“Products of the Environment Which We Represent”

Proposed sketch for a piece to be spraypainted in town to promote Irish rapper Costello’s album launch on the 15th of March in the Twisted Pepper.

Looks a bit bare here as the text was going to be handled by another artist.

Fell through in the end. Ah well. I hear there’s another piece being painted shortly in another part of town to promote the gig, in a more street art style to this cartoonist’s effort I think.

I have more of this kind of thing coming up in the future if all goes well, so the prep for this piece was a good way to get my head around getting something from page to wall.

RISEN FROM THE DEAD!

‘Let Us Rise!’ piece from Occupy Dame Street which I assumed was in some skip is alive and well and living on Dame Street once more! Looking a bit rough but keeping tough.

Lugs Branigan

Less-than-half-finished version of an illustration of famous/infamous Garda Jim ‘Lugs’ Branigan, a controversial character in Dublin’s history. The closest thing to a Dirty Harry Dublin has ever had, Lugs made a name for himself while taking on Dublin’s Animal Gangs (tribal groups of young lads from the city who made a Clockwork Orange look like a documentary) in the 1930′s.

Drawn for an article written by my brother Donal (of Come Here to Me fame) for Rabble Magazine issue 2, an excellent free magazine which will be available for free very shortly in spots around the city and beyond. Check it out to find out a bit more about this divisive character and to see the finished drawing.

Sketches from the wee months of this year. I’m sure there was a reason behind them.

Unfinished

lukefallon1929 — Sat, 10 Dec 2011 21:07:02 +0000

Pages from a book which was finished in my head, but unfinished physically. Learned a good bit from doing it, but I lost interest and I stopped feeling connected to it. I’ve posted these pages on my old blog but I want to have some pen-and-ink on the new page. Stopped working on another book about a year ago as well. Haven’t posted any of those pages but one or two are worth scanning up.

Currently working on two or three other long form ideas. Some pages done. Interest not lost in any (yet).

“The Faceless Ones…”

Luke Kelly

Gave myself ten minutes after listening to Kelly’s ’For What Died the Sons of Róisín’ to draw a whole piece from scratch. Not overly happy with the result. The spacing of the letters is completely off and I think I might have gone a bit too subtle with the minimalist imagery, but it was an interesting little exercise* and it gave me a few ideas for more finished pieces in the future.

*Any exercise that keeps me from proper exercise is good exercise.
