I’m going to illustrate Irish “characters”. Suggestions welcome

  1. The Guinness drinking GAA auld lad that’s trying to live vicariously through the young players.

    Great work, man 👌

  2. You should do one of a man in an orange high vis, big red head on him, tiny legs, big belly, brown hair, huge arms, denim jeans and a tattoo that says “pure irish beef” on the right foreman. That would be John, I work with him. He’s a mad bastard originally from Tipp with a heart of gold. Strong as a fucking ox as well. I’d love to be able to show him. Brown work boots as well, always has his golden retriever with him, usually drinking a bottle of orange and eating a box of wedges. If you do happen to take my idea on board include the phrase “not just a fat bastard”. That’s what he says when he solves a problem.

  3. A Dublin taxi driver, the ones that smell of battered sausages and john player cigs and hates all the foreigners. Drives a Toyota.

  4. The sleepers. The aul one in the pub that gets a pint then nods off in the corner. But the plot twist is that they are t really sleeping. They are gathering pintman intel.

  5. Rugged guy with purple nose, newspaper under arm, fat old jack Russell and a deep contempt for anyone not 6 generations deep in his town.

  6. Mrs McGuinness, of the local ICA branch. You know her, she also does raffles for the GAA and she set up the community text alert group.

  7. Cocaine head middle manager who you have to pretend to like because he’s related to the owner of the company. He doesn’t get jokes but for some reason thinks he’s funny and is always up for “the craic” because his mrs left him.

    For detail, he’ll be wearing boat shoes, frayed legs on boot cut jeans and a shirt that has pink on it somewhere.

  8. Young lad. Wearing a hoody tracksuit. No socks. Air max. Sh1t haircut. Whispy bumfluff moustache. Stud earing. Skinny, shaved head, pointy nose and chin, eyes too close together. One hand down his pants the other squeezing the life out of a cigarette. If you can find a way to show the ungodly smell of sh1te mixed with builders armpit from the weed they’re smoking 24/7.

  9. The Dub who owns a horse.

    The West Cork hippie

    The not-so-secretly-repiblican secondary school teacher.

    The irish gym bro

    The orange girl

    The Gareth Brooks concert attending middle aged woman

    The croke park flag seller

    The almost definitely embezzling village shopkeeper

  10. Nice farmer. For another idea, how about the publican? Some recognition for the man or woman that pours us our pints.

  11. The reliable barmaid. Knows everyone’s order. Has a pen in her ponytail, usually wiping down a baby chair. Seen in every carvery in ireland

  12. The FG/FF county councillor, whose the pillar of society and somehow owns every business in a rural village/small town. Usually, they’re a bit rotund, red cheeked, and have a bit of male pattern baldness to boot. They’ll always drop a condolence on RIP.ie, too, just to keep in with the local electorate.

  13. Tracksuited teens vaping in the back of the bus. Have to be a group portrait though, never seen fewer than 3 of them at a time.

  14. “The lad”, grey tracksuit bottoms, a dangerously tight white lacoste T-shirt, north face jacket, that stupid peaky blinders fade haircut, disposable vape, clutching his pint in his hand above his waist while his other hand points to his mate in the photo
