Play the companions

The tutor book is in print and comes out next week.
Here is a film how it looks and sounds.



sketching Willie Clancy Festival

My favorite sketches selected from studies I made on the Willie Clancy  Festival in Miltown Malbay.

Sheela in progress

Went to my favorite shop to get whites and found myself a set of foxes bones. Always liked to make studies of bones.

One of my Shelas from the Gods series : The fear Shela na gig.
You pass threw her portal  by letting go of your fears. Than she will take all your pain and sorrow, everything shitty, the whole lot. No bother. If you concentrate on the eyes you will see your fear concentrate on the moon, you will let go.



The Harp Hinge

This is my solution to the light problem. Certainly on sessions a handy friend.

On the  Ennis Street Festival in 2010 this great picture of me with Cata Isle Mime Theatre was taken by Cigala D’Or.



Clairseach (wire strung harp)

Dun Aengus is a slow air inspired by my visit to the Arann Island Inis More.

Tune The Theatre is an other one of my compositions, which got its name when I played it as the first tune ever played in the new theatre on the official opening of Cultúrlann Sweeney, Kilkee.



work in progress

Workspace with several paintings. I always need to have at least 10 paintings i am working on.

Sketches of seals transforming into Selchie, part of a painting of the burning ship.

The Merman is 20 years old and just recently i decided he wasn’t finished. So he looks like this now. I need to only finish little details here and there and he can go and breath his own air.

4 stages of the Phoenix. Physical, emotional, mental and spiritual. I find the 4 elements in it as well with earth, water, fire and air.

A quite funny one between my so serious work. I called it “Freediving” and everybody liking the water can surely relate to it. I think the pattern of people develops conveniently.

The first set up of a figure in stone.I like particulary the 3 dimensional look of the leg .

Growing wings. the first set up



Dragon

Here is the Dragon. You can print it easily cause it is black and white and fresh it up yourself. If ever somebody tries to sell it to you , should be me. Cheers.

The dragon associated with the number seven.
7 churches on scattery. But some say 11.

Cata Isle Mime Theatre: sneak preview

Cata Isle Mime Theatre’s first solo show combines mime with elements of puppeteering. Poured into sound, light and make believe, it shows you that everything is possible on stage.

A simple object is the cause of many unusual situations, turning into things, creatures and puppets. A series of scenes for young and old, bound together by simple objects: “Buckets”
