Recent commissions

A recent bunch of commissions, including some charity auction illustrations:

These two are in aid of Hogsprickle, a hedgehog charity.

These three were in aid of Cara Rescue Dogs.

 The above two ink drawings will be auctioned off in aid of the Scottish Greyhound Sanctuary

 A portrait of Gus, the English Bull Terrier. Here is a little piece that was written about him: link

Commissioned by Lucy's Lounge, a vintage clothing shop in Temple Bar, these are their resident lurchers, Galaxy and Circus Girl.

And here is a portrait of Zara, Rusty and Boo that a friend of mine commissioned.

This week at the Park

Me and Leroy met a wee girl.

Whenever she petted Leroy he would lick her up the nose.

She kept exclaiming: "He licked me right up my nose!" when he did this, yet kept coming back to pet him again.

Leroy drawing

I sent off another shipment from my print shop last week. This one went all the way to a friend of mine in Hong Kong. I think that's the furthest they've travelled so far.

In any case I included a little drawing of Leroy in with it. While I was writing the thank you note, he just kept circling and circling at my side on the couch trying to make a nest.

I was wondering if I were to make more little paintings, drawings and other originals would there be any one interested in seeing them for sale in my shop? All the recent lifedrawing is up for grabs if there's any people prospecting for that sort of thing. You can email me at eimhinmcnamara@gmail.com to get a quote, based on shipping and the size of the original.

Salty Sea Dog

A little test with salt on a scanner for an upcoming class, used it in the same manner as sand on a lightbox.

I covered the scanner in cling film to try and protect the glass but the salt tends to tear the cling film in any case, so twas not much use. Acetate may be more successful in future attempts.

Leroy

This is Leroy. I've been taking care of him the last few weeks, with the help of LP
