Back in 2007 for some reason maybe involving a mental episode, I looked up Ray Darcy on wikipedia, and I noticed that his entry didn’t have a picture.

So as part of my bid for early sainthood, I sprang into action and spent 2 sweaty hours doing this portrait. It was probably mainly a reflection on my social life at the time.

Anyhoo - I just checked and it’s still up there. Yay. I think I captured his essence with this effort. Of course this does not mean that Ray should call me up now and interview me on his radio show. God no! Or offer me 50 Euro for the framed original. Certainly not. Put your money away Ray now, and don’t be silly.

[PS: I saw Ray Darcy drinking in The Long Hall on Georges Street a few months back. He's not as small as you'd expect. He's maybe 5'8]
