Just thought you’d like these hipster Playwrights by Sligo Gary Reddin. They’re limited edition of 150 and signed. “I’ve always thought that if Joyce were alive today he’d be a Hipster. With Nora tattooed on his neck and subtle references to Ulysses (1904)” – Gary

I like ’em… as much as I thought ‘not another…..’ at first. But I got passed that ! Yay for me.
Nice work Gary :)
Cheers ‘Clampers Outside’ glad you like.
Joyce was talented and actually creative, what makes you think he’d be a hipster?
I think those lads would be writing about the hipsters in disdain.
Don’t believe in mocking these great fellas but they are still very good illustrations!
Cheers for the comment ‘Spaghetti Hoop’. Apologies if I appear to be mocking these great fellas. Illustration is a fantastic medium for exploring ‘cross overs’ and ‘what if’ situations. These drawings are a test of mixing cultures and times. No offence intended.
Oh it don’t need to be intended round these parts Gary. Nice work.
I like them, but I think Beckett’s head is slightly too big.
On the subject of these lads here’s a great short story by Kevin Barry, if you want some background noise.

Maybe Joyce would, but I can say for definite that he’d spell references correctly.
‘siningdecetive’ more like the ‘spellingpolice’. You are right though Joyce would have done a much better job then me at tilting these pieces

…if Joyce, Beckett or Yeats were alive today they would despair that someone could manage so many spelling mistakes and grammatical errors in a single sentence….or is that just a hipster thing?
No I’m definitely not cool enough to be a hipster. Apologies for my wildly erratic, spelling and grammar.
Joyce was not a playwright.
*cough* Exiles – but I agree…he was no playwright.
These are neat!
These are great, great use of colour but especially like Yeats’ Maude Gonne tattoo :-)
