“While I loved my travelling years I carried much more of a burden than the weight of Blue Bag on my shoulder. At the tender age of 17 I discovered that an Englishman abroad has much to prove to the world.”

Dublin GPO 1916 and Cars!
This caricature was for a wedding signing board last year. The groom is a big history buff, especially around 1916 and the GPO, so the GPO featured in the background! I don’t think I’ve drawn the GPO before in one of my caricatures. This A3 colour caricature was mounted on A1 board and displayed at the drinks reception of the wedding. The wedding guests signed their names and best wishes around the outside of the drawing. These signing boards are a wonderful keepsake for a wedding and I’d be delighted to hear from you if you’re looking for an unusual alternative to a wedding guestbook. They can be customised any way you like, I can include pets, hobbies, careers, children, and historical buildings! If you’d like to contact me just leave a comment below. You can also email me or Whatsapp me from the menu above.
Hospital Worker Surprises Patients with Caricatures
There’s a nice story on BBC News about hospital worker Edwin Andaya, who’s been drawing simple cheerful caricatures of patients on whiteboards in their rooms. It seems to be a nice surprise for the patients. Good work Edwin!
Leaving Gift Caricature for Tool Maker Limerick
This caricature was commissioned for a work colleague in a company in Limerick. It was printed on canvas and signed by everyone before he left. The client emailed me photos of him and the Hurco machine he worked with (I have no idea what it does!) and then the artwork was scanned and printed on 60cmX40cm canvas by The Canvas Works printers in Kinsale.
