Pencil drawing of the Water of Leith in Edinburgh. Easy to forget to make art in the face of the systematic eradication of Palestine so while this might look anodyne and apolitical it’s shot through with rage at US and European enabling of the zionist project. Free Palestine

Painted these two horses in a field at the foot of Sliabh Breac because life is grim right now and horses are good for the soul. DM me if you want to raise your spirits for £100 incl Irish/UK postage.

The vast majority of my landscape painting is based on locations within a mile of my front door. This is no exception. ‘Bog Road’, oil on panel, 30 x 30cm.

Up in Belfast to counter protest against a tawdry rent a crowd of fascists. Thankfully we greatly outnumbered and out-sang them. Ironic that it all took place under the frigid gaze of the mother of Empire.

First decent slap of sunlight hit South Armagh towards the end of February. It’s wild how the sun transforms the dull grey-greens into a hotbed of sultry pinks and peachy oranges. The first landscape of the year is of a drainage ditch in heavy late afternoon shadow.

At today’s protest outside the US consulate in leafy south Belfast where the speakers not only castigated the orange menace for his promotion of the ethnic cleansing of Gaza but also drew attention to his increasingly unhinged pronouncements about Ukraine.

These are the Sins of Belfast, put beyond use by fire and encased in wax, the tangible result of my installation The Sin Eater which asks visitors to write an account of something of which they are ashamed and to cast it as a secret ballot which I subsequently destroy, freeing them from their shame.

I was a teenage punk rocker. Also a teenage screenprinting apprentice. I was given this last night. I haven’t seen a copy of this poster for my teenage band Comfort Kills, which I made in Mournecraft as a first year trainee, in over 43 years. You can almost smell the teenage edgelord off it.

This is a work from the start of lockdown. I was self isolating in a derelict house (long story) and had no access to art materials so I started stripping hazel rods to form energy channels. Posting this because this is a theme I’m currently revisiting.
