Niall O'Loughlin Creates New Bono Painting

Irish artist Niall O'Loughlin has created a new Bono painting and is offering lithographs on his site. O'Loughlin, who donated two of his paintings (one of U2, one of Bono) to the Vertigo Vegas fan gathering, gained notoriety when it was rumored that Bono was interested in one of his paintings.

For more information on O'Loughlin, or to purchase some of his work, visit www.nialloloughlin.com. You can also check out Interference.com's interview with the artist here.

I was one who won one of Niall's lithographs at the Vegas Interference gathering! It's hanging on my office (aka U2 shrine) wall! This is cool that he's got more. I shall check them out and maybe collect them!

The picture doesn't look anything like Bono! The only recognizable things are the shades, the ear ring and the mick!?!

it reminds me of those funny puppets from the 80's that were exxagerations of celebrities and political figures and were featured in that genesis video..

I find that pic looks funny. It's something different like a portrait.

 

[tommyvill]

[Vincent Vega]

A microphone.
