Untitled, a photo by denise nestor on Flickr.

for dad

She will kill me for it , but I dont care.
When I met Denise at the Tinderbox Picture Show that the founder member Clare curated back in 2010, I knew I had met a woman whom I would like to know better. (alongside my dote Elida, Clare, Damien ,and all the others on that lovely evening.).........but I never met her again as she lives too far away :(

Her work is so rich, it is so beautifully constructed.
This new piece made me cry this morning.......art is a place for us to make a difference.
Thank you Denise for doing this work.

Miranda July's Tribute to Extras

Ever wonder what becomes of film extras? Are they forever people in the background who have been watched but never seen? This clever series of photographs by Miranda July puts those very people centre stage. She re-shoots herself as all the forgotten cast members from famous films. Re-dressed, re-posed and remembered.

Hello everyone.. here are a couple of pieces I've been working on.. the first is one for my sister here in London, that one is finished, and the second one is for another sister, its from a photo she took in Palestine, and its a surprise for her birthday, so I'm hoping she likes it!! I'm finding it hard to get the colour of the sheep right, they seem to be coming out a bit bright yellow but I want it to be duller..so going to take a bit of time to get it right..

'A little preview'

Dear Tindersboxers,
My apologies for zero response in the last six months as I've been extremely busy.
I really like the idea of showing some work in progress, so here I am.
I began a mentoring program in June with Ruth Le Gear, The Firestation artists studios and ADI in Dublin.

This was an amazing opportunity to access and condense my practice. We've decided to put a book together on my work and show the creative, visual process of the mentoring program which will be published by December.
Here is a little preview, it's a photo from one of our meetings at The Science Gallery in Dublin, during the exhibition 'The Beauty of Chemistry'.
I'm very excited about putting together a book on my work, so I thought I'd share it...... Thanks. Kathy

Rob Ryan interview

Here's a rare interview (and even rarer glimpse into his process) with Rob Ryan.

Baby I’m Yours - Breakbot

Here's a pretty cool hand-painted watercolour animation by Irina Dakeva and her team which took three and a half months and over 2000 individual paintings.

Work in Progress

Hi All! Encouraged by the recent influx of works in progress, I decided to show you all mine. I'm building up a body of work entitled The Invisible Circus at the moment, and this is my most recent sketch. I don't have a working title on this, but when it is all done and dusted, I shall upload the finished piece.

Breaking Bad

I've been very lazy of late both doing new stuff and posting on here, so here's a drawing I did in Photoshop of Walt from Breaking Bad. I added the watercolour splashes to hint at the violence in the show and I also like the texture in the blue splash as it looks a bit like a chemical reaction. And of course he cooks blue crystals!

He has such a great face for drawing, great lines and full of character.

Vibrant idea...

The residency is open to artists–based anywhere but Paris–working in all mediums, be it drawing, installation, photography, video, sculpture, painting, performance, writing or other.
We look for curious and open-minded artists who value engaged research as well as an exciting artistic outcome, and who have an interest in working in and with contemporary Paris.
The invited artist is free to work in any way s/he wishes, as long as the work relates to or deals with the city–and more specifically Paris–as a subject.

Residency provides: a 15m2 studio apartment in Paris 15th arrondissement (hosting one artist). 
Residency period: November 20, 2011 – December 20, 2011
