Robot Love

Reflections: China and Japan by Sir William Orpen (1902)




Curiously there are no photos of this painting I could find on the internet. The original is on display in the Hugh Lane Gallery in Dublin.

Edit:I found a photo of the original, finally.

Here Comes Tobor

Tobor is robot backwards. There was a 1950's t.v. show by the name.

Da ding ding

The sub-genre of hip-hop video vixens that cultivate their rears as a career asset. This is hilarious to me. This is the first in a series. Da dingding means big bum in Chinese.

Faulty Towers

Just outside my mate, Daves, house in Sandymount. Spent many nights on the wall outside his house as a youngster gazing at the stars and the towers wondering about the future.

Moon

Night Window

Hey Paul!

American Psycho

On Patrol AD2220

Robot protector patrols the border of the desert and the city after the war.

Mickolas Mickelby

Morning Devil

Duvel is devil in Flemish or somesuch. It has an 8.5 alc. content. Grim reminder of the night before or tempting early start.

Outside Marys

When I was a kid I could get ten-penny bags from a shop called Mary's which is where I took this photo outside of.

Outside Dave's House



Darragh is fast becoming my patron.
Glad it is going to a loving home.

2 Towers

hugh

Half-finished simulacrum of my mate Hugh. Notice the mild disdain for people and life in general on his countenance. Unfortunately I just couldnt capture his essence and this piece remains a work in progress.

That's Me Ma (2)

My daughter Kaisin(age 1) and my wife.

That's Me Da

study of my Dad

Grandad

Kaisins Great Grandmother

Working from a bad photo and having never met the woman, this turned out naff. Had just met my parents in law for first time and felt like insulting the womans memory a bit by turning this bad rendition out.

Kaisins Great Grandfather

An early work in oil. Came out bang on. The stacked corn is meant to represent his hard toiled life behind him. He still went out to the fields with his giant hoe at the age of 85, mind you...........giant hoe.

"Micheal! Watch Out"

2 Angels Sleeping

I Can't See My Brain!

Inspired by a book on philosophy by Ken Wilber that I read in which there was the line " why cant I see inside my brain?" Thought it would make a great painting

Kates Bush

Kate Bushes bushy hair. A constant source of inspiration.
