Happy #InternationalWomensDay! ♀️🎉 As we celebrate the lives, experiences and influence of women today, why not explore the 'Women of the Borderlands' collection, which foregrounds the largely ignored gendered dimensions of life along the UK/Irish border: doi.org/10.7486/DRI....

🎁 Little daily thread of some gift ideas from me aul shop/siopa from now until d'Christmas. This hard-working canine companion warms themself by a familiar range in this watercolour and pencil illustration of a well-loved, cosy, rural Irish kitchen. Prints: www.ciaraioch.com/artprints/p/...
Watercolour painting in a semi-cartoon style. A sheepdog lies contentedly in front of an old Stanley range with pots and a teapot on it, surrounded by rural kitchen paraphernalia like a bucket of turf, wellies, teatowels, jams and syrup, Lotto tickets etc. A clock hangs overhead and a mouse peaks out near it.

Last year's Christmas cards will also be restocked, and can be ordered at the link (will also begin to ship towards the end of November) www.ciaraioch.com/artprints/p/...
Digital mock-up of last year's Christmas card design, featuring a cosy scene that includes some well-loved details from an old - and new - Irish Christmas, with the greeting “Nollaig Shona” on the front (which means Merry Christmas in Irish).

Last day to order prints in time for Father's Day in Ireland on www.ciaraioch.com/artprints Get your dad something he'll look at with mild confusion, say "oh, that's nice" and place in the back of a press somewhere, never to be seen again.

Name the new National Children’s hospital after the great Dr Kathleen Lynn - a bill to be introduced to the Dáil. I would sincerely hope this would have cross party, even unanimous, support. She more than deserves this honour #speirgorm www.con-telegraph.ie/2025/04/21/b... to

It's very easy to not use AI image generators. Less than zero effort required. There's no reason to help normalise it at all.

A survey is under way to assess the dilapidation of Dublin's historic North Georgian Core, the Department of Heritage has said. It comes as experts say the level of dereliction and neglect is at its highest in decades. www.rte.ie/news/dublin/...

A few years ago I made a series of mini drawings of interesting Irish women (available as a print here www.ciaraioch.com/artprints/p/...) - this thread is a little information on the women featured, partly because it's useful, but mostly because I'm trying to be sustainable by recycling content.
Illustration featuring all the women of the Mini Mná series.
