I am just over half way through a graphic adaptation of an epic Irish medieval eco-fable. I've about 12-18 months left on it. I'd like to focus more on the lost habitats/sepsis, but that will come. The writer is great to work with. I've learned to love green 💚 in all its shades

Lynchseachan and Sweeney sit on a bench, each with their hands clasped, both spectators in a game of Hurling (out of sight). Sweeney's hands and fingers take the form of raven's feathers. Five early Irish, medieval, horsemen ride bareback, through a richly green temperate rainforest.

Gouache painting of a comic panel from WIP comic Sweeney's Progress. Am finding peace in the process of making at a time when people living with disabilities are having their lives upended again & when the rightwing press snaps at the heels of another of society's scapegoats.
Ink line and Gouache painting of a woodland scene. The trunk and bark of a large tree is to the left of the picture. It is painted white with pale blue shading and green moss at its base. The foliage is hues of golden yellow. This scene is from a panel of the WIP comic, Sweeney's Progress.
