As the cartoonist behind that crazy idea, this website, and the people we’ve met through it, have been invaluable to me in understanding and interpreting the novel for a new audience. We set up a pretty large challenge for ourselves with the initial idea of adapting that novel into a comic with the hope that each page and panel could serve as a window into Joyce’s deeper mysteries and his world of Dublin on June 16th, 1904.

When this website first began in 2009 all of us here at Throwaway Horse tried to envision it as a place where interested people could come to learn about and discuss the work of James Joyce through his novel ULYSSES. or Road Press, Stoney Road, Dublin 3, Ireland In collaboration with the James Joyce Centre, Dublin,Ĭentenary of the publication of Dubliners.įor enquiries please contact Stoney Road Press on Plate size: 36 x 27cm, Sheet size: 50 x 38cmĪn illustrated book of THE DEAD is published in 2014 by Individual prints are available for €275 each.

Posted in Around the Studio | 4 Comments THE DEAD: Limited Edition Prints by Robert Berry So let’s get started, and we’ll see you on Bloomsday,

I’ve got something more Joyce in mind as we draw closer to Bloomsday. And “what about the other 35?” you may say. “But that’s only 100drawings,” you may say. We’ll try to figure out a way to drop some links to good biographical information onto the tweets for people encountering them that way, and our hope is to collect the group of them somewhere once all is done. I hope people use them as I have, as a window into study. So far they’ve been great fun to do and have given me a chance to learn more Irish history each day. I’ll be drawing portraits of one hundred “Heroes of Irish Freedom” from now until Bloomsday based upon a list developed by good friend Pat Callan. To honor and commemorate that date I’ve changed the format of the bookmark drawings this time around. This year, 2016, also marks the centennial of the Easter Rising in Dublin, an important moment in the struggle for Irish Freedom and a date close to the heart of many fans of Joyce’s work. 135days from now until Bloomsday itself this makes for a nice little birthday gift to the Old Fella.

To get people in the spirit I usual do a series of drawings, bookmarks really, released daily over twitter. Joyce’s birthday is today (February 2nd) and that’s the time we start gearing up for another Bloomsday.
