I was absolutely over the moon to get to illustrate this years Christmas RTÉ Guide 🎄✨
Christmas is one of my favorite things to paint, the cosiness, the warmth and magic of it all is exactly what I love to bring to my illustrations.
Huge thanks to Catherine and all at The RTÉ Guide 💛

I've gotten a lot of messages asking if a Troy Parrott equivalent will happen, and I am not one to let me people down, so probably 👀

Illustration of a forest, looking down from above at a little fox surrounded by flowers, shrubbery, mushrooms and more. Lots of birds and a squirrel are among the branches of the trees.
I think this spread is my favourite from the book. Wandering among the woods while the sun dapples through the leaves is my favourite place to be.

Okay, this one is for any artists in Ireland who regularly do kids events around the country. Chances are, you've probably had to go through Garda vetting at some point, which you will know is a major hassle for the self-employed. It looks like there's another change coming down the tracks. 1/
Making a very chilly day of stadium visits look very lovely indeed 😘
