Press Release: Irish Olympians get graphic stamp celebration

Dublin 19/07/2012 – An Post today (Thursday) celebrated Ireland’s participation in the 2012 London Olympics with a duo of stamps.

An Post has issued the stamps, designed by Red Dog Design, to mark Ireland’s involvement in the games. The 55c stamp depicts a graphic interpretation of the medal ceremony. While the 82c stamp combines sharp imagery and contemporary typography to represent Ireland’s proximity to London and Team Ireland’s short journey to compete.

Go Team Ireland! Sure you’ll be back in an hour and a half, tops.

Olympic Games 2012 (An Post)

By Peter Donnelly who sez:

This is one panel from a larger piece titled Rotkappchen. It’s based on the original tale of little Red Riding Hood. I’d been admiring German woodcut illustration and wanted to try work something in a similar style. I begin every assignment with drawing but my illustrations are all finished digitally.

Nice.

A street map made up of over 900 film titles.

The Map, which is loosely based on the style of a vintage Los Angeles street map has its own Hollywood Boulevard and includes districts dedicated to Hitchcock and Cult British Horror movies. Like most cities it also has its own Red Light area. There’s an A-Z key at the base of the Map listing all the films featured with their release dates and names of the directors.

Paté on a burger? Check
Bought-in Brazilian salad on a burger? Check
Pasta salad on a burger? Check
Plenty of petrol on the barbecue to keep the flames roaring for the camera? Check
Pastrami on a burger? Check
Bellinis on the side? Check (although there’s not a cocktail in sight)

The Irish barbecue…

This is a f**king disgrace and an insult to food…

Blimey.
