Caffiene Junkie by Steve Simpson who sez:

I had a great job, designing a coffee cup for Cavistons of Glasthule [Co Dublin], and was so happy with the result I wanted to create a whole range. This is the current extent to the range! (I discovered, while doing this, I’ve never had a Cappuccino!)

“When the black herds of the rain were grazing,
In the gap of the pure cold wind
And the watery hazes of the hazel
Brought her into my mind,
I thought of the last honey by the water
That no hive can find.”

You may remember Austin Clarke’s short poem ‘The Lost Heifer’ from skule.

Black Herds of The Rain is a film documenting Irish-born, London-based Conor Harrington’s trip home in the summer of 2011 to paint three walls. The journey and subsequent paintings are inspired by Clarke’s verse.

By David Booth (a bit of a hottie) who sez:

This is the sceptical eye of my painting entitled ‘perfect imperfection’. It is the largest painting I’ve made for some time and follows me from studio to studio. It stands as a reference and a reminder to me of a certain pallet whose progression founded the roots/origin of an on-going investigation into portraiture.
