#OTD in 1895 – Bridget Cleary was burned to death by her husband Michael who believed her spirit had been taken by bad faeries and replaced with a changeling.
Cleary was born Bridget Boland around 1869 in Ballyvadlea, Co Tipperary. She married Michael Cleary in August 1887. The couple met in Clonmel, where he worked as a cooper and she served as a dressmaker’s apprentice. The horrific case dominated the media in Ireland during the trial. Reports of the incident suggest that her husband (who was sentenced to 15 years for manslaughter) was the one who…

Workshop/Clonmel campus lectures:
First of all I did a scan of my head in the 3d printing workshop. It was a challenge to pick up the hair so I had to have my hood up, later on Ken suggested we should have brought swimming hats ;)
Tumblr media
Later my friend, who is a student at the Clonmel campus, helped me to clean up the 3d scan in zbrush.
I hope to print it at some point I just haven't had the chance.
I also attended a few lectures at the Clonmel campus where Adrian thought me the basics of Zbrush and Ken Coleman showed us how his Photoshop, zbrush workflows and expanded apon 3d scanning objects.
Tumblr media
My attempt at modelling from scratch in zbrush for the first time.

l also made this muscular monster. I chose a preset from the lightbox menu and then sculpted the anatomy on top.
Tumblr media
Ken's photo bashing workflow in Photoshop. I learned a lot and it inspired me to try new things within the software.

Ken helping us with the 3d scanner. Unlike the one on Clare street the scanner can pick up hair but the resolution of the scan is not as high, also there are no flashing lights which is handy for people who are light sensitive.

The Defeat of Irish Royalism, 1650: ‘We are come to break the power of a company of lawless rebels who… live as enemies of human society,’
The End of the Confederate Rebellion
Tumblr media
Source: Wikipedia
IN LATE 1649 Cromwell made overtures to the Irish Confederates, but they were couched in the language of uncompromising Puritanism. The Parliamentary general issued his declaration in response to a rallying cry from the Irish Church to the whole of Ireland to encourage resistance to the English invasion and to support the cause of the King. Cromwell proclaimed that the Irish would be treated leniently; that their lands would not be confiscated, and that there would be no judicial punishment for their rebellion. However, all the rebels heard was the unforgiving righteousness of the Calvinist godly: because Cromwell added that in order for there to be a peaceable end to the rebellion, the Catholics would have to give up their fight and their religion, their support for the king and to accept an imposed Protestant settlement on their country. Perhaps Cromwell thought his declarations reasonable in the context of a bitter civil war that had allegedly seen massacres of Protestant settlers by the rebels. However, to the supporters of a nine year nationalist rebellion rooted in the Roman Catholic religion, his words were those of conqueror to the vanquished.
So the war continued. In January 1650, a reinforced Cromwell continued his campaign of reducing Royalist and Confederate strongholds one by one. In contrast to the atrocities committed at Drogheda and Wexford, and to Cromwell’s subsequent baleful reputation in Ireland, he offered generous terms to defenders, permitting them to march out of surrendered towns and castles under arms and with banners flying. This way the Commonwealth forces were able to capture Fethard, Cashel and Cahir in quick succession. The route was then open for a march on Kilkenny, the capital of the Confederate rebellion. In March 1650, Cromwell invested the city. After five days of negotiations, the Confederate commander agreed to surrender the city and the garrison vacated Kilkenny, marching away with full honours and the centre of the rebellion was, rather suddenly, in English hands.
With the loss of Kilkenny, Ormond knew that the Royalist cause in Ireland was almost spent, but if Charles I’s former Lord Lieutenant despaired of now being able to aid his sovereign’s son to the throne, Cromwell himself was not so sanguine. He believed the danger of invasion from Ireland remained the greatest threat to the longevity of the upstart Commonwealth, for all Charles II’s rumoured courting of the Scots. Despite the absence of any rebel field army worth the name, the Confederates continued to hold several strongholds, all well garrisoned and therefore, from Cromwell’s perspective, comprising the core of a potential Royalist revival. The Parliamentary general resolved not to leave Ireland until each and every hold out had been reduced.
Cromwell began his campaign with Clonmel, a walled city in the south under the command of the formidable Hugh Dubh (“Black Hugh”) O’Neill, a veteran on the Catholic side of the Thirty Years’ War, known for both his military skill and his strategic cunning. O’Neill led an experienced garrison of 1500 rebels and had the support of the townspeople to resist the invaders and so when Cromwell arrived before the walls of Clonmel on 27th April and offered terms, Black Hugh refused to negotiate and a siege commenced. Cromwell concentrated artillery on the hills overlooking the city from the north and began a bombardment. Morale within the town however remained high and O’Neill sent several sorties out to attack the besiegers and disrupt their supply and communication lines. The rebel commander lived in hope that if he could tie down the Commonwealth forces long enough, Ormond may yet put a Royalist army into the field and come to his relief.
This was a folorn hope, but Black Hugh made the best of his situation. By the middle of May, the English gunners had made a major breach in Clonmel’s walls. It seemed the fall of the city was imminent and on the 17th, Cromwell ordered his infantry to advance into the breach. Unknown to the Parliamentary commander, O’Neill had turned this tactical disadvantage into an ambush. He had his men construct a makeshift wall around the edge of the breach, and secreted canon and sharpshooters within the new defensive line. As Cromwell’s forces surged forward, they were met by withering artillery and musket fire that cut them down in their droves. After an hour of one-sided combat, over a thousand New Model troopers lay dead or dying in the killing ground. When Cromwell arrived personally to oversee what he expected to be the final street by street battle for the town, he found his men in retreat and Clonmel still defiant. Black Hugh had arguably inflicted the only defeat suffered by Cromwell in his lengthy career fighting in the many and varied British Civil Wars.
However, O’Neill knew the chances of repeating this success were limited. With ammunition and food running low, and the continuance of the bombardment assured, he took the view that Clonmel was impossible to hold. That night he and his remaining soldiers slipped out of the city and made their way to Waterford. On the 18th a frustrated Cromwell took the surrender of the city from the town’s mayor - a victory perhaps, but one that probably felt like a defeat. Nontheless, however hard won, the taking of Clonmel effectively ended Royalist hopes in Ireland and Charles indeed gave up the slim hope that Ormond’s forces could be the vehicle for a restored monarchy. The Rump Parliament agreed. Their nervousness was focused entirely now on the danger from Scotland and they wanted their all-conquering general home, despite the fact the Catholic rebellion was not fully suppressed. On 29th May, Cromwell left Ireland and returned to London to a hero’s welcome. The task of stamping out the last of the Catholic rebellion, which would carry on for a further two years, fell to Cromwell’s fellow Grandee, Henry Ireton, who would eventually die in this, his last campaign in the Parliamentary cause.
Cromwell could count his Irish campaign a success. In just nine months he had destroyed Royalist hopes in Ireland and fatally crippled the Confederate rebellion but at lasting cost to his reputation. If the atrocities at Drogheda and Wexford were exaggerated and there is also evidence elsewhere of Cromwell’s leniency and political skill, there is no doubt the behaviour of the general and his army to the Irish was brutal and contemptuous in equal measure. And if there is little or no evidence of deliberate wholesale massacre of non combatants in the two notorious sieges, the cold-eyed killing of the entire garrisons of each city, whether the men were fighting or surrendering, is enough to justifiably condemn Cromwell as a callous military murderer for posterity.

