This is the first signed and editioned lasercut I have have ever done!

This is the latest papercut for Waitrose Food Illustrated

There's lots of exciting black and white products which have been made especially for Ryantoon

The nice people at Cent magazine asked me to do thaumatrope for their section on optical illusions!

Ryantown is closing down!...

but Ryantoon is opening for 6 weeks only in glorious black and white!
Come down and take a look from 3rd October - 5th November.

Vogue Nippon have used my ruler artwork in their lovely kids supplement as a pull out piece.

This is another papercut illustration I did to accompany Sophie Dahl's column in Waitrose Food Illustrated.

The papercut I did for Elle's celebration of 25 years of London Fashion Week has been used for a limited edition cover- available at WH Smith. Twenty five artists and designers have each designed a poster which will be on display in various underground stations around London during September.

Alex and Will have been as busy as ever and they're just about to release their second publication of It's Nice That. Any orders placed before the end of September will receive one of these screenprints. For more information about all the great things Alex & Will do follow the link.
It's Nice That

'To Dry For' produce luscious tea towels, and I am proud to say I have given them one of my designs to add to their already awesome catalogue. Thank you Sally and Dave for inviting me !
To Dry For

Been working on a poster with Elle for the tube to celebrate 25 years of London Fashion Week.

Horoscope pages for La Republica mag Velvet.

This week I have been busy printing HMS Ryantown tshirts to get them in the shop for our one year anniversary.

Here are two more of Louis De Bernieres book jackets I illustrated for Random House

These are my Leo illustrations for the Horoscopes I have been doing for Velvet Magazine.

I have agreed to do 6 monthly illustrations for Waitrose food magazine to go with Sophie Dahl's Column. She is a wonderful natural writer who seems to with great ease conjure up wonderful moods of smell and sensation in words. It is quite a challenge to try and keep up with her in image form. I hope I somehow manage to do her writing justice.

My new two colour screenprint Everything That Is celebrates the first year of my London based shop Ryantown. They are limited edition of 111 and shall be selling for £111 each so get one whilst you can! Available this weekend.

Each print is signed by me, reads "1st Year of Ryantown" and is editioned. They are also available to buy from my Etsy shop.

Afternoon Tea in Japan asked me ages ago to do some designs for all kinds of wet weather gear to launch for their Rainy Season collection, it's finally been launched and I must say those umbrellas look wicked !

This blog is pretty much 'all about ME!', but sometimes something comes along so brilliant that it distracts even someone as totally self obsessed as I am. My lady Lorna has taken a step sideways from creating beautiful denim bears to making the most fantastic corduroy daschunds. Here is my new pal Percy, he sits on my chair in the studio looking after it for me all day ! check out more of his kind at....
I LOVE DENIM

Bloomsbury Children's have just sent me a proof through of a Jacket I did for one of their books 'Troubadour'. I especially like the sparks in the sky and the blackness of the girls
silhouette, (if I say so myself !)

May 3rd Issue

Anybody fancy a game of 'Spot the Difference' ? More examples of 'versions' of my work can be found BY CLICKING HERE or deathhouse_works@yahoo.co.uk

This papercut was commissioned by 'The Ride' magazine.

The first issue of 'It's Nice That' has a piece about some of my favourite records

Grafik's April issue gives me a little mention in it's 'Essential Things To See and Do This Month'.

Since I've been doing this monthly horoscope gig for La republica mag 'Velvet' the month flies by so fast , it seems like only last week since I did the last one. Anyway here's the latest for Taurus. The irony is I'm not superstitious at all and don't actually believe in any of this horoscope stuff - but that's me all over, typical Scorpio !!!

I'm off to New York next week to launch Ryantown USA as a pop-up store in the states! Over the past months I have been busy getting ready for this exciting collaboration with Earnest Sewn. In the studio we have been producing new cushion covers, tiles and some rather lovely denim bears (produced with my wonderful Lorna). Come and see us if your are in the area!
