Junky Chic

2012-01-13T09:51:00.003Z

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

2012-01-12T09:27:00.001Z

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?

2012-01-11T17:18:00.002Z

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

Shot by Trevor Hart and retouched by Ryan Tehee at Happy Finish.

Print Block

2011-11-12T16:02:00.002Z

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

One last EuroMillions post

2011-10-04T20:49:00.000+01:00

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

Caught a Shark in Kinsale

2011-09-20T19:20:00.004+01:00

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

2011-09-20T19:15:00.002+01:00

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

New project.

2011-08-03T16:56:00.003+01:00

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.

2011-08-03T16:52:00.002+01:00

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.

2011-07-21T16:36:00.002+01:00

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

Flag Design

2011-07-18T09:30:00.003+01:00

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

2011-06-15T13:13:00.002+01:00

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

*The Nenagh Bypass is an unremarkable rural road in Ireland.

And here's the reveal.

2011-06-13T09:45:00.002+01:00

Directed by Brian O'Malley at Red Rage Films.
Copywriter Paddy Treacy.

The teasing worked...

2011-06-10T15:07:00.002+01:00

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

...and radio.

More teasing

2011-05-19T14:23:00.002+01:00

I'm such a tease

2011-05-18T16:49:00.008+01:00

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 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.

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.

2010-04-20T16:38:00.003+01:00

Fine fine illustration by Chris Judge, but nothing new there. I'm not interested in hearing what you think about the radio part of this campaign because I didn't do it.

I'll post the finished ad here soon.

Get me to the church on time

2010-02-24T17:57:00.005Z

Did this ambient piece to promote Smirnoff's Wedding Night event next week.
The Ha'Penny bridge gets a lot of pedestrian traffic so it seemed like a good way to get some attention and direct people to their facebook.com/SmirnoffIreland page.

Seriously?

2010-02-12T16:38:00.002Z

I took this photo in Fallon & Byrne in Dublin.
It can't be a real brand can it?
I'm not googling it anyway...

Tattoo Design

2010-02-05T12:49:00.002Z

I'm a little bit obsessed with old nautical tattoos at the moment.
I think a compass will be next.

Fame & Fortune

2010-02-04T15:56:00.003Z

This is years old but I just stumbled across it and I think it still looks really great. Sadly, I did not go to New York to shoot it.

Ambient Scratchcard Campaign

2010-01-04T12:41:00.006Z

These 6 and 48 sheet posters were all hung where people could reach them to scratch off the top layer and reveal the message themselves, a contractor scratched off the bigger ones bit by bit every couple of days. The video shows him at work revealing the last part of the copy.

Arts and Culture

2009-12-11T14:10:00.003Z

These and some others ran in Dublin airport earlier this year.
Lovely copy from Kevin Barrington.

Are we really still talking about that match?

2009-12-04T10:19:00.004Z

There is an extra Euro Millions draw just for Ireland tonight. So seeing as the FAI are still talking about the France game and the world cup I thought it would be a good time to hijack the front and back pages of the Metro and jump on the bandwagon.

Oldies

2009-12-02T15:03:00.003Z

These are what I used the camera on my iMac for before I started my 400 days portrait.

After seeing Marge Simpson's Playboy cover I wanted to get a Simpsons version of myself done. Since that Simpsonize Yourself website is down I decided I'd do it anyway - the old fashioned way.

Guess who?

Political Cartoon

2008-10-30T10:58:00.002Z

This was a little job I did for Fine Gael in Kildare. I really don't care about politics but it was fun to work on. It's my first (published) cartoon. Bit of a nod to one of my childhood heros Martyn Turner in the illustration style.

Rowing Poster

2008-10-02T17:02:00.003+01:00

I'm not in a rowing club but Roisin is.
She gave me this match book image to make a poster with.
There's something about it that I really like.

Adshel of the Year 2007

2008-07-18T15:58:00.002+01:00

Which was nice.
