Cover image for Dublin Inquirer print edition #103

This cover is an homage to my daily commute along the Luas’ red line. I moved from the countryside into the city centre during my first year of college and the novelty of such a quick, convenient mode of transport was amazing to me.

I look back and laugh at myself for being so afraid to be caught out without a ticket however, as I lost my Leap card frequently. A small amount of the mountain of Luas tickets I collected can be seen in the background of this drawing.
