Found an uncorrected proof of the Hydrogen Sonata, sadly the final Culture novel, in the St Vincent de Paul shop
Lovely album, joint Nyahh/Eiderdown release from Josephine Foster. Gorgeous artwork too
Full collection of beachcombed glass bottles and shoe polish tins
Some other pics from the dunes Orchids, cinnabar moth caterpillars and a nice dandelion seed ball
Further installments in "stuff I find on the beach" an old glass brylcreem jar, more shoe polish and a blue fishing lure
"Across the threshold" - this was something that came out of just applying paint to very wet paper to see what images appeared to form It ended up as an ethereal scene of a robed and crowned figure standing in a doorway as light streams in through the door and stained glass windows
I have a few as well but missed out on a good few - they tended to disappear very fast
Finished this drawing of the bull island/poolbeg chimneys
This is another ink/pastel/colour pencil drawing, for a story about a boy that was always in trouble with his parents for playing with his food, til they realised how much fun it was and started themselves. And then they all starved to death because they played with their food instead of eating it
In the age of streaming its lovely to just randomly catch one of greatest ever star trek episodes on tv
Ink, pastel and colouring pencil drawing i did a while back for an illustrated book idea i was working on
A bee orchid growing in the dunes early this morning. I think that's what it is anyway!

Copy of a 1937 poster for my Nana's dance band "Miss Doreen Power's Dance Band...Dancing at 9pm to 4am"
I remember listening to this CD repeatedly in Inishowen and copying it to cassette to bring home to Dublin. I tracked down a copy after he passed on in 2010 as I'd associated it so deeply with him
