The Dublin Flea Market

Delighted to have got to illustrate the May poster for the ever popular Dublin Flea Market this year. Many illustrators I admire have had opportunities to do this, so I was so happy to get the chance to have my take on it - lots of fun! What better way to describe the event than a whimsical bird in a vintage hat.

ABLE - Award

What a nice way to start the first quarter of the year. The wonderful Anne Culhane once again organised a beautiful exhibition ABLE - Artist Books Limerick Exhibitionof artist books from current students in LSAD and past students like myself. Such a diversity of styles it truly was a delight to attend.

They even had a few awards going and I was honoured to be awarded a prize as part of the exhibition for my artist book 'Every Soul Has A Dark Forest'.  I aim to get my book seen as much as possible (as I spent a long 3 months looking at it) so being part of the show was enough, the prize was a huge compliment and I am very grateful for the recognition.

ABLE 2016

Runs from 15th February until the 29th February. I only hope the show gets bigger and better each year!

Once Upon A Time....Love Letters From Limerick

This was my finished piece for ‪#‎LoveLettersFromLimerick‬'s charity auction that took place on the 1st of October in aid of Corbett Suicide Prevention down in the Fab Lab Limerick . It was a huge success thanks to artists , local businesses and the general public. Sign painting got a new lease of life and it was great fun to get involved. When it comes to anything Mental Health related I am always delighted to get involved.

Inkist exhibition

Hi Guys,

I am currently getting ready for an exhibition called ‘Inkist’ in Limerick on the 20th of August. It is taking place in the CB1 building on O’ Connell Street,next to (The White House Bar.) I am exhibiting along side 4 wonderful artists too. It is so nice for the focus of the exhibitions to be drawing. I always feel drawing is the main ingredient to many art forms. So refreshing to see and be part of an exhibition like this. 

I live for drawing. I like to think everything i do contributes to being able to create and draw in some way and it feeds into my concepts and ideas.

The detail above is from ‘ A Hare’s Breathe’.
