#hometovote, above, by Annie West
You may recall cartoonist Annie West’s Gathering print which adorned the back of The Broadsheet Book Of Unspecified Things That Look Like Ireland (New Island) and was later sold to raise money for Aware.
Last Friday – as Irish citizens living abroad arrived home to vote in the marriage referendum – Annie (artist by royal appointment) tweaked the Gathering print to turn it into a new print, called #hometovote.
Now she’s selling the #hometovote prints for €50 – with the proceeds, after printing and shipping, going to youth LGBT group SpunOut.ie
Fair play in fairness.
This afternoon.

To artist Annie West’s buke launch.
About Ireland’s most celebrated stalker poet.
Yeats in Love is an illustrated, semi-fictional account of WB Yeats’ obsessive yet ultimately fruitless pursuit of Maud Gonne, illustrated in detail on every painful page by award-winning Illustrator Annie West. To celebrate WB Yeats’ 150th Birthday in 2015, Annie has gathered together remarks from those who bore witness to this unfolding story- Douglas Hyde, Katherine Tynan, Lily and Lolly Yeats and others- and mixed them together with some of Yeats’ most enduring love poems.
All this and MacCoille.
