We’re delighted with this beautiful print, which we will be selling on the night of our launch, on Wednesday the twelfth of December. The print is a tribute to Thomas Dudley, better known as Bang Bang, who roamed the streets of Dublin playing mock shoot-outs with a large key he’d use as a gun.
All the profits from the sale of this print will go to a homeless charity in Dublin. It’s a miserably cold time of the year and hopefully we can raise a few quid from these, they’d look beautiful in a frame which is my plan. Our thanks to Luke for this brilliant idea. You can purchase his print of Garda Lugs Branigan from our friends at Rabble over here.
Our friends at Storymap have recorded a short little video about Thomas Dudley, which you can view here. “A big child, who lived his life as one long game of cowboys and indians, shooting people with a steel key”
I remember Bang Bang from the 80s when I lived in Dublin. Thanks for this 🙂
