The lovely lads from the Comic Cast asked me to put a piece into a Christmas Show they were putting on in the Twisted Pepper. The theme was ‘Just what I always wanted’ and here’s what I came up with.
There’s 24 Fish in the Sea is a short comic I did for the 24 Hour Comic Day Anthology.

The Earth is a bit like this Blue Dot. A book of general musings about human evolution and the problems associated with consciousness.
Really though, its just some black and white line drawings and some blue dots stapled together. It comes in a handy size of about 14 x 14 cm.
Brains or cockroaches - who would win in a doomsday scenario?
“I’d like to thank my brain” for all human success and suffering
This is a book I made at the end of 2008. I have showed it in a couple of exhibitions (Winding Stair Bookshop and Across the Way Studios Christmas Show). Each page is a real building in Dublin.
A bunch of Cardboard Press handmade notebooks made during 2009. Most of them were sold at various fairs and markets.

My mate, Liam Tyrell, and I put together this little page for Drop-d’s end of year sum up. Fun collaboration. Click on the image for the larger version.
See you all in the new year!

…you burned my croissant again!
Here’s a piece I recently did for the Bernard Shaw’s Christmas Exhibition. It’s framed and hanging in the pub/cafe of the same name at the end of Camden Street with a retouched “Lets Meet Nervous Danny” (from the pages of Stop Gap) and should be there for another week or so. Loads of great work on display from the likes of Brian Coldrick, Alan Clarke, Chris Judge and tons more. It’s an honour to be in such lauded company.
Anyway, right now I’m off to the UK for a few days to rock out at ATP. Seeya!
I see Liam has posted up images from “Just What I Always Wanted: An exhibiton of Irish comic book art” that’s going on in the Twisted Pepper this and next week. I was walking down a packed Henry street the day after I agreed to put something into this exhibition and these two kids weave past me on girls bike, way to small for them. I just couldn’t get the image out of my head the pure mischief in their eyes. Anyway here’s a photo of my piece. Two little urchins make off with a poor girls new bike, just what they always wanted eh? Go figure.
Anyway, the launch is on Thursday from 8pm. Come on down, have a beer and marvel (pun intended) at how Salvo’s piece puts every other one of our shoddy shitmuncher’s efforts to shame.
