In an attempt to break a Guinness World Record, a Japanese artist spent an entire year drawing a Father Ted-inspired picture every single day.
Cabra-based Shota Kotake started honouring Craggy Island’s favourite priest with a daily drawing last May, to celebrate the 20 year anniversary of the iconic TV show.
With the 365th picture for the Ted-A-Day project being completed last week, we thought we’d assemble 33 of our personal favourites by Shota.
Check them out below.
