There’s a rake of new authors kicking off their stints on Culch.ie, where I also reside. Of course you can skip all of them and go straight for my entries, but I’m a generous sort so I would encourage a gander around and leave a comment, let us know you’re out there!
I designed this week’s flyer for Soundcheck. Every week they’re asking a different artist to design that week’s flyer. This week they’re showing Troll 2 with cupcakes and popcorn before Galway’s own Disconnect Four take over the decks!
Some of my caricatures from a recent wedding in the Vienna Woods Hotel, Cork.
Here’s a recent signing board that winged its way to Leitrim.

Eircom has decided to block its customers from accessing Pirate Bay from the 1 September. I don’t use the site, I’ve never even visited the site, and have ambigous feelings about file sharing, but I will not be dictated to by Eircom as to what I can and can’t access.
I rang Eircom today and told the customer service rep that if this goes ahead I’m gone, as are a number of people I know.
I always treat decisions like this as the thin end of the wedge because they usually are. Eircom has rolled over at the unchallenged behest of record labels, and that stinks to me as if I’d trod in dogshit in Salthill. So not only will Eircom be losing me as a customer, I’ll be actively encouraging other customers to drop them too.
BT and UPC are two alternatives I’ll be looking at. Actually I don’t think BT will get my business either as I’ve just spotted Tom Dunne is endorsing it.
Twenty Major, Damien and Adrian Weckler are also discussing it.
