“By the time we left for the RDS the conditions were extremely hot and sticky. We walked up Sandymount Avenue and almost wilted. Black-clad, mascara-streaked and hairspray-soaked temples. Then we reached the top of the road and gasped. The Curehead army was marching through Ballsbridge. Our time had come; this was our day. We may have been marginalised in our respective hometowns but this was truly a gathering of the tribe. A number 18 bus swung around onto the main road; its occupants stared at us with a mixture of shock and probably pity.”

By Dublin-based illustrator Peter Donnelly who sez:
This piece is called The Drowning Man. Like a lot of my illustrations it’s inspired by a song. It appears on the 1981 album Faith by The Cure. I like the way you’ve got to look hard to find him and work out his story.
