Friday Cartoon: Supervalu Páirc

by
Two panel cartoon on the Páirc Uí Chaoimh SuperValu Páirc Controversy. First panel depicts a black and white caricature of Pádraig Ó Caoimh. In the second panel is the same figure of Pádraig Ó Caoimh, but a white plastic bag with the name of a supermarket chain has blown on to his face.

Wild Atlantic Way Wedding!

wild atlantic way wedding

This caricature was for a Wild Atlantic Way-themed wedding and was a gift from one of the guests! There are signposts for Douglas and Monkstown showing where the couple are from. There are flags for Croatia and Abu Dhabi to signify events from the couple’s lives. The bride is very into make-up, candles and handbags and loves Cork GAA so I have incorporated these as well. The groom plays golf and loves Leinster rugby and Aston Villa, both of which I have incorporated here too!

My wedding signing boards are 40x60cm canvas prints on a wooden stretcher prepared by the canvas experts in The Canvas Works in Kinsale. I ship anywhere in Ireland and marker pens are included. I am now taking signing board orders for 2022 so don’t delay as slots are limited!
