Birds of Paradise 1

This is a new series I am working on, it’s for Artsweek 2015 in Kilkenny, where I will, for a second year, take my summer holidays outside our famous Castle. This series is a work in progress but fingers crossed will have a few more pieces for August!

The Devils Work…

I’ve been employed to sell the devils work. I’ve branded him, not with irons, the pen is more permanent and now I’m illustrating his tale (and tail, either word works!)

It’s a recession, an appropriate time to sell my soul!

I “Heart” Tom Gauld


Found this work lately and thought it was a cool idea…

Tom Gauld, a well known illustrator, has paired up with Diet Coke and produced artwork for cans to celebrate “Heart” month in the US. As far as I understand it’s a month to make people aware of heart disease. Anyway, the new cans are really striking and I don’t drink coke but if they were on the shelves over here, I’d buy a few to look at…could make really nice pyramids or just squash them down and make a deadly collage…or could just get out the sketchbook and draw a few hearts of my own, lots of options, so little time, my heart bleeds and that definitely goes against the idea of US heart month, I’m confused…Anyway you can check out his work on tomgauld.com.
