Flip's Off

My artwork for the Little Ghost gallery.

The show is based around toys of Christmas past. My piece is a set of five images which tell a little story. Have a look and see what you think.

Show open until Christmas Eve so head along and buy my beauty or any of the other little beauties hanging on the white walls!

Little Ghost Gallery Opens...

Little Ghost Gallery Christmas exhibition is opening tomorrow night (11th of December) and you are all invited. I was up there this evening and the place is looking brilliant down to the hard work of Mick and Ann.

It is well worth the visit and will be open for the run up to Christmas. My little piece will be hanging on the wall so get there quick and nab "Flip's off" it'll be worth millions after I take a trip in a wooden box!!

For anyone in Kilkenny it's at the bottom of the hill that Canice's Tower sits on the top of (that make any sense) it's by the fireplace place, very easy to find but obviously hard to describe. You'd swear I wasn't born here. For anyone that's not from our glorious city ask for Joe's chipper walk up towards the church and you'll see it on the right hand side!

Boland Solicitors goes live...

Kieran Boland Solicitors in Kilkenny asked me to design a simple website for them.

The key to the design was ease of use and simple navigation, they didn't want their clients getting lost in the jargon.

The site has recently been launched at www.bolandsolicitors.com

Personalised Posters

Hi All,

I've done a few personalised posters for family and friends and have been asked a few times if I do them in general so I have had a think and decided that "yes I do." So if you would like to surprise someone you love or hate whichever I don't discriminate but I do rhyme (clearly) with a poster let me know and I'll give it a go...so

You can contact me on helena@helddesign.ie
or visit helddesign.ie for my number and give me a bell (literally I don't take cash)

A Touch of Vintage

I am currently working on a job that I decided, after some research, needed photography. So out came the camera. I blew the dust of the lens, screwed in the tripod and went all snap happy.

These are snippet of the results, pretty happy with them. Thinking of changing career to stylist/photographer!

Rubbish almost top of the pile!!

Rubbish is now no.59 on the editors list!

The aim of the game is to get to the top 5 on the editors list and earn yourself a Harper Collins review or possible publication. The gold star gained for a top five finish is highly sought after and is a great marketing tool for your work so obviously I'd love to get one!

"A Load of Rubbish" has done way better than I ever imagined firstly taking the no.1 position on the weekly book list for a number of days when initially loaded up and now after only 2 months, climbing above approx 5000 books to be within grasp of the editors list.

So please if you know anyone or if you care to have a gawk yourself and maybe pass on a vote, click on this link!
