Happy Krampus!

Kovet iPhone cases

I can finally talk about this! I was approached a few months back, by Sligo based company Kovet, to be part of an Illustrator series of iPhone covers. They are produced, printed and designed right here in Ireland. There's a diverse range of styles represented by some very talented Illustrators and I was very glad to be included in the line-up. Thanks to Mark and all the team at Kovet. Here below are my 4 designs. Check them out and all the rest of the great covers here!

Drawing Dreams Foundation

I was recently contacted by the Drawing Dreams Foundation, a non profit organization that provides art supplies to children's hospitals, who are putting together a zoo themed coloring book that will be donated and distributed to sick kiddies. They wanted the book to feature amusing genetically-altered animals. Below each illustration will be a blank space where the child can give the creature a name. Here are my contributions, a Bunkey and a Peliroo!

Happy Halloween and Merry Movember!

The Illustrated Beatles

Illustrators Ireland and The Grand Social present an exhibition of artwork inspired by The Beatles on October 23rd 2012.

40 Irish Illustrators were each given a different Beatles song and were asked to create a piece based on it. Here's the promotional poster for the event and my little contribution for 'Yesterday'.

It's going to be epic!

Knorr

Part of a recent campaign I worked on with TargetMcConnells for Knorr Hunger Hero.

Twitter bird

A recent commission to illustrate a studious-looking twitter bird.

Onychophagia

My contribution to a recent Illustrators Ireland blog post about that most unsightly of habits, biting ones nails.

Comic Strip

Some concepts for a children's comic strip I've been working on recently.

Secret rendezvous

David

Finally got round to seeing prometheus. Not 100% about the film overall but thought Michael Fassbender was brilliant as the android David. The scene at the end, where Elizabeth places his live decapitated head into a carrybag and zips it up, stuck out in my mind for whatever reason.

Captain Quint

Went to see the Jaws re-issue in the cinema the other night. Forgotten just how great a movie it is. Here's a little homage to the bad-ass captain Quint.

Canvas Prints

A couple of illustrations done for my friend's nephews.

Dragon powered balloon!

Kormac Word Play

Just found this and thought I'd share. It's the cover I did for DJ Kormac's album Word Play a couple of years back.
Also a promotional piece for the Kormac's big band line up.

Unimpressed

Here's my dog looking less than pleased with her stuffed likeness (created by Iseult Uhlemann from one of my Illustrations).

lecool @ Offset

Here's the image I did up as part of lecool's 'power of ten' presentation at Offset this weekend. They did a crowd-sourced presentation illustrating ten elevator pitches to make Dublin city a better place. This image was to accompany the 'Burn the city down and start over' idea.

Offset 2012

Had a great weekend at Offset in the Grand Canal theatre. So many inspiring speakers and amazing work packed into 3 days.
Here is the promo postcard I did up for the Illustrators Ireland stand in the lobby.

Messing around with some character concepts in photoshop.

Conference Centre Crocodilio

Every time I pass the Dublin Conference Centre I see this crocodile staring back at me. All it needed was a few teeth and some pupils and voila!

hi-vis

Here's an illustration I was commissioned to do a little while back for St.Clare's school Harold's Cross. It's all about kids heading into school in their hi-vis jackets during the dark Autumn mornings.

Lecool

I'm featured on the cover of this weeks lecool magazine. Check it out here

XL Challenge

I was asked recently to design an image to promote a charity climb of the 4 highest peaks in Ireland.

Happy Valentines Day!

Some random plasticine and clothespeg exploration. Possible stop motion animation I hear you say?

Printed on threadless!

I've recently had the good fortune of being printed over at Threadless!
I'm hoping this will be my first and not my last. It has my name printed
in the collar and all. How cool is that.
