The Liffey Swim Collection

This print was made as part of our 2019 celebration of the 100th Liffey Swim. We collaborated with some of our favourite illustrators to mark the iconic event.

About the Piece
It's not entirely clear what my heron has just fished out of the Liffey. Is it a fish or is it a rat? I walk the quays every day on my way into work and I can't believe people are actually going to take their clothes off and jump into that river! I'll be down there cheering them on. Delighted to be contributing a piece of artwork to the 100th anniversary of what is such a quintessential Dublin thing.
