Joey from friends.

I was asked to do this one by my best mate Ken. Being an enthusiastic biker (scars and broken bones to prove it) it was obvious what he'd pick as a subject. It's not finished but close enough. The finished article? Well that's just for Ken.

The Kelly Connection.

I was contacted by a lovely couple on twitter and asked "if it's not too much trouble could you sketch our two kids"?

I said yes without a second thought.

Emails exchanged, photos received, away I went.

If you have ever tried your hand at anything artistic be it painting, poetry, photography or sketching you'll know the click moment.
The moment when adding will only remove from the piece.

The click moment was loud and clear with these two.

I would like to thank Ciarán and Hilary for their trust and hope they enjoy the finished work.

The old man.

Lost for a bit inspiration I downloaded a picture from the net. At least I think I was a picture. If it was a drawing then hats off to the artist he's/she's a better one than me.

I really enjoyed doing this. So full of life.......

By the way this is incomplete.



Any requests. You can get me at

On the double D

While chatting one night to a pal on twitter I came up with an idea for a sketch. The pal in question has a thing for the American super hero Dare Devil. The plan was hatched and away I went. Downloaded a picture off the net and spent two evenings sketching away. Truly enjoyed it.

How it all started

Summer 2008 and we have visitors over. We're all out in the garden watching Carmel and Ray's son Joe happily playing in the sun so I grab the camera to get some snaps. One picture in particular came out quite well.

Some months later I decided to do something I hadn't done since I was in school, sketch it. After getting all the materials together I gave it a go. This is the result.



To this day it's my favourite. Joe by the way is a special boy with special needs and has a special place in my heart.

Slash cover

Some time ago a friend approached me and ask would I do a sketch of his grand daughter.
Of course I said yes. It was an honour in fact. Little did I know the picture in question already appeared on the cover of a slash solo album I'm told.



I'm sorry for the standard of the photo, it was some time ago.

The last act.

So that's it finished. So what next? I've no idea yet but I am open to suggestions. Just send me a tweet with an idea. @mike_campion
