Ryan’s studio, an Aladdin’s cave of paper projects, is located in Bethnal Green London where he works intricately and intimately with his team. Creations, that are predominantly paper-cuts and prints, occupy every inch of space and time. He also has Ryantown, a shop on Columbia Road where you can find his limited edition prints, paper cuts and some of his quirky keepsakes.

A Sky Full of Kindness, is the first children’s book that he has written and illustrated. The pages tell a story of a world of birds, which he claims is really about love overcoming fear, and being human. This follows Ryan’s 2009 This Is For You book of stunning poetry and paper cutting.
His own innocence and sensibility is very evident as he speaks of childhood and its natural translation into adulthood. For Ryan love is not the ‘obvious’ topic or inspiration for art, it is the everything...all consuming and all interconnected.
His work reflects the world as he sees it, capturing the beauty in the everyday and every man, woman, child...bird.
