:: The Picture Rooms (2011) ::
This October the boys over at The Picture Rooms, Wellington Quay gave Archie an amazing opportunity to showcase his work on the streets of Dublin; on the traffic box just south of the River Liffey coming off the Millennium Bridge to be exact. Forget museums, this is where art should be! Out there competing with corporate advertising that blights so much of our landscape in this corporate whoredom we find ourselves in!
The Picture Rooms is Dublin's newest photography and art gallery/studio. Independantly run it showcases emerging talents and the established work of Martin O'Leary and Aidan Beatty.
:: Death Wish (2008) ::
Blake Edmonds was a character from the British comic Eagle. As a young man I was always fascinated by this heroic adventurer with his mangled face and a gorgeous girl by his side on his many exploits.
Increasingly I find myself looking back to the comic books of my youth and beyond with a great deal of nostalgia. The first signs of senility to be sure. Archie plans to have a gallery of all your old British comic faves up here soon.
:: Scary Undertakings© ::
Every Halloween a group of Archie’s chums that live in the City by the Bay undertake the massive task of converting their entire home into a Halloween House of Horror. Every year has a different theme and Archie was honoured to be asked to be the official poster artist back in 2004. Enthralling locals once every year, hundreds of the neighbourhood kids (and adults alike!) queue up for the free-entry horror extravaganza. 2007 saw the number reach the 1000 mark.

:: Young Sancho (2007) ::
I love the look of Sancho, with his awesome 'tach and pudding bowl haircut that only he can pull off! This is a young Sancho getting the heeby jeebies from something just off-screen.
