“I’ve had the pleasure of working with Finbar on several occasions over the past few years and have been consistently impressed by his talent for concept and character design, to say nothing of the speed with which he executes iterative drafts and the immense breadth of styles he seems to be able to effortlessly turn his hand to. This past year he’s turned out concept art for preschool nursery rhymes, sensitive and harrowing character concept art for a feature film about Syrian refugees and instantly recognisable images of Irish rugby players for an animated series on mental health. Whereas Finbar is the very definition of versatile on the clock, his own personal style is highly distinctive and encapsulates new ideas for animated shows, reimagining of timeless classics and stand-alone art pieces that are both beautiful and perfectly executed. He’s a joy to work with and an inspiration to watch.”
