Unshaven?
Careless?
A bit Mutt and Jeff?
Named after the martyr?
That’s him!

“You dropped your wallet on Merrion Square [Dublin] his evening while cycling a Dublin Bike. I picked it up but didn’t catch you because you were on a bike and I was not (also, I am slow and chasing you in work shoes while wearing a suit was very unedifying). You also appear to be hard of hearing because I was shouting at you. I might be slow but I am not quiet. Anyway, your wallet is intact as are its contents and cash and it can be collected just off Merrion Square tomorrow. I’ll drop it in to the Gardai at lunchtime if no contact is made through Broadsheet.
UPDATE: Mission accomplished! (see comments)

From We Go To The Gallery, a limited edition artworkby Miriam Elia, who sez:
‘We Go to the Gallery’ is the first in a series of Dung Beetle Learning books designed to make scary subjects approachable for the under 5s. Printed in bold colours and written in a clear and cheerful tone, each book will drag families into the darker recesses of the collective unconscious, for their broader cultural benefit.
For just as the humble dung beetle gathers faeces from the forest floor in which to lay its eggs, the child also lays its ‘eggs of knowledge’ in the turd of its own mind.
All righty then.
Yikes.

The Japanese art of Hitofude Ryuu (‘dragon with one stroke’) where the head of a dragon is created with various calligraphic flourishes and then its entire body is rendered with an oversized sumi brush in one masterful stroke, as demonstrated by masters of the art at Kousyuuya studio in Nikko, Japan.

A giant inflatable pedestrian bridge blown up by HB Ice cream as part of their Ice Cream Commutes campaign.
Oh go on then.
Also HB classics such as ‘Twisters’, ‘Loop the Loops’ and the controversial Calippos are being given away to those who tweet or post a picture of themselves on the bridge #HBGoodbyeSerious.
