This Is for You -- Artful, eye-catching, and full of heart, renowned screen printer and artist Rob Ryan's papercuts have graced book covers, album covers, and the fashion collections of Paul Smith. In This Is for You, Ryan takes his unique vision and crafts a book-length valentine that will move the heart and engage the spirit with its charm and artistry. Hand cut and hand painted, each page of Ryan's book can stand alone as a striking art piece, or be read as part of a larger tale of a young man's love and his ultimate triumph over loneliness. Ripe with evocative imagery and a heartfelt text, This Is for You is a powerful combination of poetry, graphic novel, and museum-quality art—but at its heart, it's a simple yet timeless tale of love.

Born in Cyprus and raised in the UK, Rob Ryan studied Fine Art at Nottingham Trent Polytechnic before going on to an MA in Printmaking at the Royal College of Art in London.
