Competition: Win a set of Irish History and Yeats in Love postcards by Annie West / [closed]

Some of my favourite Irish art is by illustrator and cartoonist Annie West. Her drawings make me smile.

A brilliantly sharp presence on twitter, she also has created some wonderfully humourous drawings of important moments in (Irish) history and that of W.B. Yeats in particular.

Here are some of her works:

Lots of her art has a particularly Irish feel:

and I love her W.B. Yeats in Love series:

A little bit more about her from her website:

Annie has over a dozen children’s books published both here (in Ireland), and in the UK and America. She has recently completed work on a series of illustrations for Children’s BBC and has a number of books in development. Annie won the Illustrators’ Guild of Ireland Best Book Illustration award in 2003 and 2004.

Annie was also commissioned to draw special artwork for the children of Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie, and Tom Cruise & Katie Holmes.

Annie exhibits annually in Dublin, Sligo and Galway and at her Online Gallery. She illustrates figures from history, literature and science with mischief in mind. She also works to commission and originals can be found in the collections of film stars, musicians, children, policitians, firefighters and rugby internationals.

A selection of Annie’s work was recently added to the National Library of Ireland’s permanent Illustration & Cartoon Archive.
