Failté!

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.

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. Image 1: 2022 - Image 2: 2019 I was extremely lucky to lodge for all of Autumn 2020 in a magical thatched cottage in Donegal, which was in guardianship of Breezy Kelly, @overthehalfdoor Turns out there is a whole literary genre of texts in Old Irish that elaborate on exactly what makes a Good or a Bad king. It has the very charming name of "Speculum Principum" ('Mirror of Princes"). The earliest one that survives is called 'Audacht Morainn', and in it, the mythical judge Morann gives advice about Kingship to his foster-son. It is presumed to have been written around 700 AD, and introduces the concept of 'Fír Flathemon', the King's Justice, the description of a perfect King: It has been a while since these hands were put to making wearable magic, but the birthday of the beautiful, legendary gentleman that is @cor_mac_tire was an inspiration to take out the old copper wire and pliers :) It only took me 30 strips to get cheeky and start giving out about the (lack of) duty of care towards the most unique example of Human legacy this island is lucky to have.
