COSMIC BACON IS...

…the portfolio website for Belfast based artist John McFarlane.

Cosmic Bacon was created in 2010 as a digital outlet for the display and sale of the personal artwork of John McFarlane. The name Cosmic Bacon comes from the owners love of both space and breakfast treats.

This portfolio site encompasses all of jobs and positions held within the games, TV & Film industries since I began working as a full time illustrator.

I’m currently working as Art Director for Buck Eejit Games in Belfast, I began there in 2022 and over the year worked on various titles, most notably Gaelic Football Laochra which shipped in summer 2026. 

I’ve been working in the Games and Comic book Industries for over 15 years total. Working on a variety of titles and with a number of talented teams to create truly unique art.

As a person I enjoy comic books, science fiction stories, playing games and being a girl dad.

I'm also afraid of sharks, we all have our shortcomings.
