Working today on these giant puppet designs for Paisley's 'doon the water' themed carnival.

... well, nothing yet.

But with Mel Jordan, Lucy Mcgreal, Ronan McMahon and an assortment of green vegetables in the same room it's already loads of fun, and with support from Visible Fictions it's starting to blossom into something beautiful too.

It's exciting when you get a great photographer like Eoin Carey to document your set!

"... a truly exceptional piece of work."

Just found out that Martin O'Connor's brilliant show The Mark of The Beast is now officially brilliant, as Mary Brennan gave it 5 stars in this wonderful review!

I haven't managed to get my hands on the professional photos yet, but here are a few hazy snaps I took on my phone during rehearsals showing the set in a variety of flavours.

If you live in Edinburgh then there's one last chance to catch the show at the Storytelling Centre this Thursday, 19th April at 7.30pm. Tickets are here.

Here's a quick film of An1mal at the Edinburgh International Science Festival last week. We've had a great time working on this project, and it was a real treat to exhibit in somewhere as busy and exciting as the National Museum.

​Tomorrow is the last day of the exhibition, so if you haven't seen it yet you'd better hurry...

Here's the excellent poster image by Eoin Carey for Martin O'Connor's new solo show The Mark of the Beast.

I've had a brilliant time working on the set design and build for The Mark of the Beast, and from the glimpses I've had of the show so far, it looks like it's going to be really wonderful.

​The show is opening this Friday, 13th April at Platform Theatre - you can get tickets here.
