God bless my mac because this video file would never open on my pc, I took this video clip 5 years ago in Swords on a shitty phone but could never open it. Below is a screen grab. read more...

Fly sex

It’s chilly here in sunny Spain and all the animals are dying off with the cold. I’m sad to see the little lizards struggle. My studio was plagued by flies last week, but they were all dopey and slower than normal. So I managed to smush a fair few in the air. They also sat more still [...] read more...

The Cult of Lego Book

I was surprised to find this massive hardcover book in my post office box last week. The Cult of Lego by John Baichtal and Joe Meno is a new book that covers the history of Lego and the many offshoots of the medium. Packed full of photos and details I never knew about our beloved bricks. And [...] read more...

Terry Willers

Terry Willers passed away last week. The legendary cartoonist and illustrator died in his home on November 9th, aged 76. I had the pleasure of working with Terry for about a year, I used to colour and adapt his illustrations for use in the giftware industry. I would constantly be amazed at how many ideas he [...] read more...

El Libro Gordo

I bought 25 issues of this, El Libro Gordo. A four page (including the cover) magazine that kids could buy in kiosks. That cute little fellow Petete appears on every cover. The inside pages, all three of them are corny. Mostly illustrations of historical costumes. If anybody has any scans of Sugradh etc, the Irish [...] read more...

Switching to Mac from Pc pt 3

When I was 17 I used to work installing aquariums in people’s houses. It was only for a few months while the pet shop was being built so I was tasked to help the fish dude. On hearing this my Dad gave me some sage advice. “Son, when you’re working in people’s houses. DON’T steal [...] read more...

The Astrosniks

I found this book before the summer. Astrosniks: Snik contra Snik. I’m sure I saw them before back in Ireland. I was always a Smurf nut and we would always find similar figures like Astrosniks and those little clowns with the white faces. But obvious cash in aside, the book is actually good. The artwork [...] read more...

Continuity errors in TMNT cartoons

As mentioned in the Official The Thing Prequel comic, I hate people who get a boner spotting continuity errors but I have found the absolute pinnacle of this pointless exercise. Some nutjob has documented every error in the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoons. Which were made in Dublin by the way. He has disabled embedding [...] read more...

Caught on the 56A in Tallaght and Jobstown wallpaper

I found this and other gems when transferring everything over to the mac. I was so whacked out when this appeared in the Tallaght Echo in 2003 ago that I actually contacted them trying to get a retraction or some free ad space. The whole thing is alien to me now, getting a bus everyday, [...] read more...

The Nazis came to Murcia

What a shock it was to see a battalion of fully armed German soldiers marching around town yesterday. I didn’t know about the Operation Market Garden re-enactment. It was brilliant, I got to stand about 15ft away from the action. There were great pyrotechnics going off here and there. read more...