DIFFERENT HAIR STROKE PATTERNS. WHICH HAIR PATTERN ARE YOU?
Styles of brows vary from culture to culture. Let us introduce you to a different hair-stroke pattern! The most unique and important factor at Brow Design By Armand, to create eyebrows with the most natural look, is to follow the hair-stroke pattern of the client.
Custom, tailored eyebrow design-this is what we are famous for.
A perfect permanent eyebrow procedure is more than just ART, it is a SCIENCE. The true PMU artist can and should be able to see potential changes in the face years later. These facial changes would be due to changes in bone structure, muscles, skin, existing wrinkles and most importantly future wrinkles!
At Academy AK By Armand we take our clients very seriously, especially when it comes to choosing your “own” perfect eyebrow shape. Every single brow is custom designed for each individual client. We spend a lot of time with our clients creating a perfect shape, discussing major details, and of course, giving OUR CLIENTS an opportunity to be completely involved in creating and choosing their own look. That’s what makes our clients happy, and that’s what we truly want – to help them get their desired look!
At Academy AK By Armand we only use “organic” 100% EU certified pigments. We are proud to be the only PMU clinic in Cork, Ireland offering our clients the finest Permanent Makeup products from Switzerland, Germany and Japan.
BEFORE CARE
Please note: During consultation we discuss everything client needs to know about the treatment and prepare each client beforehand.
* Do not work out on the day of the procedure
* Do not drink coffee on the day of the procedure
* Do not tan. No sun 30 days prior and 30 days after the procedure
* Do not take aspirin, niacin, vitamin E, ibuprofen, fish oil.
* No alcohol the night prior or on the day of the procedure
* Any waxing or tinting of the brows should be done 3 days prior
* No botox for 4 weeks prior to the procedure
* Stop using any Retin-A or AHA products for 2 weeks prior to the procedure
* No lasers or chemical peels for 1 month prior to the procedure
* No microdermabrasion or dermaplaning for 2 weeks prior
WHAT TO EXPECT AFTER YOUR PROCEDURE
Your new temporary eyebrow will go through several phases during the healing cycle.
The pigment will appear very sharp and dark immediately after the procedure. This is because the pigment is still sitting on top of your skin, and has not yet settled in completely. Once the healing of the skin starts taking place, it will look like dandruff flakes or dry skin. This might give you the impression that the color pigment is fading too quickly; however, this is just superficial color and dry skin being naturally removed from your eyebrows.
Once completely healed, always apply a layer of sunscreen SPF 30 up to SPF 50 on your eyebrows when exposed to the sun. Sun exposure might cause the color pigment to fade away more quickly.
Entire healing process will take from 4-6 weeks, depending on your body’s regeneration, age, immune system and lifestyle.
Dear Clients!
Thank you very much for looking at Academy AK by Armands and thinking of us to participate in your future beauty transformation.
Here at Academy AK by Armands, I strive to provide my clients with a unique, one of a kind, permanent makeup experience. I have dedicated myself to the pursuit of perfection on each one of my clients.
It is a joy and a dream to serve so many of you and for you to allow me to help make your dreams and mine come true. I have always dreamed of creating something so special and beautiful, that everyone will love and enjoy, and to provide my community with nothing but the best in every way. And today, I feel humbled and grateful to be everyone’s choice for so many years.
Sincerely,
Armand Ks

