The Story of Tis

Peadar , the artist, is descended from a tribe of Celts who ventured out onto the Wild North Atlantic ocean in currachs, (Native canoes).

Peadar studied Japanese Art History at Trinity College Dublin.

The "'Tis" was born on Merrion Square, Dublin , Ireland. Twiggy was the inspiration, our Siamese kitten.

The 'Tis pictures are usually drawn on the sea cliff path on Howth Head.

The "Tis" got its name when people asked "Is it a cat? , a mouse?, a bunny?, a rat?, an Ant?.

One lady said "Oh look my chiwawas"! and a Chinaman thought they were foxes.

Each time I answered, "Yes 'TIS", so they became known as 'Tis' Artist=TisArt
