I was recently commissioned by Failte Ireland to create two illustrations for their Ireland's Ancient East campaign, specifically the images were to be used to promote two Irish counties in the east and some of the attractions in each on the Ireland's Ancient East Tumblr. I worked with Ryot studios and Tumblr Europe during the process.
The original paintings were created using fineliner pens, watercolours & gouache and posca/gel pens.

Shots of the annotated roughs supplied to the client to give them an idea of my direction for the pieces.
