Don Conroy in The Bernard Shaw.
It could go either way really, couldn’t it?
Well, it went swimmingly. A crowd of several hundred (PACKED!) twenty-somethings gathered out the back of a pub to listen to Don tell stories, and more importantly they gathered to watch the man draw owls.
Here is some audio from the event, Don discussing a visit from the postman in his childhood. He was loving the banter with the crowd, and I was surprised by the amount of random faces I encountered there, people I’ve never spotted in the pub before, including people from my childhood. The man is loved.
Pardon my mates and the general crowd:
Having drawn a few owls and told a few stories, Don was happy to sign heaps of autographs and pose for plenty of photographs.
Well done Don, the most successful artist in The Bernard Shaw yet 😉

I was wondering what that huge queue was all about!
“Don, the most successful artist in The Bernard Shaw yet”
Let’s not jump on the hate the hipster bandwagon. Granted, the place is full of idiots. But, I know plenty of people who frequent the place who have made a very comfortable living out of art. It’s very easy to take a swipe at people who we don’t know and/ or possibly fear, but stop being so pretentious. In trying to sound above the ‘hipster’ crowd, you become just like them – elitist and somewhat conformist.
Aw! He drew me an owl in the square once!
Monsier Lee, the wink 😉 was there for a reason,I agree. We’re there too often to comment anyway 😀
Know what you mean sir, I’m just a cranky bastard. It’s when you start posting polaroids of yourself modeling in the smoking area that I’ll worry!
