Rob Ryan

I love Rob Ryan's work. All those intricate papercuts, I have mucho respecto for dis guy (sudden mexican accent). Which kinda reminds me that I have his book somewhere that I have yet to open that I got from the Wood Would shop at the Mandarin Gallery a couple of months ago.

I like keeping my hands busy, though most times I'm frozen stuck infront of the computer. I made an attempt at doing a papercut but on a much smaller, simpler scale for tryouts, a year ago. I haven't really been productive on the craft front lately so I'm posting works I did previously.

Those are lyrics from Bon Iver's In The Woods. :)

A few months ago, my boss at work had brought this book to my table thinking I might be interested and I immediately fell in like(not love.).

Niels "Shoe" Meulman is an internationally known artist, graphic designer, and art director. Meulman began tagging Shoe in 1979 and became a graffiti legend by the time he was 18.

That last image is just awesome and raw. I have this affinity for serif text and "some" calligraphy and squiggly lines infused together. *Note: I have a faith/hope ambigram on my right wrist.* And I have always thought about getting another text tattoo done and seeing that image, made me want it more. Unfortunately, I doubt I will be getting any ink jobs done anytime soon 'cos I have other plans to save money up for. But, would you look at that!!
