“I wanted to pick out a few heads I see braving the icy waters if the Irish Sea on a daily basis.”
I? have always loved going for a dip in the Irish Sea. Recently, I’ve been throwing myself in during the colder months.
I feel it’s one feature of Dublin life that many have done before me and will continue to do in the future. It’s one part of living here that hasn’t changed when so much else around us has.
With this cover, I wanted to pick out a few heads I see braving the icy water on a daily basis. Hopefully, I’ll become one of them.
I’m a Dublin-based political cartoonist and illustrator from Co. Wicklow. You can follow me on Twitter @HBToons.
"In the illustration, we can see Micheál Martin and Simon Harris bow before the behemoth that is Big Tech."
"I saw this beautiful, almost prehistoric looking heron, staged in the perfect symmetry of the lamp post with the painted road line and the balance of the window and door."
"My illustration features a bird watcher at Bull Island."
"Stephen’s Green, overlooked by the shopping centre, is an iconic symbol of summer in Dublin to me."
