here's a painting i did about two years ago but never got a proper photo of it before it moved on to a new home. still a personal favourite.

In all my unknowing...

this is possibly one of my favourite things i've made recently...




i've been having great fun lately painting and sanding and hammering and painting random bits of wood. Working on a little series of pieces, image and text work.

Also I've put whole bunch of listings on Etsy and will hopefully get a good bit more up during the week, so have a lookie.



Lastly, Saw Whet, Down South. Listen here. Nice stuff :)

Also, taking part in a fund-raising exhibition on Saturday in the Centre for Creative Practices, 15 Pembroke Street Lower, Dublin; info here. 18 artists taking part, including music, food and wine.

Its just a one day event, so if you could make it down, would be great :)

Thank you!

Inspiration

I haven't been posting much of other people's work lately. must remedy that. so, here's some things i've been enjoying this week;

first off, really liking vicki hartman's house sculptures. lovely simple shapes, something very reassuring about how solid they feel. plus i love how they're half sculpture, half canvas to these minamalist drawings. anyway, have a look.


There was a great series of work by Escif and Hyuro on Unurth about a week ago. Lovely stuff;


if you haven't already, download Low Flying Crow by Sunburnt Jets, latest creative output of Colin Boylan. He never fails to write the most delicious melodies and doing only interesting things with them. So far, personal favourite has to be Look Who's Laughing Now.


and lastly, some wise words from the most delightful and gorgeous of men :)

I also haven't posted a Gulf Fund picture in a while (I took a week off from communication a week ago, so I'm a bit behind with my interwebular duties), so I'll get one posted in a few days.

More Labours

i have a few things in the works at the mo, but they'll probably not see light for a long while, so for now more ink oddities. they're becomming increasingly fantastical and less related to anything of reality. and i'm more engrossed in the application of detail. longer labours on greater errors.

Laboured Errors

Sketch book

here's the last few pages of my sketch book, just for a gander. the last page, the emily pencil drawing, i'd like to do as a big painting with a nice green and yellow countryside background. her eye paint will be a weedy seadragon, me thinks. there's also plans for a sculpture and a piece of music in there, if you'd believe...

Oh sweet music!

Been in need of something new lately, vaguely more upbeat than my recent diet of grizzly bear and phosphorescent. I'm liking Guano Padano, think their debut album was released end of last year. A sort of Italian instrumental jazzy folk electronica. But it works. Heard a little preview of some new Cap Pas Cap tracks, for their debut album which hopefully will be released soonly. Pretty damn sweet, looking forward to it. Also Colin Boylans latest project, Sunburnt Jets, will have a release on Friday 13th of this month. He knows how to write a good tune, this should be awesome.

Also came across this nice cover here by Idiot Glee shot by ian perlman on iguessimfloating;

Here's a little series of heads in pencil and acrylic on small box canvases kindly given to me by a friend. hopefully should have them finished later for Sunday's market.



This was just from a sketch i did earlier in the week. its been a while since i messed about with pictures in photoshop. i'm quite happy with this one though. might do a series of prints.
