  1. Today I made a new Monk picture. Monk is battling his way along the top of an ominous black formation. There’s snow. The trees are bent by the wind. Birds above and below.

    There’s an unsettling sense of Monk in struggle.

    It’ll go on my website tomorrow unless someone wants it before then.

    Ink on A4 paper (30cm x 21cm)

    £95. Free postage to Ireland/UK. At cost postage elsewhere.

  2. When the living sleep and the dead awake etc, etc, Huddersfield

    Sir William Orpen, Self-portrait, 1906

    The pen & ink with watercolor sketch was part of a letter sent by the Irish artist to his American patron + mistress, Florence Evelyn St. George. Orpen wrote almost daily to St. George - the letters always illustrated + sometimes composed of nothing but drawings. Their daughter Vivien gave over 350 illustrated letters by Orpen, dating between 1906 + 1929, to the National Gallery of Ireland in Dublin.

  4. These two Monk pictures started a journey to their new home in Ohio today.

    I love paintings finding a home with someone who has taken the trouble to fall in love with them.

    Even better, I delivered them by hand to the buyer. We met in the shadow of Errigal, talked for a few minutes, and said goodbye.

    Art is (for me) personal. Saying goodbye to a painting is pride tinged with sadness.

    Travel well Monk.

  5. I've restocked some of my most popular prints in my shop including this, probably my favourite piece 'An Féar Gortach / The Hungry Grass'

    I really didn't think I'd sell any of these but have been pleasantly surprised at how many I've sold and had requests for more.

  6. I’ve just completed a new portfolio site ~ ofLore.Art ~ to showcase my work and projects from the last couple of years as well as some older work, which I think is still stands the test of time!

    Have a look around and let me know what you think.

    And a reminder that I’m open for commissions for 2022, big or small. Contact me here or through the site.

  7. My most recent piece ‘An Féar Gortach’ / The Hungry Grass based on the old Irish folklore. A cursed patch of grass, that caused an insatiable sense of hunger and weariness upon anyone who walked over it. Some folk took small pieces of bread in their pockets in case they stood on the hungry grass. #irishfolklore #folklore #irishart #irishartist #illustration #folkhorror #irishillustrator

  8. It's #portfolioday !

    I'm Rae, I'm a traditional artist. I'm doing a level 5 and level 6 art qualification here in Ireland to build a portfolio before applying for art college properly. #mastoart #artschool #artcollege #artstudent #irishartist

    My work can be found at raepercy.com

    And instagram.com/_raepercy

    At the moment I am exploring the tradition of story telling here in Ireland and how it continues in the modern day. Juxtaposing modern and traditional where I can!

  12. I am going to make a #sculpture using chicken wire, skimming plaster (for plasterboard), an old duvet cover, and scrap wood.

    BUT make it so it doesn't look like it is made with those things.

  14. I just want to point out it's Easter Break here in Ireland. I am justified in my reluctance to do any college work. #mastoart #artschool #artcollege #artstudent #irishartist

  15. Taking it upon myself to promote the end of year exhibition for our college. Especially as the college has done NOTHING for it. Other than making fucking shocking designs for some flyers.

    If you are so inclined I help manage the art departments own instagram account. Mainly because the college account does fuck all for us. If you are on insta we would love a follow!
