The Patience of Artist Rob Ryan

stylist-cmas-coverin-styleRRyanPApercutCalendarThe paper cut illustrations of Artist Rob Ryan are a wonder to behold. A wonder in their intricacy, in their contemporary charm and, well, quite frankly I can’t fathom how one takes the time and effort to create such a body of work. I guess their are techniques and shortcuts that Rob takes in creating these pieces. Even so, in this age of I want it now, I need it now, strike that I needed it yesterday, goodbye I’ll find someone else to do this last week when I really needed it…anyway, it’s nice to see such strong and delicate work, regardless of how long or little time it takes.

    I agree with you. It’s just amazing how much patience is needed for such art to be done but yet, when it’s done, the results are even greater than you imagined. This is exactly it! I love it.

    I thought these were great drawings at first glance, but on realizing they were papercuts, I can’t believe how much skill and dedication it must take to make them. Wonderful stuff!
