Sun, sex and Ikea.

Tuesday, July 14th, 2009

From Sun, sex and sangria to bills, stress and Ikea.

I’m here over a month now and finally settling in. It’s taking me a while to get into the Spanish mode of life and adapt to the new routines. It feels like I’m getting enough work done even though I have no day job to go to.

It’s hard to accept that I now live here. Permanently. I only ever saw Spain as a place to go for Holidays or to visit my girl but now it’s the real word. Things with her are still deadly and as always in a relationship it moves into new levels. One minute you’re banging on Kev’s couch in Dublin and the next thing you know you’re arguing in Ikea in Spain.

I remember waiting for her in a doctors waiting room and thinking, ‘Wow, we’re a real couple now’.
It’s those things that define a relationship, when all the romance is wrung out like a wet towel and you’re lugging the shopping home from Lidl in the rain, it’s the real deal. For better and for worse I suppose.

Right I’m off to rub one out on the terrace. Thats another sign of maturity, theres a neighbour who comes out topless the odd time and I’m completely uninterested. Far cry from 5 hour daily stake outs back in Tallaght trying to get a glimpse.

RiRa the new Irish language comic

Friday, July 10th, 2009

The first issue of RiRa , the new irish language comic was the first piece of post to arrive here for me. I drew the cover for it and I have 3 pages in it. All bias aside it really is a quality publication, Phil Barrett’s ‘Nicol Og’ is brilliant.

Aidan Courtney the editor and man behind the comic says its going well and I really hope this is the start of something sustainable. Go buy a copy here you bum.

It’s mad though, I know NO Irish which is sad. My views on the way it is taught in school are well known but it really is true. That post is up to 98 comments at the time of writing!

Its Friday so toddle over to SPAZZMOID and see the ultimate Spunk Nugget weapon

SUMMER EDITION

Friday, July 3rd, 2009

Whoops! In all the madness and bragging I forgot to mention Summer Edition. A fantastic event happening on Saturday that I wish I could be there for

“Come along to Filmbase in the heart of Temple Bar, Dublin on the 4th July and partake in Summer Edition 2009, an artists’ book, comic and zine fair. Taking in everything from mini comic artists and burgeoning cartoonists to established book art practitioners, poets to printmakers, lowbrow artists to zine makers it’s a day long celebration of self expression through the medium of DIY publishing. With over 30 exhibitors showcasing work and prices ranging from €1 to €100, there’ll be something for everyone.”

You HAVE to go if you’re in Dublin. The site is here

Nice episode of Unckedy Spunkedy up on SPAZZMOID right now you twit.
