He was born in Akrotiri, Cyprus, in 1962. His best known works comprise of highly intricate decorative paper cut-outs that include words and images of figures in idyllic environments, and words that describe feelings of love, happiness and hope. These paper cut outs have been seen in their original state in galleries, and have also been screen-printed on to homewares, used as the backdrop of a Liberty shop-window, and decorated T-shirts, jewellery and calendars. In fact, think of an object and you can probably buy one decorated by Rob Ryan! Rob has a team of incredibly talented and dedicated craftspeople that help to make these ideas a reality. <a title=\"Tom Camp's website\" href=\"www.campillustration.co.uk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tom Camp<\/a> is Rob&#8217;s screen printer (as well as an artist\/illustrator in his own right).

Rob will draw onto a large sheet of paper and instruct us on what to cut out and what not to. Generally the cutting out is Louise and Michelle\u2019s forte. \u00a0After a fair few hours and lots of fresh scalpel blades the paper cut is finished. It is in quite a fragile state so to strengthen it and give it a bold colour, we then carefully spray paint it, generally outside if the weather permits.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_19006\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-19006\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.jacksonsart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/colour-samples.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-19006 \" alt=\"Experimenting with which colours to use - household paint colour swatches can sometimes help as a reference\" src=\"http:\/\/www.jacksonsart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/colour-samples.jpg\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.jacksonsart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/colour-samples.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.jacksonsart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/colour-samples-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.jacksonsart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/colour-samples-620x413.jpg 620w, https:\/\/www.jacksonsart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/colour-samples-192x128.jpg 192w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-19006\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Experimenting with which colours to use &#8211; pantone colour swatches area very useful reference<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Rob decides which colour would be suited best to each paper cut in advance. Spraying it also helps me to use it as the positive when exposing it onto a screen, as the paint prevents the light shining through the paper. The screens are coated with a photosensitive emulsion, which reacts with UV light. When the light shines against the screen, the paper cut blocks out what I want to print and after exposing it for around 10 minutes I wash the screen with water and the shape of the paper cut washes out. Using the paper cut as the positive is brilliant because you get the handmade look and feel in the screen, something that a digital version of the image wouldn\u2019t give you.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_19003\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-19003\" style=\"width: 816px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.jacksonsart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Mixing-ink.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-19003\" alt=\"Some pots of ink for Rob Ryan's screen prints\" src=\"http:\/\/www.jacksonsart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Mixing-ink.jpg\" width=\"816\" height=\"547\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.jacksonsart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Mixing-ink.jpg 816w, https:\/\/www.jacksonsart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Mixing-ink-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.jacksonsart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Mixing-ink-620x415.jpg 620w, https:\/\/www.jacksonsart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Mixing-ink-192x128.jpg 192w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 816px) 100vw, 816px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-19003\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Some pots of ink for Rob Ryan&#8217;s screen prints.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Once the paper cut is on screen, I\u2019ll then have a chat with Rob about how many layers he wants to use and we discuss colour choices. I then go back to the print studio and mix up the chosen colours and get on with sampling the print. This is my favourite part of my job as I get to mix and match loads of different colour ways that will never be seen by anyone else outside the studio. Once I\u2019ve printed these samples I take them over to show Rob and everyone in the studio. We all have a chat about what works best and then we\u2019ll all make a decision together but obviously Rob has the final say! At this point if there is a clear favourite choice the sample will be signed off and I can start printing the edition. However sometimes I have gone back three or four times with different changes, it\u2019s the most important stage because the colour choice can change the whole feel of the print.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_19001\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-19001\" style=\"width: 620px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.jacksonsart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/printing.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-19001\" alt=\"Printing the first colour\" src=\"http:\/\/www.jacksonsart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/printing-682x1024.jpg\" width=\"620\" height=\"930\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.jacksonsart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/printing-682x1024.jpg 682w, https:\/\/www.jacksonsart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/printing-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.jacksonsart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/printing-620x930.jpg 620w, https:\/\/www.jacksonsart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/printing.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-19001\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Printing the first colour<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>After I\u2019ve been given the go ahead with the colours I\u2019ll then reset the print bed, give it all good clean to make sure the paper won&#8217;t get dirty while printing. Mix up the right amount of ink to finish the print job and once the screen is set up and registered it\u2019s time to print. Firstly I\u2019ll put a piece of paper underneath the screen. Then put a generous amount of ink on the screen, enough to cover the printable area. With a squeegee, I\u2019ll flood the ink across the screen this pushes ink into the mesh of the screen. I\u2019ll then pull the squeegee towards me, making contact with the paper underneath which makes the reproduction of the image onto the paper.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_19002\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-19002\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.jacksonsart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/printed.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-19002\" alt=\"Single colour print drying on the rack\" src=\"http:\/\/www.jacksonsart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/printed.jpg\" width=\"800\" height=\"549\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.jacksonsart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/printed.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.jacksonsart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/printed-300x205.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.jacksonsart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/printed-620x425.jpg 620w, https:\/\/www.jacksonsart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/printed-100x70.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-19002\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Single colour print drying on the rack<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Depending on the size of the print and the edition size, sometimes I\u2019ll have help with racking the prints after each pull. The time frame can change too, as large editions obviously can take more than one day, especially with multiple colours. After all the printing is done, they are then left to dry over night. This gives them time to flatten out and so the paper doesn\u2019t warp.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_19005\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-19005\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.jacksonsart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/drying-rack.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-19005\" alt=\"Multiple colour prints drying on the rack\" src=\"http:\/\/www.jacksonsart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/drying-rack.jpg\" width=\"800\" height=\"663\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.jacksonsart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/drying-rack.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.jacksonsart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/drying-rack-300x248.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.jacksonsart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/drying-rack-620x513.jpg 620w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-19005\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Multiple colour prints drying on the rack.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Once the edition and proofs are complete myself or one of the team will check through all of the prints to make sure there are no imperfections and to make sure the correct number have been printed for the edition and proofs.
