Altar prayer card for the goddess Diana. A rectangular card has a black border with parts of the Orphic hymn for Diana surrounding it as a border in white text. In the bottom right are twin arrows over a crescent moon representing her and Apollo. In the bottom left and top right are white outlined 8 point stars. Inside the border is a marble shockwave black and grey pattern with white outlining that forms an arch at the top with lining to look like columns on both sides. In the middle is a stag skull with painted antlers of a diamond and star pattern. Behind the skull are smaller 8 point stars and cloud ripples. Above the skull is a scraggly branch of queen Anne’s lace with small dots above. In the top corners are two constellations for Sirius as her hunting dogs and Roman numerals for 13 and 8 for the date of the Nemoralia festival.

Victorian Ward - Black and white illustration of a Victorian wall with a scarab ward framed. The border of the whole piece is a torn paper. Inside is Victorian black and white striped wallpaper with damask type filigree in the black and smaller stripes and speckles in the white with small vertical black stripes on either side. In the damask pattern are slightly abstract symbols of infinity, an hourglass and other resurrection symbols. In the middle is an ornate rectangular frame framing a large scarab beetle with its wings out. On its wings are celestial symbols like Jupiter, stars and the moon. Around the scarab are peony flowers and branches of a tree branching towards the top left with a vine white line swooping in an out and around the frame in the same direction. The scarabs body is engraved like metal with filigree. Behind the scarab in the frame is grain shading grey over black.

Dark Vibrations - Inktober 2022 black and white ink illustration. Plain rolling hills lead to the door of a building with a large central spire and a small covered porch. To the left side of the building is a three facet bay windows and the other windows have ornate stained glass. On top of the central spire is a lighting conductor in the shape of a 5 point star. In the highest window of the spire is stain glass in the shape of an eye. Converging at the start is a large vortex spiraling and expanding through the whole sky. The vortex is pulling party’s of the building up towards it and cracking parts of the wood and foundation. The vortex is casting light and highlights on the building and the tress behind it. Converging towards the building is a circle of 12 white bird silhouettes.

We have to penalize blatant lying, particularly by public figures. We’ve slid
into a post-truth world and nothing but sheer cultural gruntwork is going to get us out.

NEW — I dug into the story of ICE abducting a 13-year-old boy in Massachusetts and moving him 500 miles across state lines without notifying his mother, local cop's complicity, and how the federal government's justification for such cruelty is already falling apart:

ICE took a 13-year-old they said had a gun. Local cops say he didn’t.

Now he's detained 500 miles away from his Massachusetts home.

An ethereal digital artwork showing a woman looking upward toward a glowing star in the sky. Her arms are crossed and guarded, yet peaceful. Her body seems to dissolve into light and chaotic energy, surrounded by circular halo-like rings. The colors are soft purples and golds. It has a dreamy, cosmic vibe.

It's #PortfolioDay again! I still have no idea how this is decided, but anyway, but here are four more of my pieces, from various periods, in a range of styles.

I'm a writer and illustrator from Ireland, and I've been drawing pictures professionally for over 30 years, and writing books for 20.

A digitally painted illustration of a male-presenting, light-brown-skinned figure looking up, as we look down from a high angle. He's standing on what looks like a purple tint of tarmac. The skin of his face, arms and chest is filled with hints of human figures, as are his dark hair, his vest, trousers and trainers. There is a circular lens over his left eye, magnifying it, and in the iris, we can see the face of a black woman. The brief was for an image that tried to express the difficulty of trying to define the traits of an individual by surveying large groups of people.

A brush and ink illustration for a national colouring competition. The image is from the original Series of Unfortunate Events, with the evil Count Olaf in the foreground. He's a balding man with a goatee, wearin a suit. He's leaning in from the top, his arms reaching around the borders of the picture, and the three children running across a dry lake bed under a cloudy sky. There's a pre-teen boy carrying a suitcase, a teenage girl early 19th century dress, and holding her hand behind her, a three-year-old girl in a similar style dress.

A digital painting of two figures against a landscape, turquoise oval on a white background. They're facing us over a table top. On the left, a girl in a red top is working on some kind of device set inside a globe, the top half opened like a lid. The figure on the right is a purple and grey, humanoid robot, holding a spanner in his right hand and pointing at something in the globe with his left, clearly offering advice. In front of him is an open, grey toolbox.

The cover illustration for my book, The First Fire of Halloween. It features a púca, the mythical Irish shape-changer, as a muscular human figure with a goat's head. He's standing in a field in darkness, with a fire blazing in front of him. Inset in the dark sky above and behind him are a pair of yellow goat's eyes.

It's got the right feeling now at least. Happy Halloween

Illustration of kids in some kind of future world sitting on a tree made of pipes shooting out fake fall leaves. The are dresses as a pumpkin witch and skull and they look on over a city decked out in full halloween splendor. Right before them though is a cavernous dump filled with refuse of halloween past.
