An Rinn expressionist artist Mick Mulcahy was among the mystery guests that appeared on RTÉ's The Tommy Tiernan Show on Saturday night.
A renowned-artist, Mulcahy has travelled the world in recent years - and told the host of his encounters with various cultures and tribes, his interest in cannibalism amongst various other topics.
He reflected on his evolution as an artist, noting the clarity and depth his work has gained over the years, and shared his experiences of traveling to big cities and visiting museums and art galleries to learn and be inspired.
Mulcahy recounted his early life, including his mother's death at age 12 and his father's decision to send him to art school in Clongowes.
He also touched on his struggles, including institutionalisation and the impact of electroconvulsive therapy, which he said left him feeling like a zombie for three to four years, and how it affected his creativity.
The interview has been met with widespread claim and appraisal this morning, with many having previously been unaware of Mulcahy and his fascinating life tales.
