“It still doesn’t feel real” says young Kilkenny man Seán Davis after Olivia Rodrigo hailed his artwork mid gig

A young Kilkenny artist is making headlines after his latest piece was hailed by global singing sensation Olivia Rodrigo. 

14-year-old Seán Davis’ talents are well-known locally in particular his Lego likenesses of some household names.

He was given VIP tickets as a Christmas present to Dublin’s 3Arena for the gig of the performer who’s known for tracks including Vampire, Good 4 U and Bad Idea Right?

And on receipt of the passes, he decided to work on a portrait of the American performer and actress.

She happened to spot it from the stage and came over to accept it to hang in her tour bus.

Seán, a student at Grennan College, told KCLR News “She was so kind about it as well, she was amazing, it still doesn’t feel real, I’m amazed.”
