Some Timelapse footage:

My little homage to legendary, late, great poet and musician Gil Scott-Heron..Completed over two separate dates due to concerned granny at 0:55 taking photos of all involved and meaning business immediately went to phone the Guards…we bailed! Finally returning a week or so later to finish off…relief!

BUFFED three days later! ;[

Nice little collection of photos in the link below from my good friend and photographer R.H. THANX!

I was kindly asked to do some live painting in the ‘Body and Soul’ area of this years Electric Picnic.

I spent a very enjoyable Saturday afternoon painting in the sun on the two 4ftx8ft boards, good tunes, good company…great weekend!

I recently headed off to paint at the first ‘forbidden fruit’ festival in Dublin.

Armed with my stencils, paint and a pocketful of beer tokens, it was to say the least, a memorable weekend!
