Junky Chic

Fancy shoes are catnip for women. So working with the good folks at Buffalo Dublin, we’ve brought this thought to life. Above is the first press ad. Watch out for the accompanying fashion editorial, currently in development with ShowOff Dublin.

Head Store Card

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that all business cards are eventually used in the construction of ‘interesting cigarettes’. With that in mind, Paddy and I designed this perforated card for The Dublin Head Store.

Will it go to your head?

Paddy and I have created a little campaign for the upcoming ICAD Awards that kicks off this week with the above print ad.

Print Block

PRINT BLOCK is a network for professional textile artists and designers.
Here's the logo I created for them.

One last EuroMillions post

Here's how it looks when it all comes together.

She's Back

Caught a Shark in Kinsale

We (Paddy and I) won a gold shark in Kinsale last weekend for earned media thanks to our EuroMillions teaser press campaign.
Which was nice.

Some Graphic Design

Did this corporate identity and stationary suite for my Dad a while ago.
Planning to replace it sometime soon.

New project.

This a project that Paddy and I have just started.
The plan is to do one a day.
You can see them all by clicking here: The Last of The Mohicans.

Maybe next time.

I'm very sad that Sen. David Norris has pulled out of the presidential election campaign. Not least because I had prepared this poster for him.

They just keep coming.

This campaign is massive, believe it or not there are even more still to be seen.

Flag Design

I designed a flag for the Lough Derg branch of the Inland Waterways Association.
Nice to design something less ephemeral than an ad every now and again.

More adventures

Over the next two years, Irish viewers will be seeing more and more of Peggy and Ted.

The teasing worked...

It got talked about all over the place. On TV...



...and radio.

More teasing

I'm such a tease

This is the teaser campaign that ran in the run up to launching our new EuroMillions work. There was (unbranded) 10" TV and sneaky press ads layed out like newspaper articles specific to the title they appeared in.

The press ads got lots of national news coverage on TV and radio.

It's new...

Upstart Posters

UpStart is a non-profit arts collective which aims to put creativity at the centre of public consciousness during the Irish General Election Campaign in 2011. They plan to do this by reinterpreting the spaces commonly used for displaying election campaign posters in Dublin City and are calling on all artists to submit work for this exhibition. These are the posters that Paddy and I submitted.

The black spots are periods of inactivity, not surprising then that there are some large ones on Friday.

Hooky

Above is the first of three ads that Brian O'Malley directed for Roisin and I featuring George Hook. Below is the brilliant piss take that the Apres Match guys did of it during the world cup on RTE.
