Paper Poolbeg Chimneys
I recently played around with the text-to-image generator Midjourney and tried to recreate the iconic Poolbeg chimneys in Dublin Bay in the style of paper cut art. The result was super cool and I wanted to share it here.

Yer man is an absolute muppet!
A few years ago I had the honour of a puppet being made in my likeness. It was for a special edition of my video series The Blast at Facebook/Meta. My onscreen persona was a shirt-and-tie late night host, with a humorous sensibility. We were putting together a blooper reel from my interviews and hosting […]
Carving poetry out of newspaper clippings
For me, a great creative way to stimulate ideas and spark new writing is this classic technique of cutting out different words and phrases from newspapers and magazines. Then arranging them and gluing them into fresh sentences on the page. For whatever reason, they always seem to get to the heart of things and tap […]

One of the most creative periods of my life was when I was collaborating on the website artlick.com. No idea was too big or too small to be explored creatively. One such idea was a series of pop up ads for fake products & services. We zeroed in on a series of fake musical instruments […]
Video Postcards from the Edgemont
Another road trip up into the Appalachian mountains, where we wound our way through the Pisgah Forest to a little parish called Edgemont. The sun was shining and we drifted lazily down the creek on inner-tubes, trailing our hands in the refreshingly cool mountain stream. I captured some of the trip on my Rayban Stories […]
Road Trip – Filmed and edited with Rayban Stories
We did a lot of driving during the summer in North Carolina. Without a car you would be lost. I should note, it’s also possible to get lost with a car sometimes. Nevertheless, given the amount of time we were in a car, I thought I would test out filming our travels with my new […]
