This is a rarity in itself, an interview that I did which is not really about illustration or writing. Although a life size inflatable Spider-man does get a mention!

I recently had my portrait photograph done in Shandon, Cork City for my upcoming book Ghost of Shandon. The photograph was taken next to Saint Anne's Church, under Shandon steeple by the Cork photographer Ian Fleming. Id like to thank Ian for doing such a great job!
