It’s been a strange year. But amid all the chaos I think it’s important to count our blessings. Though Halloween won’t be the same this year, I think we can make the best of the situation and take the opportunity to have fun with our kids at home. Stay safe and protect each other!
I’m an illustrator and designer living and working in Dublin, interested in uncovering the social interactions that drive culture. I try to capture these moments in bold lines and shapes.

You can find me on Instagram and at www.whackochacko.com.
