Artwork description:

The train from Dublin to Kingstown (Dun Laoighaire). This design is based on the original train from Dublin to Kingstown that would have passed by Blackrock Park in the 1830s. The train is the Hibernia which ran on the line from 1834 to 1842 (when the engine apparently exploded) and the coaches are colored similar to the original colors of the coaches.

Biography:

Originally from Cork, I have been working as a barrister and artist in Dublin for the last 6 years. My art style varies although at present I am experimenting with cartoons, comics, and French bande-desinnee. My submissions reflect my interest in the History of Dublin and the themes we can use for today; ideals of loyalty, friendship, love and adventure.
