Annie West’s magnificent poster for the Fleadh festival in Sligo [running until August 17] contains a number of well known faces.
How many can you spot?
Annie will give the most correct ‘spots’ a FREE print on LOVELY paper.

Meanwhile….
President Higgins [who was given a FREE print] meets Annie at the Sligo Fleadh launch on Sunday. If he was only 40 years younger.

Annie writes:
“Fleadh Cheoil na hEireann is coming to Sligo this August. The Poster is being launched today. I see a lot of sequential start-to-finish art works. So I did one of my own…”
[‘800’ by Annie West]
Let’s all be dismayed and aghast,
At what happened back in the “dark past”,
It may be the worst,
But it isn’t the first,
So for now let’s pretend it’s the last.

By Annie West, who sez:
“I get the idea when I do the morning walk. Always. Has to be a circuitous walk. I don’t have anything as formal as a sketchbook, that’s far too organised for me. So I scribble on the back of an envelope. Bring the envelope home, scan it, do it again, then again, then sit down with my pencil and my vast array of lovely Dr. Martin’s inks and get to it. I tweet while I wait for layers of ink to dry…”

[Annie West with Amy ‘back in the day’]
Are you free on January 31?
Care for a creative morning in the company of Annie West and her daughter?
Miss Amy West and Mrs Annie West will be discussing the things that influenced them as children, leading to a career in, respectively, illustration and graphic design, “instead of management or some kind of consultancy”.
Ronald Searle, Peter Blake, TV comedy, pranks, practical jokes, marker theft, general mischief and being in trouble at school all the time may feature, Annie warns.
8.30am-10am at Medley, 56-58 Drury Street, Dublin.
Wish you’d bought one now?

My [Annie West] Gathering poster is just out of its tube [hence curling], what on god’s earth are you using for paper stock? The skin of some velvety woodland creature? Didn’t expect it tbh, Lovely. Anyone know where to get a nice (inexpensive) frame 35 by 25cm also?
The paper is 310 gsm ‘Hahnemühle Museum Grade Archival Paper’.
Inexpensive but decent framer anyone?
*sucks teeth*

Thanks also to Mark Nieland for his trojan work in getting the prints made against all odds.
Because of the generosity of Sligo businesses we can now donate €1,300 to Aware.
Unless Aware are one of ‘those’ charities.
Anyone?
