Lately, Ryan Snook has been doing regular illustrations for a column in Indianapolis Monthly and he finds he loves to work within a regular structure and find the right tone and style that fits each story best.

The illustration above was for a story about a not-so-good vacation that included mountains, a cabin and goats.

Getting Down to Earth: One man's love of all things mulch.

Twist and Shout: For a story about a wife forcing her husband to go to yoga with her.

Pillow Talk: For a story about being bashful to talk about mattresses.
