NEW/RECOMMENDED SITES

"Irish and international contemporary visual culture" — CIRCA is Ireland's leading art magazine. Features columns and news, as well as Irish-language articles.

Graham Knuttel Official Website (www.knuttel.com)

One of Ireland's most famous and successful painters, Graham Knuttel apparently enjoys worldwide celebrity status and is a favorite among many Hollywood elite, including Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwartzenegger and Whoopi Goldberg. I must admit though— I'd never heard of him myself (I'm just not in the know I guess) but I did see and enjoy the movie Excalibur, multiple times, for which he was designer of specialist props. That much said, this site features loads of info on Knuttel's work, a gallery from which you can buy stuff (of course!) and superb graphic design.
