First Colour




second colour


Finished Lithograph


 

I use thread in my work to  incorporate colour but keep it linear

Got really sick of doing small agonizingly detailed sketches so I decided to do a big gestural drawing of them. I left it on the ground under my work because I want people to walk on it

Bits and pieces from my summer sketch book

Man asleep in Limerick bus station and silliness, pencil.

Please do not adjust your screen, this is Henry. The fattest pigeon who ever lived sitting in my garden. Moments before this picture was taken he had eaten the neighbour's cat.
Henry, pencil and yet another man asleep, pen.


 Da circa 2009, pencil and somebody's jacket, charcoal and pencil.


Attempting embroidery: muscles on a skeleton, satin stitch (sortanotreally) pen and a backstitch skull.

Bitta twine I'd knotted and weaved together that was HORRIBLE to draw so I stopped and this fella, charcoal, pencil and thread.

Gran,pencil.


Saw a picture of Abe Lincoln on a children's encyclopaedia yesterday and I thought to myself- he looks a lot like an ostrich...then the image of an ostrich going about it's ostrichy business with Honest Abe's head was almost worryingly clear in my mind. So I drew this thing in pencil.

lithography





More pocketwatch drawings.


This is a photo of my Mam and her twin sister Rita and I find it a tad creepy I'm not really sure why but anyway I took it combined it with the pocketwatch Mam gave me and blurred out Rita making it look ten times creepier.
