A great weekend in Dublin.

2009-10-12T12:36:00.002+01:00

I had a great weekend in Dublin for the football. T'was a good match at Croke Park (my first time there) a great atmosphere and probably a just result (if a little disapointing) Had a grand day on Sunday also. A wee whistle stop tour round Howth out on the coast. Really great weather and squeezed in a much of the Guinness as I could.

Draw serge in Brazil.

2009-10-12T11:56:00.004+01:00

Got a nice email over the weekend from Jonathan Edwards. To say that his blog had been featured in Brazilian magazine "Gloss Mundo" and that my drawing had been used to accompany the article. It's only a small reproduction but nice enough.

Here is a photo of some of the sketches I've been doing for a recent job and an image of my partners in crime against DJ'ing from Saturday night. Duke Box and Johnny cigarettes.
