Seasons Greetings from Rob Ryan from MR. ROBERT RYAN

Now we are in the dark of winter when we leave the studio we are constantly struggling in the dark searching for the right keys with which to lock the door - but not for much
longer !!! Our new lantern is going to be installed and glass designer supremo Sasha Ward has made the glass up for us, its slowly coming together and I'm pretty excited!

The Guardian G2 magazine asked me and 5 other artists to design a Christmas card.... and my one got the cover!!!
The other brilliant artists who designed cards are David Shrigley, Michael Craig-Martin, Polly Morgan, Matthew Darbyshire and Sarah Lucas. They are available to email or tweet or print out and post on The Guardian website

Here is the newest lasercut!!!

Measures 26cm wide by 38.5cm high and comes in it's own ribbon-wrapped folder. Every lasercut is signed by me (initialled) in an edition of 300.

They are now available on etsy and will be in Ryantown this weekend at £80 each.

We're in the process of making these beautiful plates at Ryantown HQ. Each design is hand-printed with ceramic ink and then applied the plate by hand. They are then fired here at the studio. There are several designs, taken from the papercuts in the recent 'The Stars Shine All Day Too'exhibition. They will only be available in the shop in the new year as they take such a long time to make!

If you're in London in the run-up to Christmas, head down Charing Cross Road to Foyles bookshop to see this lovely window display for the book 'Another Night Before Christmas'.
It's a lovely little book with a poem all about the night before Christmas, written by Carol Ann Duffy and illustrated by me!!!

Every year we do a new calendar at Ryantown and here's the latest!!
They are available in the shop and on ebay for £5 each.

I was asked by The Willow Foundation to create a canvas to be auctioned for the Stars On Canvas auction.
Well known faces from the worlds of sport, art, design, fashion, music and entertainment have drawn on their artistic skills in aid of the charity.
More than 300 canvases are being sold online through an eBay auction, which is open now, with bidding closing on 6 December 2010.
There is also a public exhibition which runs from 2 - 5 December at Catto Gallery, 100 Heath Street, Hampstead, London NW3 1DP
www.catto.co.uk
Exhibition opening times:
Thu 2 Dec: 3pm - 6pm • Fri 3 & Sat 4 Dec: 10am - 6pm • Sun 5 Dec: 12.30pm - 6pm
The money from the auction will be going to a great cause - The Willow Foundation is the only charity of its kind providing special days for seriously ill 16 to 40 year olds throughout the UK.
You can find my canvas here... get bidding!
