparency of the watercolour washes to create a sense of depth and character.

The illustration draws heavily from the aesthetics of the past, placing the animal within a narrative framework that suggests an era of great exploration. It is a whimsical study of identity, where the human-animal bond is reimagined as a singular, dignified figure that represents a city’s collective spirit through a lens of stylistic fusion and vintage graphic sensibilities.
