Illustrating Blindboy Boatclub's 'Topographia Hibernica'

Step inside the twisted mind of creative maverick, Blindboy Boatclub. We were delighted to be approached to illustrate his book Topographia Hibernica in 2023, bringing our distinctive illustration style to his unique vision of contemporary Ireland.

The book takes its title from the 12th-century text by Gerard of Wales, but Blindboy reimagines it through a modern lens. Blending sattire, folklore, and sharp social commentary, Topographia Hibernica offers readers a series of surreal, thought-provoking essays that explore the textures of Irish identity today.

Our role was to create a completely bespoke series of illustrations in a Toile de Jouy style that sit alongside Blindboy's words, echoing his mix of the strange, the political and the poetic. Much like our patterns, his writing is layered and intricate - by turns dark, witty and subversive - making this collaboration an excellent fit.
