Oh my.
Not since Jessica Rabbit has a cartoon stirred Ewok more.
Brendan O’Rourke writes:
Here are 2 cartoons (see also below) I did for an IABA [Irish Amateur Boxing Association] fundraising effort (1 of the Irish Olympic Boxing squad, and 1 of Katie Taylor). The IABA are hoping to raise some money for the upcoming European Schoolboy and European Women’s Youth and Junior Championships. The canvas versions have been autographed by the boxers and are now for sale. Prints are also for sale here.
Hang on. They can’t all be hot?
THE IRISH boxing team lined up shoulder to shoulder on the stage at the National Stadium for the final curtain call before moving to Assisi, Italy, for their last training camp. The only missing face was the star turn herself. Mindful of responsibilities, Katie Taylor provided a statement apologising for the no show.
“My sincere apologies,” said the statement. “Every session is crucial . . . Each day between now and my first contest in the Olympic Games has been planned to the last detail . . . I am aware of the expectation that is on me . . . For me a medal in London will be another gift from God in a life so full of blessings.”
A medal at the Olympics may mark both the high point and the end for Ireland’s modest boxing star if her father and coach Pete has his way – Pete hopes his daughter will retire after London.
