Kathleen

August 6, 2010 – 3:30 PM

New Presentation Design and CD Design. When initially briefed I was told every song in the show was about emigration (of Irish people around the world). I came back with the idea of telling that story through the different stages: Departure, Travel, Arrival and Life as an Emigrant. For the CD, this structure worked really [...]

Miller, originally uploaded by Alé Mercado. These are other two examples of what I am lately doing with gouache: very limited palettes and flat colours. Hope you like it

Adam & Eve

February 19, 2010 – 10:56 AM

Adam, originally uploaded by Alé Mercado. This is my first attempt to woodcutting. Steven Aylin was really good and took me on a crash course on woodcutting yesterday. It was truly amazing. It was like being a monk a thousand years ago, carving something forbidden. Such satisfying feeling when the ink touched the plates! My [...]

Screenprints for THE MARKET

December 2, 2009 – 10:45 AM

THE MARKET is happening this Saturday 5th December 2009 in the Arts Office Kilkenny County Council. The idea is to offer people affordable art from some really exciting artists. It is a good alternative to the typical market this time of the year as I don’t think you’ll be able to get anything christmassy at [...]

Image in the Background

October 10, 2009 – 10:21 PM

I’ve been asked a few times about the picture in the background in www.alemercado.com I did a large drawing that you can only see fully if you have a 21″ screen or larger. It’s not that good anyway, so you are not missing much. I called it “The Evil Powers of Illustration.”

Lisnavagh. October 2009

October 5, 2009 – 9:26 AM

We spent this last weekend with friends in a place called Lisnavagh. These are a selection of the drawings in my sketchbook. They include reinterpretations of some of the pictures you could see in the sitting room (mostly people making weird faces). A lady. The sitting room (Eve gave me a hand with the painting [...]
