Painting U2 is the geekiest thing I do, and I hesitate to even discuss it with family members. I was the cartoonist for atu2.com from 2002 to 2020 when the site disbanded. Instead of doing something quick and easy like a normal person might, I decided to paint my panels with watercolor, and below are some of the fruits of my labor.
My cartoons and other U2 writing live at achtoonbaby.com now. Check it out if you're interested, and several of these paintings are available for purchase on this site.
As frighteningly uncool as all of this is, in 2002 and 2016 I showed these little U2 paintings of mine at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. In 2019-20, the Illinois State Museum in Springfield (and their Lockport gallery) featured three of these paintings in their Rocked and Rolled group exhibition. Most amazingly of all, two of my paintings are now part of the Little Museum of Dublin’s permanent collection and can be viewed in their U2 room.
