UPDATE: I first uploaded this podcast on the 28th of October but the volumes levels were a bit off. I've fixed the sound on this version of my chat with Chris and hopefully it has improved it. I hope you enjoy it. Chris is greaaaaaat!**********************************************************Last week Chris Judge passed his driving test and then spoke to me for my humble podcast. He is still pinching himself. Chris is the creator of 'The Lonely Beast' book which was described by the New York Times as "a beautifully illustrated and humorous picture book". He has also written and illustrated 'The Brave Beast' (winner of the Irish Children's Book of the Year Award), 'The Great Explorer' and 'TIN'. Recently, he illustrated 'Danger is Everywhere' by comedian and fellow beard owner David O'Doherty and created the cover for Roddy Doyle's new children's book 'Brilliant'.His work has also been featured in the Irish Times, numerous billboards around Ireland and even on the N7/Naas Rd at Newlands Cross (HELLO GLAMOUR!). In addition to all of these amazing achievements, in a previous life, Chris also used to be in The Chalets and won 'Best new band' at the Meteor Music Awards in 2005. What a world, eh?Chris Judge, I am 80% happy for you.
