LUAS Art Competition Entry- RUNNER UP

So I got a text from my friend Gabriel on 11th October about LUAS Art Competition and decided to enter. I Found the deadline is next day 11pm. Since there is nothing to lose and art is always fun I gave it a go starting with research. Since the title of the competition is 'adding the missing link' certainly a picture of evolution appeared in my mind and also Darwin, will have to fit the old man in this somehow. Most data is taken from Wikipedia and I have found stages of development in LUAS history.

Animation Art Show

Recently I have donated one of my artworks for a charity auction organized by the wonderful animators of Boulder Media.

Following was the message from them:

[Calling all creatives in the Irish Animation Industry. We invite you to submit a piece of artwork to be auctioned in aid of The Children's Sunshine Home & LauraLynn House. We will hold the auction on the 29th of July in the Science Gallery. You can all come along and bid on something you like. You could walk away with a bitchin' piece of artwork all in the name of a good cause.

Deadline for submissions is 18th of July.
If you would like to post your artwork please send them to us here at
Boulder Media,
14 Hawkins St,
Dublin 2.]


It was good to hear the work got sold to some generous buyer and I hope the 'Kendoka' in my painting has found a good home. Here is a snapshot I have stolen from the organizers facebook photos.

Mumeishi's 3

Last year I was commissioned by Mumeishi's Kendo Club in UK. I was asked to do the poster design and few black and white illustration to print on their T-shirt and Tenugui (Head Scarf) for the Mumeishi's 3 Kendo Competition 2011. Since some of these artworks were chosen I thought I should post them in my blog. The one above is the poster and below are the illustrations done for T-shirt and Head Scarf design.

This year I was asked to illustrate few paintings to give the Kendokas with outstanding results in this year's competition. For now I have same black and white illustrations I made for their T-shirt and Tenugui design. I will update this post as other illustrations will be added.
