By graphic designer, illustrator and digital designer Simeon O’Neill.
Simeon sez:
“My first Le Cool Dublin cover of the shadowy figures on bicycles is a reference to Dublin during 1916. Michael Collins would move around the city undetected by disguising himself as businessman heading to work. My great grandfather was part of a crew of several people who would do the same. Wearing a large overcoat and hat, the police decided they couldn’t stop everyone. This is a romanticised view of that moment in history, with bicycles moving through that blue morning light as the streetlights have yet to be switched off.”

Lovely mysticism there. Great to see it captured and illustrated. Nice work.
Bet he broke red lights, the free stater that he was.
Only orange.
