Some cartoon kids what I did once




These were done years ago and I just rediscovered them when I was cleaning out the Mac. The campaign they were done for didn't go ahead, but I quite like them anyway.

Storyboards


This is what I do most of the time - storyboards and visuals for advertising. These were all for various Bank of Ireland rugby campaigns over the last year.

Irish language poster



Those dashing young men Conor and David asked me to do an illustration for a series of Irish language poetry posters for use in schools. Here's the English translation:

A minute in the morning

A smell of ironing
this morning in the apartment
on Hanover Quay
You standing there at the table
ironing
your clean shirt
for an appointment in work
and me looking at you.

The iron moves slowly
over the clothes,
removing every wrinkle.

I hope that things between us will be
as smooth as that, my precious.

New drawings



These were dome a few months ago, just drawing to see where it would take me. It ground to a halt, but maybe I'll pick it up again.

Roisin's chair





I painted this chair for my daughter back in August for her second birthday. There are some pictures on the underside too, but they're secret ones for her.

Wise Women



I was asked by the nice people at The Gloss magazine to make an illustration for a piece about women's mentors, the influential spiritual/emotional figures in a woman's life. The melon makes sense when you read the article...

Laundry etching 1



I considered using this as my Laundry piece, but did a linocut instead that I'll post after the show. This is about my youthful pyromaniac tendencies.

Laundry looms



I've been organising a big group show here in South Studios, it opens for one night this Wednesday 29th. 70 creatives from illustration, design and photography have made an A1 sized work on the theme of "airing your dirty laundry". Some lovely work in already. Looks like being a cracking show.
