ELBOW

Been fans of these guys for ages so I thought I'd pay tribute to Bury's finest by drawing Mssrs Garvey, Potter, Jupp, Potter and Turner together. I'm quite happy with it so far (yes, you've guessed it......it's not quite finished yet!!)
Happy New Year!

AMELIA

This will probably be my last blog post of the year and I reckoned what better subject than the little person responsible for turning our world upside down and for being the source of so much amusement and utter joy for the last 5 and a half months...........
Thanks a million to everyone who visited my blog in 2009 and for all of your comments too!!
Happy Christmas to one and all!

GOOD NEWS!

Recently, I submitted three sketches into an art exhibition that was organised by some students at Trinity College. The exhibition pieces, submitted by staff and students at Trinity College, comprised of works ranging from photography, sculpture, painting and the odd sketch or two!
Anyway, turns out that the Curator of the Trinity College Art Collection liked my sketches so much, she bought them as permanent additions to the collection to be lent out to various College departments and Schools across Trinity College.
Just thought I'd share that little bit o' news! I'm pretty chuffed to be honest!

LIVE WORK

Had a busy weekend with three gigs in two days, two in BT on Grafton St and another with Niall O'Loughlin in the exotics of Moate on Saturday night.
Here's a selection of photos........

PRINCE

Thought I'd keep up the pencil work for now and do another sketch. Underneath is a quick render in Photoshop minus the body which I have a few ideas for.

IRISH WRITERS

Here's a collection of sketches of some of Ireland's most famous authors and playwrights, George Bernard Shaw, James Joyce, Brendan Behan and Samuel Beckett.
These sketches were all done in pencil and took about an hour each.

GEORGE BERNARD SHAW

Can't say I'm too familiar with his works of literature but I thought I'd give this fellow a try.
It still needs a bit of fine tuning which should bring me nicely into the year 2047.
