Artwork for CD cover - The Hill of Tara by Danny O Flaherty

I was idling away on the Internet lately ,when lo and behold, I read about artwork on a CD cover by Helen Gavigan from Galway ! A twin...this I had to know more about. When I searched for the artist , - what I came up with was a CD cover with artwork done by myself for an American man..Danny O Flaherty,.who had asked me to do an image on The Hill of Tara, for a collection he was thinking of doing.

I came across the original image only lately in a pile of old work, and just about remember e-mailing him a copy of it . I didn't even know it existed, - I would love to get a copy of it sometime ....so Danny O Flaherty...if you're out there...

It took me weeks of clearing, lifting, dumping, sorting, dusting, painting, nailing , glueing, buying and more, to make it ready to move my things into, but it was so worth it , because now at last, I have my own studio space. It's one good feeling to be able to walk in to a work space, and everything is just as it was when I left it. I started working on a hubcap as a metal surface for an artpiece....

Community Arts - Dublin Zine Fair, Ranelagh Arts Centre. Handmade Cards.

Free Community Event Here is an excerpt from a publication in The Irish Times re our Zines Fair in August 2011, from an interview done with Sarah Bracken , our artistic director. ...."Zines are self-produced publications. Most often, they were made by hand and duplicated using a photocopier. Print runs were short and the aesthetic was a DIY one: cut-and-paste typography, own photos, and a general disregard for publishing etiquette. Zines have been ubiquitous here since the 1970s, peaking in the late 1980s/early 1990s, but there is still a dedicated scene today. This weekend the first annual Dublin Zine Fair, organised by Sarah Bracken, takes placeat the Ranelagh Arts Centre. “I have been going to the London Zine Symposium for the past few years and felt that we really needed one here,” says Bracken. “Having a fair in London has made the scene grow and has inspired so many people to make, or seek out, independently produced publications, so we hope that happens...
