Sure, we knew Pat Mullan was a dab hand at the old page-blackening, with The Circle of Sodom and Blood Red Square under his metaphorical belt – but who could’ve known he was such a fine canvas-wrecker too? The canvas pictured is titled Life Forms II, and while we don’t know much about art, we do know … actually, scratch that, we know nothing about art. Quoth Pat: “Let the pictures speak for themselves. When I write I see everything in pictures: the words then follow. In art I have been inspired by Miro, de Kooning, Pollock, Calder, Picasso, Chagall, Rothko, Stella, Kandinsky, Matisse – abstract expressionism, modernism and post-modernism.”Hmmm, lovely. Check out more of Pat’s oeuvre over at the Saatchi Gallery … and if any other writers-cum-artists want to fire us off a sample of their work, we’d be only too delighted to get an informal gallery going to decorate the electronic halls of Crime Always Pays Towers. KT McCaffrey, this means you.

...Declan, now you've become an on-line gallery as well ... thanks for the exposure ! Just read your article in the latest CRIMESPREE MAGAZINE (How the Celtic Tiger funded the Irish crime fiction boom) - excellent! You could write an article per issue on the subject - speaking of which, drop into my site at ITW - www.thrillerwriters.org/patmullan - and read the synopsis of my latest, THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL - fits right into your subject matter...
Slan go foill,
Pat.
