As it is the festive time of year, I decided to whip up some Christmas Song fun charts. Can you guess each the songs? (Not that hard!) All answers on a postcard to….. Happy Christmas!
After a hectic month or so of Machines, Miracles or Magic, I can finally get back to putting up some work from my latest sketchbook. As you can see its kind of sporadic to say the least, very much inspired by the amazing eccentric personal sketchbooks as featured in the hidden art of designers, illustrators [...]

It’s been a while but here are some pages from my sketchbook. Just some random ones, i am finding lately that I start a sketch, leave it for a few days, then go back to it and add some more. Some are Ideas for jobs and competitions. I must update more regularly!
To continue the summer spirit all around, I have uploaded some of the recent photos I have taken over the past few days. All shots are from around the south east. There’s Hook Head, Bagabun Bay and Jack Meades Pub to name a few. Enjoy!

My entry focuses on the Lisbon Treaty, [...]
Back in October I did a 6 page graphic novel for design week Cork in the theme of “Your own private universe”. The concept was based around an individuals personal inner thinking and attitudes (well that was my angle anyway!) It was chosen and printed in a book along with other short stories. The attached pic [...]
Hadn’t done a storyboard since the Alcohol awareness film in college so this was fun. Its a storyboard for my friend Tommy’s end of year film. The film centres on sleep paralysis. It was unbelievably fast, 3hrs for all 4 of them, obviously i would have liked longer but however.
I don’t think they are too [...]
