The Inspiration:

This compelling mixed-media collage is directly inspired by the bold aesthetics and classic typography of retro themed postcards from the 1960s and 70s. The artist sought a method to combine the technical challenge of integrating intricate collage elements with bold typography, resulting in a unique visual aesthetic that is both challenging to create and screenprint. With this collection, that rewarding process has finally been achieved.

The City:

This piece re-imagines the classic "Greetings from..." vintage postcard, serving as a vibrant and textured homage to the city of Dublin. It anchors its composition on the large, textured "DUBLIN" title, whose segments reveal distinct local features, expertly merging the city's Georgian architecture, historic library scenes, and famous public parks with glimpses of traditional pubs and the bustling Liffey riverside. Reflecting the city's inherent musicality, the composition includes a subtle detail of a man playing a fiddle tucked into the bottom left corner, providing a visual nod to the infectious folk music tradition thriving within Dublin’s many classic public houses. Framed by rich, wild foliage and rendered in a sophisticated palette of distressed textures and faded colours, this work beautifully captures Dublin's literary soul, cultural warmth, and profoundly inviting Gaelic spirit, echoing the phrase, "May the road rise up and meet you!"

Perfect for:

Anyone who loves Dublin's literary history, traditional music scene, and its distinctive mix of Georgian elegance and pub culture. Ideal for spaces that appreciate technically complex printmaking and bold, nostalgia-driven graphic design.
