Thanks for the watch!!
I absolutely love your style! I'm excited to see more of your work.

Irish history is one of my passions--I have a huge poster of Connolly in my bedroom :) Thanks for sharing your cool art! Have a good day
Thank you so much for your kind words! Same here, I love learning all about it :) I'm especially interested in topics like the signing of the 1921 Treaty and Northern Ireland. I'm hoping to submit more Irish history-related artwork over the next few weeks. Any ideas on which historical figures should I draw? :D
Awesome! I just love the rebellions throughout Irish history--so maybe you could draw Robert Emmet, Wolfe Tone, or Thomas Meagher? Don't feel any pressure, though :) And if you're interested, there's an excellent biography that recently came out about Meagher (The Immortal Irishman). And I know this is a little more controversial, but Bobby Sands, too, is just a fascinating person
Thank you so much for all the great ideas! You just made me eager to buy that book on Thomas Meagher haha :D I'll put all of them up as soon as possible!

Welcome to DA! :D :heart:
Thanks for the watch and the fave. I see you work with ballpoint pens and you're very good a it, kudos! :clap:
I've just "discovered" the medium, but I'm still experimenting. It takes some time to get used to and lots of ballpoint pens are really low quality, so the ink gets sticky and blotchy.
Wow thank you very much! Really appreciate the kind words! :)
Same here, I'm still getting used to it - it can be really difficult, even just trying to find the right pen to use. Sometimes I just go back to pencils when I see no hope in what I'm drawing lol :D Greatly fascinated with your art as well! Definitely hoping to see more amazing artwork from you!
