Hello All, I'm looking for votes for "A Load of Rubbish"!






Hi all, as some of you already know, I have written a childrens book called "A Load of Rubbish"and without a clue what to do with it, I loaded it onto a site called Authonomy.com run by the publishers Harper Collins. It is a site to spot new unpublished talent. Anyway the book flew up the charts and is now no.7 out of over 6000 books. The top 5 at the end of each month are put forward for consideration to editors in Harper Collins UK and US. It's not a definite towards publication but it's a good step in the right direction.

I have uploaded the synopsis and voting instructions onto my blog in an effort to entice votes. Please have a read and if you have time pass on a vote.

The sketches above are of some of the characters in my story.

Kells Comedy Festival

Here's some of the characters and the logo I created for the Kells Comedy Festival. I did the full branding for the festival last year, the design can be seen on my website helddesign.ie (which by the way is under going a redesign, navigation is very bad so any suggestions appreciated!)

Anyway last year was all about Vikings, so this year I chose the book of Kells as my inspiration. Who knew there were so many characters inside it. Above are my favourites but there are loads more, lots of dragons for some reason although I have heard Kells is full of them! The full poster is on my blog helddesign.blogspot.com
