Memories

When we went up to the Maggies Cancer Care Centre in Hammersmith to discuss donating the money we make from Memories to their charity, I noticed they were selling a card with an image on the front created by the illustrator Rob Ryan. We all thought it was a great idea to ask him to participate in Memories by creating an image for the book. But Rob is in the upper echelons of the illustration and design scene. His studio is very busy. Could we pull it off?

Well, folks, the dream has become a reality. Rob has accepted our brief and will be creating an image for The Fox Cubs, a story about leukemia survivor survivor Sarah Yates. He also sent over some encouraging words about the project, saying that working for Maggies is a great thing to be doing. We welcome Rob aboard and thank him for taking the time to do this. His work is some of the finest papercraft-based illustration going – he cuts out silhouette scenes, complete with texturing and letter work, from sheets of coloured paper. Intricate, unique and totally authentic are all words that spring to mind, as you can see by the example above, so check it out here.
