While we’re at it, worth mentioning some other Irish flickr pages, in no particular order…

One of Irelands masters of style, check out his flickr account to see some of his latest pieces and older stuff too.

It used to be cool for the kids to get their moms to buy them paint so they could tag. Now it’s all about getting as many tags as you can in your book. They don’t care what you write or who you are as long as you tag it. This girl even gets her grandad to help her. How cute.

Well you could never accuse this guy’s finger of being on anything other than the pulse, since there’s probably little chance of him ever picking up a spray can.

The author of the fledgling Aesthetic Excess blog predicts that train bombing - which “has been rising in popularity in Britain in recent years” - will soon come to Ireland. Yeah! You read it there first.

He’s quick to point out though that there have been some efforts in the past year, with some writers “especially in Dublin have been putting pieces on trains for the last year or so. The first one I saw was a terrible throw-up by TOME, who is well known in Naas for his large piece on the Maxol garage on the Sallins Road.”

So there you have it! Apparently Ireland’s train scene kicked off in 2007.

The prophet walks amongst us.

Eine’s stuff popping up around town.
