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.
