      My Work

      Whether it's Advertising or Design, Concepts or Copywriting, AI Art or Traditional Art, I bring great ideas to life.

      THERE ARE THOSE WHO CALL ME, DEREK REDICAN

      Who I am

      Welcome, I’m Derek Redican — Senior Creative Director specialising in CRM, loyalty and integrated customer communications.

      30+ years’ experience working with agencies and brands on retention programmes, direct marketing, print-led campaigns, and cross-channel systems — from strategy through to execution.

      I provide full creative support, from concept development and campaign creation to design, image production, and brand communication. Over the years, I’ve delivered award-winning campaigns across Ireland, the UK, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia. Whether you need fresh ideas, integrated marketing solutions, or striking visual assets, I bring creative thinking that is both strategic and effective.

      Alongside my professional work, I’m also an Original Artist and AI Artist, recently named in LinkedIn’s Top 100 AI Artists 2024. My artwork blends the discipline of advertising craft with the daring of fine art. I create surreal portraits and conceptual images that are bold, haunting, and layered with meaning. You can explore my latest pieces in the Gallery.

      At the crossroads of art, design, and technology, Redican.Art is my platform for creative innovation. Whether you’re a brand looking for breakthrough campaigns or a collector searching for thought-provoking contemporary art, I’d love to connect.

      For more about my projects and recognition from the global creative community, you can also find me on LinkedIn.

      You need creativity. Why choose me?

      IDEAS

      The depth and extent of my international creative career. As well as the focus I always put on concepts forming the backbone of every campaign I work on.

      DESIGN

      I approach Design in the very same way I approach Advertising and creativity in general. Graphic Design works better when it is based on ideas rather than being purely decorative and trendy.

      AI ART & IMAGERY

      I view myself as an "AI Explorer," creating conceptual imagery that blends both AI and manual techniques. AI is a game-changing tool for artists, one that not only increases productivity but also removes the "blank canvas" barrier.
