Do you dream of making a living from your drawing?

If you’ve got the talent and drive, it’s entirely possible to turn your hobby into a full time career – just ask Conor Merriman, who has illustrated all over the world, producing artwork for film posters and brand content for global distribution.

Due to popular demand, the DesignPOP crew have added an additional illustration workshop with the Dublin-based graphic designer and illustrator, Conor Merriman on May 19th.

Working over many disciplines such as portraiture, poster design, branding, speed illustrations, storyboarding and web design, Conor will chat to the group about designing and creating depending on the client’s needs and ideas.

The second Conor Merriman workshop (the first is on Saturday, May 18th) happens in Thompson House, MacCurtain Street, Cork. Book a free ticket here.

Design POP, Ireland’s first food and design festival, will see homegrown designers and food producers creating custom pavilions across Cork city from May 17th-19th.

Six designers have been paired with six food producers to create bespoke installations that will pop up all over town in a new free food and design trail.