I was in my towns first pride parade yesterday, and something happened.
For context, I was holding a big pride flag on a stick. A man, maybe early 20s was running around screaming 'fuck the gays' and a bunch of other homophobic stuff. He ran up to me, ripped it from my hands, and snapped the pole the pride flag was on.
Im fine, and just got a smallish bruise, but it seemed to startle a lot of people.
If you or someone you know does considers doing anything like this. Don't. It is extremely disrespectful, and I don't care what your beliefs are, never ever hurt people for it.
And to this young man, I get it, if you can't get pussy, you gotta be one
Edit: the gardí wanted me to make a statement because someone caught it on video lmao
Edit again: I wasn't allowed to make a statement bc my mother doesn't want trouble

#OTD in 1867 – The ‘Manchester Martyrs’ are hanged in Manchester, England: Fenians, Michael Larkin, William Philip Allen, and Michael O’Brien.
On 18 September 1867 about fifty Irish Fenians, led by William Allen, attacked a prison van guarded by a large number of unarmed police at Hyde Road in Manchester, England. Their aim was to release two important Fenian prisoners, Thomas J. Kelly and Timothy Deasy. In the course of freeing the men, an unarmed police sergeant, Charles Brett, was shot dead, and 26 men were eventually tried for their…

Temporary project
Graveyard Corruption
youtube
The Marlfield Catholic church in Clonmel is located right next to a 19th c graveyard which immediately brought images of natural corruption. I tried to capture this temporary feeling of brevity that emanates from this historical site through the digital corruption technique of pixel sorting.
Inspired by The Peripheral Season 1 | Title Sequence
youtube
The title sequence was produced by Patrick Clair director, creative director, and motion designer currently based in Sydney, Australia. He is creative head of production studio Antibody. More of his work can be seen on his IMDB page:
The intro relies heavily on the same pixel sorting technique that I have frequently used throughout my temporary project. Thematically this effect is very effective as the show focuses on technological corruption that through quantum time travel affects the past in negative ways. The human relationship with nature is also a key theme in the show, and how our negative relationship eventually corrupts us all.

One of my favorite implications in Kings of Clonmel is the implication that Halt is only a light sleeper because he feels perpetually unsafe, but being in the same town where he grew up tricks his brain into feeling safe enough to really fall into a deep sleep, hence the sudden appearance of snoring
There's just so many ways to use it

I just realized that Will didn’t get the actual gathering experience for so long. His first one was interrupted by the Kalkaras, maybe he went to the second one, but his third? His fourth? The ones where he should have been celebrating, the ones where he should have been making friends and meeting the other rangers that he could have looked up to? He was in Skandia, forgetting everything because of warmweed. He was fighting in wars, battling enemies so much larger than him, and he was doing it almost entirely alone. He didn’t get to sing songs and show the other rangers his mandola, or yell to them Greybeard Halt, for at least 4 years. He barely got the full ranger experience until he was an adult.
