A couple of weeks ago I spent the day drawing Dublin from the Gravity Bar for VisitDublin.ie as part of a project featuring 3 Dublin illustrators, Steve McCarthy, Fuchsia Macaree and myself.
VISITDUBLIN.ie - We challenged Steve Simpson, one of Dublin's most talented illustrators with one not-so-easy task: draw his version of the incredible view of Dublin from the Gravity Bar in the Guinness Storehouse in just one day. The result is a stunning video of Steve in action, capturing Dublin at its most beautiful. #LoveDublin
