Le Cool review
We got a great write up in this week's Le Cool!

exhibition
Brainbelt Illustration Collective
Have you ever wondered how Bigfoot staves off boredom? Or how a spider plays the symbols? These ever pressing ponderings can be answered by taking a trip through the arch and into the wonderful world presented by the Brainbelt Illustration Collective. In this engaging and delightful show you can enjoy the creations of nine artists. Diarmuid Ó Catháin will bring out a smile with his fantastic Punphabet, C being for cheesus; a bearded cheese, and F being for furrari - you can guess where this is going... Lyn Allen invites you to follow the documented social diary of the glamorous and sophisticated Maud and her floating cat Minet. Other delights are the fantastical creatures of Kevin, Peter and Ann, 3D scenes of colourful characters, and the musings of Duffy Mooney-Shepard’s single lined figure. / Sarah Maguire

The Talisman of Loughcrew WIP
The "Hand of Glory." This was the dried or pickled hand of a dead
criminal hanged on the gallows. Robbers were supposed to be invisible if
they carried this gruesome hand with a candle made from the fat of a
hanged man. Sometimes the fingers of the hand were used as candles, and a
finger lit for each occupant of the house to be robbed, ensuring that
they would remain motionless. On
January 3, 1831, a gang of thieves attempted to rob the house of a Mr.
Napier in Loughcrew, County Meath, Ireland. They broke into the house
carrying a Hand of Glory and a candle, believing that it would prevent
the occupants from waking. However, the Hand of Glory failed to keep the
inmates asleep, and the robbers fled, leaving their talisman behind.
