I'm leaving for Ireland on a one way ticket. A walkabout of sorts - A backpack, sketch book and laptop.
I would love to visit some sign shop / studios on my journeys.

Thanks, I'm in Dublin now. Very friendly, great music and the Guinness is so very good over here.
I'm looking forward to getting out of the city and visiting the countryside and small towns.
It would be very cool to attend a letterhead meet in Belfast. Timing is everything [Smile]

Typical, I'm spending a week in England and won't be home until Saturday 6th but if you're anywhere near Belfast after that, I'll gladly show you around a bit and take you to the venue for next year's Titanic meet.

So Shane, what is a typical day for you? Are you hiking, sketching, writing, painting or hanging in pubs chugging Guinness?

(and any of those are worthy endeavors)

Thanks
ireland is such a beautiful place in spite of the rain. I love the pub life here - great music and a sense of community.
The people are so open and friendly as well.

I've been moving around by bus and staying put 2-5 days, just soaking it in. Ireland has such an ancient quality to it. I traveled for a week with an irish person and educated on all things irish.

I done some hiking, running and hoped to have sketched, however it's been too wet.
It's been a good adventure so far.

Currently I'm staying in Doolin for a couple days catching some traditional music and dance, as feel as running some of their countryside.

I had a car booked for the next three weeks but found out my 5 year licence had expired this month, so I was unable to rent a car.

So I've decided to shorten my stay here and come back another day.
So much more to see.
