Got some fabulous commissions while attending #AnthroIrish this weekend. Shout-out to @luckoon.bsky.social @beetleheaddesigns.bsky.social @antheawest.bsky.social and Hatonni (on Insta) for creating such phenomenal artwork. I'm in awe and you are all brimming with talent!

Illustration of Shades O' Reilly by Luckoon. He holds a magnifying glass and has a ponderous gaze.

Illustration of the unwise owl Judge Clohessy by Beetlehead Designs, done with colouring pencils. The Judge appears dazed and confused while drool dribbles from his beak.

Gonna get a lot of FLAC for this one... One from the A6 sketchbook. Blue pencil // Pencil // Pitt pens

Caption reads "Folks love the sound of waves, but audiophiles love the sound of .WAVs". In the foreground sits an otter holding a shell to their ear, and a fennic fox with over-sized headphones connected to a hi-fi music system. Behind them is a nautical wave crashing on one side and an audiowave on the other.
