Self Portrait - Dada

Absolut Alice

Absolut Alice. A nod to fantasy films that pull you into their universe and test your sense of reality.
The first of three designs under the theme "Todays Theatre".

Self Portrait 3/3

Self Portrait 2/3

Self Portrait 1/3

The first of three self-portraits. This piece questions our instantaneous stream of consciousness. A visualisation of what we see but may not take notice of. What does our sub-conscious see?

Guitar Design 3

Guitar Design 2

I've decided to continue with some more guitar designs since the Strat design. I love Fender guitars so I will continue with Fenders for now, next will probably be the Jaguar, the Mustang and maybe the Offset (Though it does look a little too much like an Ibanez for my taste). With this piece I took the look from luggage cases that have found their way across the world, in films they always seem to be covered in stickers and stamps and whatnot (Needless to say I love that Look).

Dolce Vita

This is a little piece I did for my friend, Eda. The term Dolce Vita translates to 'Sweet Life". I was asked to do this while a large group of us were intoxicated in a forest. I wanted to pose a visual question about a hedonistic lifestyle that so many young Irish people follow. In this piece I show a seeker of momentary pleasures and wonder if these physical gratifications (sex, drugs and alcohol) really benefit us. If we have all these luxuries at hand, do we become better or is it a repetitive act in degradation? 

Birdthistle

Some concept work I created for a band in my hometown. They blend rhythmic elements of Traditional Irish music with melodic and memorable aspects of Rock. I used such maximalism with this particular portrait (other than the fact that I love a piece one can explore) to create a visual representation of Birdthistles heavily layered sound, Eg Guitars, bass, mandolin, keys, synth, harmonica. The overall goal was to use rather traditional imagery to create a contemporary piece. To check out the band just follow these links;

Acid-House

I found a very old book at my friends house called "The Agony of Ecstasy". An autobiography of someone during the Acid-House scene in Dublin in the early nineties. It tells how he became addicted to ecstasy and LCD and his eventual turn around. I read a bit out of curiosity and quickly found that it was poorly written and could only imagine that it was published for paranoid mothers. I found it so entertaining that I was inspired to do an Acid-House piece.
