#134 Damien Quinn - Illustrator for professional sports teams, and Curator of 'The Drawn Game'
Today we spoke with Damien Quinn - Illustrator for professional sports teams, and Curator of 'The Drawn Game' Damien Quinn (draws...as per his instagram handle) is a supremely talented Limerick-born illustrator currently living in Sydney, Australia. His clients are very impressive - FC Barcelona, NRL, Denver Broncos, Denver Nuggets, New York Red Bulls, British and Irish Lions, Taste Ireland, Sporting Limerick, The Limerick Leader and Atlanta United FC of the MLS.
Damien illustrated the children's book 'Up in the Air', written by former Tipperary All Ireland winner Paddy Stapleton. The Drawn Game is an illustrated look at the GAA, featuring artwork by 27 illustrators and artists. Damien spoke with some of the greats from the world of hurling, camogie and Gaelic football and of course illustrated some pieces. There are brilliant stories and insights from legends of the game including John Mullane, Jamesie O’Connor, Sarah Dervan, TJ Ryan, Jacqui Hurley and Will O’Donoghue to name but a few from issue 2; proceeds from the sale of the book support Pieta House and Samaritans. Today we spoke about how Damien got involved with so many prestigious sporting institutions, compelling projects, appreciation of work on social media, and collaboration as part of 'The Drawn Game'.
We unpacked memorable art pieces, his process of iteration and sending out work to the public, and how to sustain excellence with a team...rather than only doing one great piece. Damien opened up on supporting charities - he's a giver...a high performer in the truest sense.
