An Post is publishing stamps by artist Yanny Petters, whose work has featured in our range. It's interesting to read how the beautiful new stamps evolved through creative teamwork between artist and designer - a lesson in producing something lovely at small scale.

Irish botanical artist Yanny Petters shares some of her latest artwork on glass, watercolours and oil, including autumn stamps with An Post

Happy Bloomsday 🧀🍷

"Every life is in many days, day after day. We walk through ourselves, meeting robbers, ghosts, giants, old men, young men, wives, widows, brothers-in-love, but always meeting ourselves.” - James Joyce (1882-1941)

Happy to all who celebrate. For anyone not familiar with the day, it commemorates 16 June 1904, the day on which the events of James Joyce’s novel Ulysses take place, and is named after the central character Leopold Bloom. The date had a special significance for Joyce, as it was when he first went out walking together with his future wife, Nora Barnacle.

🖼️ This portrait of Joyce by British writer and artist Wyndham Lewis was gifted to the Gallery some ten years after the writer’s death by his patron, the editor and political activist Harriet Shaw Weaver. It’s hanging in Room 23 at the moment, be sure to find it on your next visit.

I know we’re all drowning in podcasts now but for anyone interested in chat about life as an artist, this has been a good one - it came to an end yesterday after a six-year run of weekly episodes (still available to listen to for the foreseeable). It’s a UK one. Anyone got a favourite Irish art-related podcast?

For years, we've been trade-only suppliers. We've had many enquiries from members of the public and we were usually unable to help - the way we work with our printer, we just weren't set up to supply small quantities.

So now, we're really happy to say that our complete range is available online to the public at Papermintstore.com. Take a look!
