I was so excited to find out that Rob Ryan was coming into give a talk, i only contacted him about 2 weeks ago and got a response saying he was to busy.
Hes just the most brilliant looking man, massive frizz hair, Adidas trainers, glasses and some coloured top and yet he produces these romantic and delicate imagery.
The talk was quite interesting finding out about him path to fame and how its not always been about his cut outs at all. He was a fine artist and he was very positive in talking about peoples careers and how you have to enjoy what you do. Also didn't realise that he didn't get paid for any of the John Lewis designs which seems absurd but its what has got him all this attention since and so it sort of seems worth it now.
I came away pretty positive about a career and really felt no pressure to get a job straight from Uni which is great but what stuck in my mind was Rob said that he loves what he does every day, all day every day. What a dream this must be. This is what i want.
