Heaven tea towel £11.95 by Rob Ryan at The Soma Gallery

Since 2002, Rob Ryan he has been working principally within the paper cutting medium. Although he views himself first and always as a fine artist, his intricate papercut work adapts itself readily to screenprinting which have then transferred to ceramics, fabrics, lasercutting and other surfaces.He has collaborated with Paul Smith, Liberty of London, Fortnum and Mason and Vogue along with many other established companies.

His work, often consisting of whimsical figures paired with sentimental, grave, honest and occasionally humourous pieces of writing he readily admits are autobiographical.

The illustrations on the covers are so delightful. Literature's great works ditch their stuffy dust jackets for smartly embossed canvas covers.
