Rob Ryan

I am a huge followerd of the work of Rob Ryan and I'm sure this partly where my inspiration has come from to work with paper in an illustrative way.

Rob Ryan's studio....

I read about Rob Ryans working process which I think could be valuable when I start designing and making. His paper cuttings vary from tiny to huge, each one starts as a pencil drawing that is cut out (usually by hand) then sprayed with colour. Some of them rather than cut become silkscreen prints. I think that it is interesting that a lot of them are sprayed with colour after they are created rather than made from coloured stock which is what I had imagined until this point. I really like the way that photographing the paper cuts brings the otherwise usually flat images to life. Lighting and photography will probably play a large part in how my pieces appear.
