One man who’s been involved has been trying to organise a social event on a nearby council football pitch, something the council says it’s “monitoring”.
“A fter the longest time confined at home, one of the joys of spring is seeing the sun and optimism return. This illustration was inspired by meeting up with girlfriends in the park.”
“Some are trying to restore their look with DIY haircuts while others are simply letting it grow. Either way, it’s adding much-needed colour to an otherwise dull time.”
“I wanted to make art about ethics, what is right or wrong … I decided that a series of secular icons would be the best format in which to depict issues of the day.”
“As a fixture in the city’s identity, and a living part of its history, I felt that the current situation that carriage drivers are facing was worth documenting.”
“A friend’s dad told him as a child that the Poolbeg chimneys were cloud makers and that has always stuck in my head. This illustration is a nod to that lovely white lie.”
Though Halloween won’t be the same this year, I think we can make the best of the situation and take the opportunity to have fun with our kids at home.
“This illustration represents that feeling you get after seeing your friend in the park for the first time after months of video calls and voice messages.”
