I am in the mood for cut outs today! Rob Ryan is a London-based artist whose work is com­prised of images and words cut out of paper. His work has appeared in books, mag­a­zines, and gallery shows.

I find Rob’s cut outs so won­der­ful. He wields the Exacto knife well– his shapes are elon­gated and ele­gant, and really sing. He cre­ates a dreamy, roman­tic image, which is made even more evi­dent by his illus­tra­tions cou­pled with poetry.

Rob’s work is sweet. It’s sim­ply done and a joy to look at!
