Bert, The Designer of Things, is a multi-disciplined graphic designer and architectural artist.
On a mission to illustrate all 80 working lighthouses around the Irish coast there's 55 Irish lighthouses in the collection so far.
There is such a beauty to these towers, and how they stand over the ocean. I am gobsmacked by how these structures were created 150 to 200 years ago. How and where they were built is just utterly fascinating. I'm especially drawn to any of the lighthouses that were built on rocky islands in these crazily remote locations
Considering the time they were built in and the tools available at the time, not to mention the sheer scale of it when you are near them it is awe-inspiring.
Arranmore Print
Situated on Arranmore, the largest inhabited island of Co Donegal this lighthouse has stood there since 1798, although it had been decommissioned in 1832 it was opened again in 1859. It’s convenience to the Atlantic Ocean meant that the lighthouse had been used as a World War II post and helped to look out for U-Boats.
