Rob Ryan's magical paper-cuts and screenprints have been used by designer Paul Smith, appeared on a Vogue model and graced book covers (THE BOOK OF LOST THINGS by John Connolly, The World to Come by Dara Horn).

THIS IS FOR YOU is a magical, romantic and touching story of thoughts and dreams, loneliness and longing, the personal and the universal.
Each page has been cut out of paper using a scalpel, sprayed and photographed.

'An enchanting rare book, that is pure delight from beginning to end.' Sophie Dahl
