Heh folks, , so, its been along time since the first post, since then I've completed a couple of adds and 8 eps of Skunk fu on color bgs (righteous crew, cheers to all) to help finish up the production.

Also did a swiss army knife job on a short film for Kavaleer in Dublin, art direction, stbs, layouts, painted bgs, you name it. phew!

Recently I've had a most welcome break from insane deadlines and staring into the machine back in the welcoming freckled bosom of my native Mayo. Nephin to one side, Crogh Patrick to the other. Absolutley no reason to complain.

Currently Im working on small oil paintings and the endless task of completing images on my hard drive. So this is where im going to keep posts as an archive of development.

Most of which are for sale as origionals and prints, hint hint.

Ps, wurd to all the eminently silly peeps I had the priveladge to imbibe with in Kilkenny last wknd. keep fighting the good fight. right, well, thats more than enough schpiel outta me.
laters.

pps, piss poor artists nabbing a copy of my work is fine by me. people using my work for commercial purposes is a big no no. word to the wise.
