The Pig Payback - Electric Picnic2009 - ADW

Fans of Street Art in the emerald isle will no doubt be familiar with ADW, the latest talent to emerge from the east coast. ADW told IrishStreetArt.com a little about his journey to date.

ADW spent 5 years studying classical animation and computer animation in Ballyfermot College. Three years were then spent in England for a computer games company before moving back to Ireland to work at doing 3D modelling.

His love for street art really started to take hold when he would pass by the hoardings at Dublin’s Bernard Shaw pub and could see the growth in the Irish Scene.

At this stage he started to experiment with stencilling and producing images. The artist told us how these images “would express the way I feel and I longed for the opportunity to devote more of my own time to my own art. The dream came true and my mind finally made up for me when the economy went tits up and found myself out of a job and creating art full time. Since then I haven’t looked back.”

In the last year or so ADW has hooked up with some really helpful and friendly people among the Irish street and art scene. But us he is currently trying to get his own show together in the coming year. Watch this space! Click here to visit ADW’s site

Definitely one of my favourite streets artists in Ireland at the moment. Love the style and the themes…it’s great when social commentary is done in such a way that is relevant, but not preachy.

Also, great work on the site. I am quite the fan of street art myself, and also love to photograph it, so will be sure to send you guys anything that i get, and can credit to the artist.
