Some of the sketches I’ve done recently while re-reading Grave’s Greek Myths in Majorca.

Hennessy, originally uploaded by Alé Mercado.

New illustration for a personal project. As I am away from my studio I am “forced” to work purely vector… which I have to say I am enjoying a lot.
Hope you like this too.

Summer Inistioge Festival Wall 2011, a set on Flickr.


I was asked to facilitate the "Graffiti Wall" for the Inistioge Summer Festival which happened last sunday 5th of June.

The idea was to develop something that could potentially be hanged in the brand new Community Centre and something that had been created by the children and young people of Inistioge. So I came up with a theme that I thought would be quite playful and created two 6" x 4" drawings in two MDF panels.
On the day of the festival all we had to do is getting people to either colour or leave their own mark in the panels.

The final result was brilliant!

Digital illustration for Elements Exhibition, 15th-30th July, 2011. SCIENCE GALLERY, Trinity College, Dublin

The Science Gallery’s Summer 2011 flagship exhibition is to explore a visual connection between art and science that draws on Dmitri Mendeleev’s iconic periodic table; involving work by artists and scientists, an “in situ” lab and a series of ‘flash workshops’ and demonstrations. The purpose of the exhibition is to develop an exhibition which surprises, engages and entertains visitors and ignite interest in chemistry and physical science.
