Spotted in Ballincollig today. One of the new digital kiosks being rolled out across Cork to replace some of the old phone boxes. It's main feature is the 1m x 2m led advertising screen. As if we didn't have enough clutter on our streets.

"In 2023, a study was carried out on behalf of Cork City Council’s Climate Action Unit which found 92% of participants wanted more parks, biodiversity, and green spaces in Cork City: 89% wanted more trees on city streets."

It's good to see Bishop Lucey Park open again and there are some nice elements but overall it's rather charmless, cluttered and over-engineered. Strap yourself in for a rollercoaster ride of a thread (1/n)🧵 #Cork

Parts of the Regional Park in Ballincollig look like a mangrove at moment with large areas flooded. Might need to invest in a pair of waders for the weekly walk.

My buddy James and I will be turning this space into Cork City’s newest comic book shop, HD Comics. As central to Cork City Centre as you can get.
If you’re looking to sell some comics, send me a DM. Opening in the next few weeks.

Here's another recently completed garden mural. Really enjoyed putting this pop of colour on a bare grey wall to create a more inviting backdrop for this garden space.

This series of murals is the result of over a week's work of painting & several weeks of prep with students & their teacher, Ms Quilter, in St Brigid's School, Killarney.
My thanks to the students & Ms Quilter for their willingness, creativity, & hard work to get this massive project completed!

To artists’ ire, a council poster shows the hands of AI. It’s a good moment for a conversation about local and national policies to ensure state bodies don’t switch out artists for AI, says illustrator Eva Kelly. dublininquirer.com/2...

Studying the #Cork Northern Distributor Road proposals it looks like it will decimate many proposed parks on the northside of Cork city. Murphy's Rock, the North West Regional Park (Hollyhill), North East Regional Park (Glanmire), Lee Fields extension. All get similar treatment. (1/n)
