A poster for every county in Ireland, drawn the way they used to draw them.
If I'm completely honest, I started this as an ADHD focusing tool based around my passion for digital art.
There are plenty of prints of Ireland. There are far fewer that make one particular place look like it deserves a wall. So I set out to draw one for every county — all thirty-two of them — then for the cities, then nine pubs apiece for twelve Irish towns.
They are drawn in the tradition of the great railway and airline posters of the 1930s and 1950s. Flat colour, hard edges, no gradients, a fixed palette, and the place name set underneath the way those posters always did it. The restraint is the whole point. A photograph shows you somewhere. A poster like this is how you remember it.
The other half of the shop is words. Thirty prints of the things people actually say here — what's the craic, ah sure look it, a grand stretch in it, now we're sucking diesel — set the way a sign painter would set them, with nothing on the page but the phrase and the line that gives it away. Alongside them the Gaeilge: sláinte, grá, céad míle fáilte, and the old seanfhocail with the English underneath, because a proverb you cannot read is just a shape.
I live and work in Ireland. Every design starts from photographs of the actual place, because getting a landmark wrong is the fastest way to lose the one person who knows it best. The artwork is developed with AI-assisted tools as part of my design process, then checked against those photographs, colour-corrected to a fixed palette and typeset before it goes anywhere near a printer.
Posters are printed to order on heavyweight satin poster stock by my print partner, which is based in England and prints close to wherever you are, then posted rolled in a rigid tube, never folded. Poster delivery is free to the UK, Ireland, the EU, the United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand — which matters, because a fair number of these end up on walls a long way from the place in the picture.
The 2027 wall calendars are printed in Ireland and I post them myself, with tracked delivery to the UK, Ireland and the US.
If your county or your town is not here yet, send me a message. It probably will be.
