Vibrant 1916 prints by illustrator Jon Berkeley

Jon writes:

The 1916 Leaders Project was commissioned for the Irish Independent by designer Joe Coyle in late summer 2015. The ten paintings featured as covers for a series of special supplements, edited by Ger Siggins for the Independent, leading up to the centenary of the 1916 Easter Rising.
Each painting depicts a key player, surrounded by other people and events of significance in the Easter rebellion, its preparation and its momentous consequences.
The paintings are a uniform size at 360 x 305mm, and will form part of the Irish Independent’s major exhibition in Talbot Street, Dublin, to commemorate the centenary of the rising. And available to buy as prints (at link below).

After days, and in some cases weeks, of up to 14,000 refugees and migrants waiting in deplorable conditions in Idomeni, journalists and volunteers working on the ground are reporting that thousands have started to march towards the border.

The Greek/FYROM border was closed off completely last week.

TIME reporter Simon Shuster tweetz:

“I’m with mass of refugees from Idomeni trying to walk through hills to Macedonia…Idomeni break-out today well-organised. Fliers printed out by refugees tell 1000s to walk to Germany. So far, so good. Police staying back.”

“Few dozen Greek police just tried and failed to block 100s of refugees breaking out of Idomeni. March continues. Local police chief on refugees breaking through: “Our orders are, No violence. That’s what Athens says. So what can we do?”.”

“March of refugees looks to be in 1000s now, more joining. Police drones monitoring progress toward Macedonia. Flier calling for refugees to march said: Germany wants to take you, Balkans only want money. If 1000s march, borders will open (paraphrase).”
