It’s nice to look back at old work and actually It’s nice to look back at old work and actually like it 😊 And to realise that I still crave ramen every single day. This is from when I started painting with gouache, and actually when I started working on my drawing and painting again for the first time in years. This one’s from 2020, when the pandemic lockdowns had just started and I had all the time in the world. It also serves as a good reminder to just paint everything and anything, without putting too much pressure on yourself. 🏷️ #oldwork #oldartwork #illustration #illustrationartists #foodillustration #gouacheillustration #gouacheartist #paintingprogress #womenofillustration

A statue of William Smith O’Brien and a live pig A statue of William Smith O’Brien and a live pigeon on O’Connell St. 🐦 “William Smith O'Brien (1803 – 1864) is usually remembered as leader of the 'Rebellion' at Ballingarry, County Tipperary, in July 1848. For his part in it he was convicted of high treason and transported to Van Diemen's Land (Tasmania) where he spent five years. […] O'Brien spent seventeen years of his life fighting for Irish interests in the British House of Commons. He was a representative figure of public opinion in Ireland in the first half of the nineteenth century, although overshadowed by Daniel O'Connell.” Source: visitdublin.com 🏷️ #dublintourism #visitdublin #dublin #dublinhistory #historicireland #irishhistory #williamsmithobrien #statuesofinstagram #illustratorsoninstagram #historyillustration #gouacheillustration #illustrationartists #observationaldrawing #statuesofinstagram #illustratedart
The beautiful entryway of the post office in Dubli The beautiful entryway of the post office in Dublin 🏤 Built in 1818, it has a rich history and has gone through many changes, physically and symbolically. After being heavily damaged by fire during the Easter Rising in 1916, it was rebuilt in 1924. “… on Monday, 24th of April, armed members of the Irish Volunteers, the Citizen Army and Cumann na mBan led by Patrick Pearse (1787-1916) and James Connolly (1868-1916) entered the GPO and declared an Irish Republic. […] As a symbol the GPO was a physical manifestation of imperial power: it flew the British flag, it carried the Royal Coat of Arms over its entrance, and it also acted as an army recruitment centre. Thus, claiming the building as a symbol of the Irish Republic was crucial to the cause.” Source: buildingsofireland.ie Please correct me if I got anything wrong 🤓 🏷️ #irishhistory #dublincity #historyofireland #historyinpictures #historylovers #architecturehistory #historicbuildings #illustrationartists #gouachepainting #anpost #dublinillustration #walktosee
A little peek of Christ Church Cathedral from Parl A little peek of Christ Church Cathedral from Parliament St. Last weekend was my first time exploring Dublin, and even though the weather was horrible, I had a great time. Having spent the last few years in North America, I found myself longing for old, narrow streets, winding and never knowing where exactly you’ll end up if you take a side street. I’m excited to explore more of Dublin in the next few months 😊 If you have any recommendations, let me know! 🏷️ #exploredublin #exploreireland #dublin #dublincity #walktosee #thegoodshipillustration #goodshipillo #goodshipillustration #illustrationartists #illustration #illustratorsofinstagram #womenthatdraw #gouache #illustrationdesign #architecturalillustration #historicarchitecture #historicdublin #cathedral #picturebookillustration
