A Miserable Gift

dannycoyne — Wed, 28 Dec 2011 11:44:06 +0000

This year I wanted to give some gifts that were a bit more personal. ‘Misery’ is Ma Coyne’s favourite movie, so I painted a pic for her. I wanted to keep in the same style as my recent ‘To Kill A Mockingbird’ piece. I’m planning a run of these so if anyone has suggestions, let me know. I’ve had it nicely printed on canvas. Click on the image for a closer look.
Cheers, Dan.

I had put this up before…and it disappeared…Anyways, it started as a scribble on my ipod. Then I souped it up a bit in Illustrator. I think I’ll get myself a print made of this one.

Identity: Faith, Love & Daisychains

Identity created for a hand-crafted jeweller. I used the idea of bending wire to create the typeface.

To Kill a Mockingbird

This was a recent painting. It was a gift for the missus. She falls asleep to her favourite movie every time. It’s her little blankey!

I tried to capture the playfulness of Scout and the exasperation of Jem, without working the piece to death! I wanted a simple style of illustration for this one. Click for a closer view.

I was recently asked to do a painting for a mate. One of the biggest match-up’s ever in the history of wrestling. Nostalgia plays it’s part here. I remember when wrestling wasn’t fake…I must have been eight or nine, but it was definitely real back then!

Wedding Invite

My best mate is getting married soon to a lovely cailín. I said I’d do the invites. Their dog Arthur is minding the door on the day. If your name’s not on the list…

The Consolidators

I’ve been working in a warehouse at for the past few months. It’s…repetitive to say the least. I thought things would be more exciting if this was in a movie or video-game.

‘The Consolidators’ is the result. I have a few of the boys I work with, the team-leaders or ‘villains’ in movie terminology included. There’s different elements from the workplace included, including an over-used tea machine. I stuck up a printed version in the canteen. It hasn’t been ripped down…yet!

The Missus

The missus…isn’t she lovely.

Train that Dragon!

Recently I was asked to work on a painting for a guy in work as a gift for his missus. She likes ‘How to train your dragon’. Here’s the result…Click for a closer look.
