Irish mammals
There aren't many mammals native to Ireland.
The badger is one...
And the pygmy shrew.
I've only ever seen a dead badger. While looking up photos of them I came across this. Maybe if you like badgers and don't want them killed for no reason you could help by signing the online petition.
Marco Master of Disguise
I finished up on this just before Christmas. There were 33 black and white illustrations in total. I think it's due for publication around March so I'll put more up about it then. It's the second of a 3 book series written by Gerry Boland. You can see more about the first one here.
That's what bears do!
I was doing a bit of a clear out and came across these. They were done up last year for a story I'd written. I was happy with them at the time but think I could do a lot better now! I'll add it to the list of projects to be finished!
In a roundabout way they got me the illustration work I've been doing with the O' Brien Press so not a complete waste!

Language Barrier
There were plenty of language mix-ups while we were travelling around Europe. The biggest one being people thinking that my name was 'Onion' and giving me very funny looks! These two might have a bit more difficulty.
Hullo
So I'm just back from a bit of travelling and found out that Marco Moves In has been shortlisted for the Irish Book Awards ...pretty good news to come home to. I hope to update this yolk soon!
One in Four logo
I did these watercolour illustrations for the One in Four logo. One in Four is an Irish charity set up to help people who have suffered from sexual abuse. Their website and logo was redesigned by the Irish graphic design company Red Dog. The paintings below were a bit too detailed for the logo but were my favourites of the ones I did!
Marco Moves In
Just realized that it looks like I did nothing between Christmas and February this year so here is what I was up to. These are a few illustrations from Marco Moves In, a children's book that I was commissioned to illustrate by the The O' Brien Press.
A belated Merry Christmas
Christmas cards for family and friends. Apologies in advance for the terrible puns.
Onions
I did this silly little thing to cheer myself up and it seems to have worked. So, when you're feeling blue, just think of the poor little girl who has an onion for a head.
