Not new art, just news

No projects on the go at the moment (apart from the omnipresent personal ones, which I'll admit I am slow to develop past sketch-phase), but thought I'd just post a bit about what's going on in general.

Firstly, and possibly most importantly, I'm relocating to Co. Clare in a couple of weeks, to be with my better half. It's not my intention to alienate myself from the Dublin scene, just to make the commute a bit more painful. I'll be working from my new home in the main, and traveling to Dublin (or wherever) whenever there is a meeting/talk/exhibition/pint.

I'm busy as always, learning Flash as I hear there's a fair bit of work in banner creation, and picking up my (admittedly back-burnered) After Effects animation. I also hope to be doing some new bits for stand-up John Lynn, and I'll be creating some artwork (t-shirts and tour posters) for the best trad band in the world - Lau - which I'm very excited about.

I recently had to turn down a commission, which was incredibly painful considering I am desperate for them. But the brief called for photo-real illustration, and while I'd love to give it a go, it's just not my bag and would only end in tears with the pressure of a professional commission. A man's gotta know his limitations...

That's it for now. As I have no new work to post, I thought I'd stick up something from the distant past. So I found this in the bowels of my hard drive:


I believe it now hangs in the boat of a some good friends somewhere in the south west of England.
