But here's \u003Cb>Emily McClave\u003C/b> from \u003Ca href=\"http://www.childrensbooksireland.ie\">Children's Books Ireland\u003C/a> and a poster I made for her and \u003Cb>Tom Donegan\u003C/b> right before I left, when I was too knackered to do anything else but sit in their beautiful Georgian office and draw something. I'm posting some sketchbook doodles now and I'll post some workshop stuff and comics links tomorrow.\\r\n\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/dublin_poster-ad12292d3c.jpg\">\\r\n\\r\nOne of the fabulous things about this weekend was having \u003Cb>minders\u003C/b>! \u003Ca href=\"http://ztoical.daportfolio.com/about\">Cliodhna Lyons\u003C/a> ran the comics day and liased with the children's book people and made sure everything ran smoothly, she's amazing. Then Tom Donegan took me around workshops on Monday, and Live Journal buddy and Dublin local \u003Cb>Dale O'Flaherty\u003C/b> (\u003Ca href=\"http://daleof.livejournal.com/\" class=\"lj-user\">daleof\u003C/a>) took care of me on the Saturday and Sunday, getting me to one of the workshops and making sure I didn't get mugged or run over. (If I'd been made of bone china, I couldn't have been better looked after, heh heh. Thanks, Dale!) \\r\n\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/dublin_stitcher-547a881e99.jpg\"> \u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/dublin_dale4-2ed620efe4.jpg\"> \\r\n\\r\nHere's an old guy Dale and I sat next to by the river. He was doing some needlework and let me draw him, it was a bit magic, really. I'd love to spend a bit more time drawing him. The second pic's by Dale, of me sitting on the ground sketching something.\\r\n \\r\nDublin's one of the cities who have started up \u003Ca href=\"http://www.dublinbikes.ie/\">a bike share scheme\u003C/a>, so I got excited about that:\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/dublin10-546b41b454.jpg\"> \u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/dublin15-10a19034e1.jpg\">\\r\n\\r\nAnd here are some drawings Dale did of me while I was being a total wide-eyed tourist and he was trying not to be embarrasssed. It was great running around town with someone else who's happy to get out the sketchbook.\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/dublin_dale3-24025fab89.jpg\"> \u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/dublin_dale1-007d8cbe51.jpg\"> \u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/dublin_dale2-70d26b01d2.jpg\" width=\"103\"> \\r\nHere's one I did of Dale in the pub, I think it came out well!\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/dublin_dale5-9aa2229605.jpg\"> \u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/dublin02-7c790351f1.jpg\">\\r\nShowing off our inky fingers.\\r\n\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/dublin01-cefa6d7925.jpg\">","2009-10-20T10:22:00.000Z","drawing-in-dublin",[],"drawing in dublin!",1776628733447]
