For the Cavan Fleadh Cheoil na hEireann, a friends dad is part of a comedy sketch based on a typical Cavan kitchen in the 1950's, which needed to be advertised via posters and a billboard.
After a few sketches, this was the chosen layout/drawing. The background was later modified (drawing was scanned and then coloured in on Adobe Illustrator and openCanvas to anyone interested)
8x4ft billboard... finally finished!
Taking a sneak preview in Cissys Kitchen before it's opening...
It was cool bumping into these signs! There is a number of them hung around Cavan town directing towards the venue.
Pesky kids, get off ma damn sign!
On top of the billboard and advertising posters, 1000 business cards were printed and left in the kitchen. Huge, huge, HUGE thanks to 'Mick' for the interest and trust and to 'Cissy' for the kind words! I called into the kitchen during the Fleadh and it was almost impossible to walk around inside and outside-- proving the show was a success! Well done guys!
Alongside the above, one of the creamy cans was painted for a collection for Self Help Africa
And not to forget Granny Annies late fifth husband who she couldn't bear to bury, so she had him stuffed, mounted, and placed in the kitchen.
Imaginative & Conceptual Illustration assignment based on the Happy Journey project-- choose an epitaph, base your coffin on it, and voila! I chose a famous Osho quote (post title) which, to me, reeked of outer-space and the Hindu religion.
Last minute gift for my brothers girlfriends birthday (stupid me spent more time thinking about a costume rather than a present, durr). The girl on the left is her younger sister who passed away last month.
The lady who commissioned this has never had a photo of her parents together (father now deceased). One photo of her mother and two of her father were referenced, here's hoping she likes the finished result!
An old canvas painted over. I'm not particulary a fan of Hendrix but he makes for an excuse to do a fast colour-dy background!
