Dinner with Mr.Lasseter

Had the pleasure of having dinner with John Lasseter ,his family and the lovely people from Disney Ireland, Brown Bag Films and IFTA on Monday night.

John told me he picked up a  copy of the The Secret of Kells Blu Ray in his local Barnes and Noble :)

Thanks to Trish Long for inviting me and to Darragh O'Connell for this nice snap!

Watercolours

Its a bit amazing to me to still be regularly creating Secret of Kells artwork so long after production wrapped.
These are my favourites of the recent commissions and gifts I've painted.
Its very relaxing to create purely painted pieces - no photoshop! 
Theres still a long list of people I've promised to paint something for - please be patient folks!

St.Patricks day in Kilkenny

So ,while I was off in Washington the team here in Kilkenny had a great St.Psatricks day parade.
Christen Mooney who was the voice of Aisling , kicked off the parade dressed as Aisling surrounded by the bugs and bees from the forest.
We also had some cool wolves and Vikings cut-outs too.
Looks like fun , its a pity I missed it.
