Avon, the multi level marketing make up thing is only sort of starting here in Spain. This ad was the first time I ever heard of Avon in Spain and it cracks me up every time I see it. Why? Because it is ingeniously honest and sneaky. I’ve seen a few Irish people get suckered into selling [...]

When people ask me how long have I been living in Spain the best way I can put it is… Everything is dubbed here. And there appears to be only 6 voice over artists working in the entire country of Spain. Okay, it ruins art and its goofy but the serious side of this is [...]

My First Cockroach, an icky interactive comic…

11th Mar 13

Spanish television is terrible. I hate Spanish television. There are 5 million Spanish unemployed right now with their brains slowing turning to mush. It’s truly appalling. Besides the twelve minute ad breaks, yes TWELVE minutes of ads, the quality of the Spanish produced television programmes is unbelievably trashy and low rent. The daytime and afternoon slots are [...]

The first of two videos I made with Irish Media production company Media Coop for Tellthefuture.eu starring George Hook and Orla Sheridan, the winner of the competition to find new ways to power the community. I produced all the graphics and animation with sound design by Media Coop.

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 they gave Mister Amperduke a full page shout out!   My only qualm was that they [...]

I just added a new gallery to the Porftolio section for my children’s illustration work.

Phil Barrett is the best Irish comic artist in my opinion, I have followed his work for over a decade now and he continues to grow and refine his beautiful ink technique every time he draws something new. O’Brien Press have just published his new book Where’s Larry? , an insanely detailed cartoon book in the [...]

Fake lego minifigures I have a farily big collection of Lego related images that I started compiling 10 years ago when I started work on my Lego themed graphic novel Mister Amperduke. These are all from Kinder Surprise eggs as far as I know. See here for more fake lego sets Check out my book [...]

Talk to Joe! Joe Duffy is a radio presenter from Ireland. I used to really dislike him; he mumbled and stuttered his way through his show like an amateur BUT I have to admit that after listening to him nearly every day over the past few years he really has become a decent broadcaster and not afraid [...]

Interviews with people looking for Social Welfare in Dublin

21st Jun 12

Thanks to a combined love of 1980′s quiz show Catchphrase, punk pioneers Wat Tyler and the arrival of my time machine video magic maker, I give you this. The song is called Rude Girl and I strongly encourage you to buy it on itunes

This is a game I made in Hype. I wanted to see if I could make a simple HTML5 game without words….and without any programming skills! It plays fine for me on iPhone, Chrome etc but not for others. See if you can make it to level two.

24hr comic day I chose the random title ‘Dangerous Voyagers’ for this 24hr comic day in 2009 and I surprised myself at how many nautical terms I could think of.   I think I neglected to include ‘Swab the deck’ but maybe it’s in there… I love doing the 24 hour comic day challenge, it’s [...]

POUR SCORN…the one that got away. This was a handmade comic that I started  but never finished or released. But I told enough people about it or mentioned it in a few interviews so that I would get a few ‘What happened to Pour Scorn?’ every year. I am a dope. And that combined with the [...]

They say nothing is created in a vacuum but MBLEH! sort of was. After eagerly lapping up Freak Brothers, OINK!, 2000AD, Archie Ninja Turtles in my early teens, I stopped reading comics for years even though I was always trying to make them. From 1996-1998 I didn’t buy a single comic, let alone go into [...]

  The SHIZNIT was a free pocket sized comic that I produced and distributed in Ireland from 2005-2007. It was a crazy experience. I had previously published MBLEH! but was frustrated with the fact that there were only 4 or 5 outlets for it in Dublin and that there was no indigenous comic industry in [...]
