Here is an littel overview of the third LUAS celabration of the RPA-LUAS art competition 2009, wich took place last wednesday 20 of january at the Dublin National College in the Docklands.
I saw few faces i did recognise from the last year ceremony, and the members of the RPA like Lynda stewart and Franck Allen (CE), and all the public relation crew …
And the winner is…
The winning entry was a tie with the shape of the Luas on a very serious young hardworker (the meaning of the docklands?), there has been a huge diversity among all the proposed pieces, with photography, paintings, ctrl+C / ctrl+V, and digital media).This competition seems to take an advertisement and illustration side. I’ve met an old friend there as well, named «Â Jean pollier »( his drawing) and was a runner’ up of the last year competition, but didn’t succed in this edition. I’ve saw his artwork and i really liked it. (here is a link to see what he sent for the competition) I like his style,.. a bit of norman rockwell .
April fool’s.
This is my month ! Well my picture is displayed in the calendar at the month of april. I’ve also won agoodie bag with a teddy bear Luas, a rain jacket (irish are very funny), a Luas Usb key with looks like a luas car (collector) and a small cash prize for buying anything i want anywhere but something not too expensive.
Picture of the event
