Following on from what I did last year - Scarlet for your Ma, etc, I would like to employ another Dublin phrase in illustrated type form. I will use a combination of spraypaint, signpaint and other paint to create a jungle-esque piece that will bring a splash of colour to the street, and also reinforce a sense of pride in Dubliners' language, and create a sense of inclusive curiosity for visitors to the city.
I graduated from NCAD in 2004 with a BA in Fine Art. I practiced as a painter for 7 years with shows and residencies in Dublin, London, Berlin and Singapore. I moved to commercial illustration in 2011 and also returned to education to study animation in Ballyfermot. I set up my business in 2015
