Stillorgan always reminds me of the weekends spent at the local GAA club on the sidelines watching my brothers hurling and Gaelic football matches. The only true way to convince me to come was to get an ice cream afterwards from stillorgan shopping centre .
Stillorgan has a neighbourly feel to it full of community and warmth and it will always feel nostalgic. The cartoon playful style allows the artwork to be enjoyed by everyone in the surrounding residential areas and gives a nice nod to the family and childhood feeling Stillorgan captures so well.
I am from Blackrock and have lived there all my life. I go to college in NCAD studying illustration and am going into my final year hoping to pursue art and design as a full time career.
