Possibly the most romantic designer in the UK due to his wistful screen-and laser-cut prints. Rob Ryan's work is special. It is special in the sense that it is something unique, something especially beautiful, something that manages to be contemporary while carrying a strong hint of timelessness, a big gust of excitement combined with a familiar waft of nostalgia, and finally, and most importantly his work always seems to appear out of the blue, spontaneous, romantic as it always seems to address itself directly to you.
In a papercut, all the elements have to be connected, human figures have to hold hands or touch, and as result of this technique and precision the sense of connection has become a defining element in Rob Ryan's work, both as technique and as subject matter too.
Rob Ryan's technique of hand-crafted backgrounds could well be something I could use for the backgrounds of my card designs. Depending on the theme I go for I can always use it as a developing point or spring board to try out something new.
