Birthday gift for a friend... her D&D character, a pine marten ranger 🏹
I loved doing this one, hit me up if you've got any D&D commissions, especially with animals 😄

Thank you very much to Dr Ronan Kelly for the wonderful words in the Irish Society of Archives Newsletter about my artwork for the 'Fear and Fever' comic (written by Claas Kirchhelle and Carly Colliers) as part of the Typhoidland.org project 😀 the full article is available in the ISA Newsletter.

What a lovely day! Thank you so much to everyone who came along to my historical comics workshops at Dublin City Library and Archive as part of ! 😊 And special thanks to Carly Collier for presenting the exhibitions and archives, and for all her help since the start of my work with Typhoidland - you've been an incredible help and a delight to work with. Sad to see the final workshop ending!

I was delighted to run two successful Heritage Week workshops (ages 12-16) in the Royal College of Physicians 😃 The workshops, 'Exploring the archives: Make your own historical comics' focused on how to create your own comics using real historical sources from the RCPI archive through hands-on exercises.
This was following on from the recent 'Fear & Fever: 14 days of Typhoid in Edwardian Dublin', the graphic novel I illustrated (written by Carly Collier and Class Kirchhelle) as part of the fantastic www.typhoidland.org project.
For anyone sad to have missed it - I'll be back again in a different venue in October! Will announce more details shortly 💭✍️
