It’s been a busy few weeks, here’s myself and fellow cave dweller Tommy Donbavand showing PJ Lynch how to paint. If it wasn’t for us stepping in he never would have finished this painting at The Mountains to Sea Festival.

There was a live Open Studio event at my studio last Friday as part of Culture Night. So I had to tidy up…

The technology worked, hurray! Children tuned in virtually from Sligo, Belfast and Dublin.

I really enjoyed it. There was a lot of behind the scenes practicing in the week leading up to it. I showed the Ravenous Beast DVD live on air, showed some slides, my notebooks and sneaky doodles.

Viewers got to see around my studio and then I did a live chicken drawing session, as you do! The hardest part was as I could not see the audience, it wasn’t a two way thing. But the feedback and drawings were brillo.

Here are a few pictures that the kids drew after following my step by step live drawing of Marge the chicken. Fantastic!
