Jaunty Stuff

Usually when I'm doing anything involving wood or working on theatre sets it tends to be in the company of the awesome Mr Harrison, who has started to sell his own wares as Jaunty Stuff. We share a similar appreciation for wood and old things. He also has a Facebook page. Like it.





Added a few links to the "friends" section, to your left, worth checking out, including kaiser caimo's blog. I particularly like the recent posts about destruction as part of artistic process.

Rossmore's wood

i went to rossmore (a forest park in monaghan) yesterday to find a particular tree, but i think it was somewhere amongst these.



apparently 60% of the wood in the park is for timber production, according to coillte. here's a pdf on their management plan. this is likely all very necessary and a long-running normality. they have replanting plans in there too. still, i do find i warm to people much easier when they leave shit alone. photos from rossmore here.


had one of those annoying evenings where i start too many pictures to know what to do with. many shades of emily.




but i managed to get a good bunch of older ones finished (save for the odd final touch up), so all is well.


particularly fond of this one.

scanner isn't picking up much detail. i had planned on sharing some links...but my arms are too b******d, so i'm going to drink beer and read karen armstrong instead.

following friendly guidance, i drew some things lying around my desk last night. at least, it started out that way. unreality has a habit of taking over...
