Christmas 2009

My apologies if you didn't get a card from me this year - it's not because I don't love you anymore. Things got really busy towards the end of the year and I just didn't get it together in time to send out widely. Here's my effort from 2009:

Irish 24 hour comics day


On 9th/10th October in the Central Hotel Dublin, the annual Irish 24 hour comics day kicks off a week later than everywhere else in the world but is none the less for it. I'll be there and a bunch of other folk besides. More details on the where and what and so on here while the Facebook group is here.

There's a corresponding anthology comic available on the day which, if it's anything like last year's promises to be one of the better anthologies of the year. The theme this year is '5' - didn't manage to get my effort in on time so it's here instead:

Rí-Rá agus Ruaille Ruaille

Rí-Rá is an Irish language comic primarily aimed at the kids in which I've done a 'Nicol Og' strip for a couple of issues now. Nicol Og or 'Young Nicola' is actually the same character from the 'Touched' strips that appear on the blog occasionally. Rí-Rá is a top class little package - well worth a gawk whether Gaelic lingo enabled or not.

gentle hulk

2D festival last weekend was a very good ol buzz all in all. I even managed to inveigle some more original artwork out of Luke F in the form of this here Hulk (see first bit here). In the spirit of the festival he was dashing off sketches at a rate of knots. This lad is an easy bet for future comic super stardom. Pure class.

Threes

Cliodhna Lyons, Maeve Clancy and myself put together an A6 mini to shill around the various cons and fairs this summer - next stop Derry 2D on the June 6th closely followed by the Point Village Market on June 12th. The cover design features an overlaid drawing by each of us while the content stories (without much previous consultation) are serendipitously unified.

2D Gallery Appearance and New Book

As a bit of a precursor to this year's 2D comics festival in Derry from 3rd - 5th June there is an exhibition of Irish Comic Art in the Void Gallery till the 4th June at which I have a couple of pieces. More details on the flyer:




I'll be at the festival on Saturday 5th June at which there should (hopefully) be the launch of 'The Human in Me', a 60 page collection of my short strips. There are over 20 pages of new material and any stories that have appeared before are out of print so if you missed Matter #11, Matter #9, Matter #3 or Lint - the cream of which is herein.


P.S. It'll be up for sale on the website very soon.
