Fáilte!

Is mise Séamus, an Argentinian-born Illustrator and Graphic Designer living in Ireland.

Based in the beautiful megalithic complex of Loughcrew in County Meath, I work as a freelance Designer & Illustrator, creating artwork based on my Ancient & Gaelic Ireland research. I also study and develop educational resources to promote the appreciation and understanding of the Gaelic tradition, myth, history and the Irish language.

This one is from 2016, dreaming of Ireland and of making a full-length graphic novel about it all, before I even knew who the Four Masters were, what is a stone circle or why you should never presume there is such a thing as an Irish unanimity over the eternal dilemma of leaving the teabag in or out. New article up! This time I've tackled a theory I've had since the first time I used both the 'Wheel of the Year' and the 'Hero's Journey' to gauge where I was in life: Are they actually one and the same? Tochmarc Étaíne, or the Wooing of Étaín, is a tale possibly from the 8th or 9th centuries. My brothers @dal_mac_tire and @cor_mac_tire came to me with a challenge: Could I make them both a shamanic rattle? And so I did! You know who was a wanker too? Robert Graves, who published "The White Goddess" in 1948 and, among other horrors, spawned the popular -yet misguided- idea that there existed once upon a time a magical druid Ogham zodiac. This is a modern invention, and a clever one too! I've met a lot of people who work with and get a lot from the Ogham Tree Zodiac. It is only a problem when they ignore they're dealing with a modern development, and go on under the mistaken understanding that it is something ancient (and thus, genuine). You can now pre-save "The Wanking King" on Spotify xD Maybe because I recently revisited her cave and sang songs of water and love in the dark with someone I love. Today in #tirnatri : What started as a simple, personal business card design evolved into a full on new illustration of these three half-pints that I'm gonna put on the back of the card 😁 The complex and yet deeply misunderstood role of the institution of Poetry in both Pre-Christian and Christian Ireland is still way away from the reaches of this simple webcomic. It is is easy to understand, however, that in a society as psychotically obsessed with rank and hierarchy as Gaelic Ireland, reputation was EVERYTHING, and it was everything in very concise, factual ways: everything and everyone had an "honor price" which pretty much defined not only your role in society but also how good or crap you had it - moreover, your behaviour could impact your honor price and make you slide up or down the social ladder.
