Here's another recently completed garden mural. Really enjoyed putting this pop of colour on a bare grey wall to create a more inviting backdrop for this garden space.

This series of murals is the result of over a week's work of painting & several weeks of prep with students & their teacher, Ms Quilter, in St Brigid's School, Killarney.
My thanks to the students & Ms Quilter for their willingness, creativity, & hard work to get this massive project completed!

To artists’ ire, a council poster shows the hands of AI. It’s a good moment for a conversation about local and national policies to ensure state bodies don’t switch out artists for AI, says illustrator Eva Kelly. dublininquirer.com/2...

Really enjoyed painting this on the new platform at Kent Station for Irish Rail. Big shout out to my 4 year old boy and his train set for inspiring this one. Finished just in time for the official opening on Monday!

Studying the #Cork Northern Distributor Road proposals it looks like it will decimate many proposed parks on the northside of Cork city. Murphy's Rock, the North West Regional Park (Hollyhill), North East Regional Park (Glanmire), Lee Fields extension. All get similar treatment. (1/n)

Retrofitting a multi million euro scheme with a wall of planters is still not enough to prevent illegal parking.
The before and after.
New planters put in on MacCurtain street to prevent parking on the footpath.
The second picture shows them after they were moved🤦🏻

Some pics of a recent commission for Scholarlee Cork on the Mardyke. These gates and doors were fairly unsightly beforehand and in need of some TLC. Over the last couple of weeks they've been cleaned, primed, painted, and varnished!

Been meaning to put in a rain barrel for a while but finally getting around to it now. Hoping to use what I collect for watering plants and washing paint brushes. To be installed tomorrow!
