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.
Performing Poet
A couple of snaps of me in full poetry flow at last night’s spoken word/poetry evening at the Sandymount Community Centre. A beautiful evening with a warm friendly crowd. Art is good for the heart.

The power of the APPLAUSE sign
Back in 2009 when I began hosting and curating The Brownbread Mixtape show in Dublin, I decided on a silly whim to create a homemade applause sign.
