Eoin Coveney was recently approached by Sony Ireland to produce an illustration to accompany the new single by Christy Moore – “My little Honda 50″.
Eoin sez:
“…Once the concept and rough had been okayed by the Client, it was time to figure out how it might work in time lapse. I decided to break it down into 3 parts – first, to draw a rough pencil, then a scanned and printed version of the finished pencil was inked over. Finally, a scan of the finished ink was printed onto bristol board which I then coloured in real-time.The great guys behind the filming and editing them blended the 3 versions seamlessly into the finshed video.”

Apart from the bondholders.
The Republic of Ireland’s bail-out bosses have warned everyone must take their share of pain if the country is to make a recovery.
In their latest progress report, the EU, IMF and ECB troika shone the spotlight on the “sheltered” legal, medical and pharmacy industries for still being too expensive.
They also warned about a “lost generation” in youth unemployment unless the Government and the international bodies put heads together to create jobs.
Istvan Szekely (left, with IMF Europe Director Ajai Chopra), EC director of economic and financial affairs, said: “We have to be honest – Ireland is not yet out of the woods.”
But he said real progress was being made and all targets under the rescue deal had been met.
However, a lot of sacrifice from everybody in Ireland was needed to remain on track to pull itself out of the economic crisis, he added.
Mr Szekely said exports and manufacturing were performing “outstandingly” well and driving growth but he insisted medical, pharmacy and legal services needed to slash their prices.
