Hello! I'm Paddy Lynch, a cartoonist, illustrator and graphic designer from Dublin, Ireland.

I like to make drawings and images that tell stories and communicate ideas.

Books and comics I have illustrated include: Big Jim (with Rory McConville 2013, the O'Brien Press), My Last Day at 17 (with Doug DuBois, 2015, Aperture Foundation) and my comics series Last Bus (Cardboard Press). I run the monthly Dublin Comic Jam, and publish other folks' zines and comics under the Cardboard Press imprint.

 

Let's work together!

Big Jim Preview 5

Posted by Paddy

Dark plots are hatched in  the corridors of power. Larkin is released from prison and delivers another of his rousing speeches, a particular quality for which he was well remembered (actual recital begins at about 1:03). I was rather pleased with this page, although in reflection the second panel will probably be redrawn before publication.

Only 12 pages to go on this project and I can begin to think about some new ones in earnest! Have a very special project lined up to see the light of day before the summer that I’m incedibly excited about, but it’s too early to spill the beans.

By the way, you’re keeping an eye on my Tumblr, right? Diary comics, and extra insights into the Big Jim working process are some of the many delights you might enjoy over there.

Work in progress, Week 2

This week, I’m posting a couple of pages from a story that I was working on for an anthology submission to coincide with Design Week in Waterford. Link here. I missed the deadline in the end but will probably include the story in the next issue of Last Bus or another volume of Stop Gap. Still need to do the colours, some lettering touch ups and the title, but the guts of it is there. I tried a slightly simplified style for the drawing, inking purely with my new trusty brush pen. Anyway hope you enjoy it:
