Here's a design I did for an art glass project that, sadly, isn´t going to be going ahead. The venture was going to be called fuinneog an lae, which means "morning light" in Irish Gaelic, but can also be read literally as "day window" or "window of day".....

The illustration I did of Hugo award winning story And The Dog Said Bow Wow by American SF author Michael Swanwick can now be seen on the author´s website here...

I did this ink drawing for Jeremy Donaldson's interesting and fast-expanding collection of science- fiction fantasy art all of which is on 26x45 pieces of card. He has a website here..

The website I made of my sister Marie-Thérèse and Shane Quinn's wedding in June of 2003 is now online and can be viewed here..

The second sample page shows the widow's son encountering a willow tree in the same wood.The handsome woman on the left here is his mother.I hope to have more news about publication soon....

It's a retelling of an old Irish folk tale about a king, Larry Loingseach, who has a terrible secret (his horse's ears!) The green-faced fellow above is the "widow's son" sick with not being able to tell anyone the secret.

The building on the left is the local druid's residence. The two sample pages below show the king's harpist heading into the wood in search of material for a new harp.

The book was reviewed by Pól Ó Muirí in the An Teanga Bheo section of The Irish Times, read a bilingual version of the review here>.. Publisher Colmán Ó Raghallaigh spoke about the book in an interview for RTÉ Raidió na Gaeltachta and two copies of the book were given away as prizes on the programme.

The Irish-language children's book Dhá Chluas Capaill ar Labhraí Loingseach, (Larry Lynch has got two horse's ears, in English) by Eithne Ní Ghallchobhair, which I did the illustrations for, has been published just in time for christmas.

See a gallery of images from the book here >...and read a bilingual version of the press release from Mayo-based publishers Cló Mhaigh Eo here>...

I've finished the pictures for the Irish-language children's picture book Dhá Chluas Capaill ar Labhraí Loingseach! (Which means: Larry Loingseach's Got Two Horse's Ears! in English.) Eithne Ní Ghallchobhair from Donegal wrote the text.

The photo on the right is the finished stained-glass windows made by my father, Patrick Casey, from original designs I did, they can be seen here..

Copies of the book were also given as prizes for the Christmas competition on the online magazine Beo.ie. The book was launched by Irish-Language Commissioner Sean Ó Cuirreáin on 13 January at Club Sult. The image here on the left is a report in the newspaper Foinse about that event.

It can be purchased at the online bookstore Lítríocht.com here>...

The "Certificate" on the left-hand side is part of a new project where I write a short story and then illustrate it for someone based on their interests. The finished product is then presented along with a humourous "certificate". I've made a homepage for the project, which I'm calling "Donal Casey - Original illustrated stories", and it can be seen here...

These illustrations are from a new children's book project I'm working on with Eithne Ní Ghallchobhair who I did the book Dhá Chluas Capaill ar Labhraí Loingseach with. It was published by Cló Mhaigh Eo a year ago (see a gallery of images from that book here..) And I've made a page for this new project here..

I was in Madrid recently and visited the art school, Escuela Superior de Dibujo Profesional (ESDIP), where I studied illustration and computer graphics for three years. After my visit the school put some of my pictures (including these two) on the ESDIP website gallery. To view you have to go to the main page here and then click on the word "Galería" .....
