Finally! A new submission. This illustration comes in from Brendan O’Rourke, a creative enthusiast with penchants for InDesign, Illustrator and the Big Screen. He created it listening to “I can rock a suit” Janelle Monae’s Cold War album. Speaking on his masterpiece, O’Rourke commented: “ I dunno I’m seeing a lot of spots right now”. I think

Armed with a canvas that’s nearly the same height as me, I had loads of fun with everyone in Twisted Pepper just over a week ago. Painting and dancing to a bass heavy DJ set by Psytori, followed up by Kevin McNally’ and Barry Krishna, this was a really great night. The music was well rounded

I did this painting a couple of weeks ago, one Friday evening after work. I headed up to the studio with my laptop and didn’t have any song in mind to paint to so started flicking through my Downloads folder which is in desperate need of a filing assistant. In it I found the SertOne

A few of my favourite Irish beat makers were readying themselves to embark on a tour called Light Box last month. Ahead of it all kicking off they were busying themselves with promo opportunites, including a recording session in the 2FM Studios. I was kindly asked to participate at this live recording alongside Bantum, Monto,

I did this painting way back in January, at the same gig that I was painting to Lorem Ipsum and The Last Days of 1984. Soil Creep is a two-piece Dublin based band who combine washed out lyrics with tracks that carry an 80s vibe. I love the keys on the tracks. I know it

I did this this evening listening to Plastic Plates remix of Social Studies Body Language. It was done in a very colourful setting, as I had a photographer call over to take some pictures in the studio this evening. We hung up all my paintings to set the scene a bit more…feels real like my

I am in love with all the creative energy that has a stronghold on Dublin. A few weeks ago I joined Loom Studios so that I could have my own space to work in as well as be around other artists. The studios are based in an old textile building and it’s great to see spaces

This painting is entirely inspired by the off-the-wall viral video multi faceted UK band The Bullitts shot for their latest track, Supercool (watch the video below and you’ll get the song about a minute in). The brilliance of this video lies in the cocky and daft/homeless character The Bullitt’s singer/songwriter/producer Jeymes Samuel takes on. He

I had so much fun painting in Twisted Pepper on Saturday night. Thanks to Eleven Eleven for having me…and I hope I didn’t make too much of a mess with all the splashing about I did on stage. I first listened to Lorem Ipsum’s music in September. It’s ridiculous that it took until Saturday just

I got a request in at the weekend for a painting to any Adebisi Shank track. Then I got confused with another message from someone else who I thought was requesting (-_-) because they sent me a link to it, and so that’s why I listened to that track on repeat. It’s not as heavily charged
