Some of you may know that I am a proud member of the Blind Elephant Illustration Collective and being part of such wonderful group has allowed myself to evolve as an artist and get great exposure all over Ireland.
One of the projects we’ve done together as a collective is part of a project called The Icon Walk, created by the artist cooperative The Icon Factory.
The wonderful people in the Icon Factory gave us the opportunity to show our talent, promote local art and enhance the Irish culture through this great permanent open-air exhibition on Irish culture.
There are posters of famous Irishmen (and women) printed through the back and less-explored lanes in the Temple Bar area, showing that Ireland is not only made of famous writers, but actors, directors, visual artists, sportsmen and much more.
The Blind Elephants (including myself) happily contributed and designed the Irish films and actors/actresses posters on Bedford Lane.
These are both my works: Adam & Paul (film) and Peter O’Toole (actor)
We even got coverage from a Brazilian broadcaster, please see the video below
(in Portuguese):
Make sure to drop by at The Icon Factory to get a map and walk (perhaps a guided tour) around the Icon Walk.
