I’m a painter, writer, coach, mentor and occasional actor. I paint minimal, contemplative work - mainly on paper, mainly in ink. I want to create calm , connection, contemplation and to celebrate nature. I seem to have ended up with strong Japanese influences.

I’m based in Ireland, and my politics are radical, embracing compassion, care, and equity.

Looking to connect with creatives and kind minds.

Inspired by a visit to The Seven Churches on Inishmore, this Celtic cross stands among rocks and grass under a night sky. A nod to Ireland’s deep-rooted traditions, where the past and present blend. What Irish places or traditions have touched you? ☘️

There’s something magical about a sunny morning after the rain. The world just feels fresh and full of possibility. This Dublin print captures that moment, bringing a little sunshine to your day (and wall)! 🌞

There’s something about city streets at night, the glow, the energy, the stories unfolding. O’Connell Street in Dublin has it all. Wistful sigh!

Do you have a favorite city to wander after dark? Bonus points if it's Dublin. 😉💚

#Dublin#Ireland#Art

Back at the very beginning of January I mentioned¹ I'd stumbled across Han Hogan, one half of the artist duo "Namaco" behind "Mega Dreoilín"² ³, considered by one critic as:

...one of the best Irish artworks of 2024 so far... incredibly engaging, brilliantly designed, sophisticated in its form and execution, and unexpectedly moving.

Han is a dynamo! She's been working with Donal on a new artwork/game/commentary:

...a video game about the Irish economy: why we have found ourselves here and where to go next. Specifically it looks at the idea of neocolonialism by multinationals who don’t pay taxes etc - and the wider effects on people’s lived reality in Ireland.

This work will be part of a group exhibition, "Liquid Urbanisms"⁴, at the Lab Gallery in Dublin city centre from Friday 14 March to Thursday 24 April 2025.

OldBytes Space - MastodonAmin Girasol (@fluidlogic@oldbytes.space)Attached: 2 images Most intriguing conversation unfolding at https://touch.adverts.ie/other-computers/computers/35853721 > So I’m part a video game making duo, our next exhibition is in the Lab gallery from March. It’s a video game about the Irish economy, why we have found ourselves here, and where to go next. Specifically it looks at the idea of neocolonialism by multinationals who don’t pay taxes etc - and the wider effects on people’s lived reality in Ireland. We currently have a video game called Mega Dreoilín which is in the museum of literature for the next few months. Anyway I need these for the ‘set’ that I’m building up for the video game, it’s going to be the bedroom of a 90s hacker, they type of person who would have set up Pirate Bay etc. I can guarantee that I’ll give this to you after. But if you don’t want to go down that route then it’s fair enough if we continue the bidding.

A classic view of the Cliffs of Moher in Ireland - which looked quite different to this on the overcast winter day that I got to see them. Although they were still an amazing sight.
