About Artist Paul Kirby

In 2008 I was laid off from work at a commercial printing firm. In the early 80s I attended a course in Art and Design but after emigrating to London I drifted towards commercial print. We returned to Ireland in 2006 shortly before the downturn and since being laid off I have returned to drawing. I work small in pencil and chalks simply because its affordable plus I'm happy with the results. My subject matter tend to be singer/songwriters with a sample of their lyrics, but I also use TV/Film characters or historical, political or sporting figures that interest me. I'm currently in the second year of an adult education course in Arts and Crafts.
