# About me
A 35 year career immersed in the graphic design industry had fed my creative ambition, trained my eye and nurtured my imagination, however it’s demands had starved me of any opportunity of becoming what I’d really a passion to be – a professional artist. Over the years the infrequently executed painting fed my addiction until 2008 when at last, creative passion overcame commercial logic – and I followed the dream.I’m a self-taught artist, continually enjoying each new challenge. An encountered problem by its nature creates a question and the greatest satisfaction is working out the answer.

Great work.
thanks for the kind comments.
You're right about the Irish, Great Grandmother. She lived till she was 99 - amazing woman.
The thorns made me laugh, I tried something similar in college

Your comment 'Great work' is very generous. I just spent far too long with a bottle of wine and your site perusing a feast of jaw dropping work. So for this aspiring artist I'm humbled. I'm a 53 year old Dublin fart living in the stunning surrounds of Enniskerry, Co Wicklow (when were you back to visit your routes last?).
I'm smilingly jealous of your work - I dreamt of exploring art in the quirky way that you do since I was a 14 year old. It took almost 40 years for me to eventually pursue my 'calling'. I started to retired from commercial graphic design about a year ago and finished in April this year to follow my artistic nose. I've been trying to build up a portfolio of work since then. Self taught and scavenging for scraps of knowledge - painting in the dark - but loving every minute.
Ouch! very late - time for the z's

I played in an Irish Folk band for a while up until I got married. We played in the Irish dance championships in Ennis. My family was from Cork city, but I didn't get a chance to go there. We also played in Dublin on the way back.
The highlight of the band was playing a 2000 seater venue with the Cheiftans, WOW!
I worked as an illustrator also.
Your compliments on my work are very kind.
Real glad to meet you!

hey mate, hope you enjoyed your visit to my site
you truly have talent with the brush. I prefer the pencil, but I'm just now getting into digital art. Watch for a link, man, I got my digital rendering software for free via a link on DeviantArt. Maybe that can help you get started... actually really easy to use, too. Take care!

many thanks, however I'd love to be able to do a bit of magic with a wacom and my mac - not as messy as paint I suspect and those annoying mistakes can be easily fixed.
I enjoyed my peruse through your gallery - your boys look like great fun they age frighteningly quickly, my youngest went from 8 to 18 in seconds or so it seems.
(I haven't worked out how to add the emoticons yet) so - may the force...
