I recently entered an illustration competition organized by Fire Studios in Dublin. The theme of the competition was “Revolution” and my idea was the revolution of privacy, The idea of not sharing EVERY aspect of your life online, whether its Twitter, Facebook, Flickr or whatever social media outlet you fancy. This probably sounds ironic or possibly hypocritical from someone writing a blog, but I generally only blog and tweet about design related topics, not about myself. Except NOW! : )

Anyhoo, the very exciting news is that I was picked as one of the final ten illustrators who will exhibit at the Copper house Gallery in town on the 1st of December. I’m absolutely thrilled about that and even more so when I saw the names of the other illustrators who will also be exhibiting. I’ve been a big fan of Steve Simpson and Kevin McSherry’s work for a long time.

The list of illustrators taking part are:

Sharon Bruton
Brian Gallagher
Steve Simpson
Mario Sughi
Donough O’Malley
Derry Dillon
Kevin McSherry
Padhraig Nolan
Matthew Griffin

Jennifer Farley (that’s me)

I entered three images which you can see below. The third one (the one with the camera) is the one which will be in the exhibition.

All are welcome to the opening on Dec 1st at the Copperhouse Gallery between 6pm and 8pm where the overall winner will be announced. Fingers, toes, everything crossed.
