Hey Gang, just working on a new little project with my new chums at Dublin's Damn Fine Print Workshop. They're holding a show at Dublin's RHA Museum in conjunction with Irish Design Week this Halloween. I'm chuffed to bits be involved, especially as it gives me an excuse to pop down to Dublin for a few days.
The brief was "Quirky historical Irish Artefacts"
I came up with this – an homage to to the beautiful advertising of (long gone) ice cream brand Bangor Maid…
One for local readers really, but I've fulfilled a lifelong dream recently, by being invited to submit a weekly, satirical cartoon for my local newspaper, the County Down Spectator. So there we are – Hand Drawn Creative now produces a weekly newspaper cartoon. It may not be Fleet Street, but it feels good to engage with my own community through illustration. It's all good, clean fun and it also helps profile my older, original hand drawn illustration style too.
Well folks, my little exhibition wrapped up at the start of the month, and it was a great experience all round. Money was made and old friends and new were in attendance. There are a few display prints left over from the show which are taking up a lot of space in the studio. Hey – maybe they'd look good on YOUR walls. With this in mind, why not roll over to the Hand Drawn Creative Store to find a few bargains and rarities. There will be a few more to come very soon…
