News Flash!!

We interupt....

......this blog posting to announce that the "Monster in my Closet" theme will be extended until the 6th of August due to the exasperating amount of work people have put into the Animation Art Auction and into Randy Cunningham over the last few weeks (months even). By popular demand, the theme will be on going for a couple more weeks as people really all seem quite interested in posting something but have been just run off their little tootsies!!!

Be There Yo!

And just in case you still weren't aware of the "Animation Art Auction" check it out here....not naming names Adam...Ahem!!!
This Sunday in the Science Gallery, Pierce Street, Dublin. Doors 12.30. Bring yourself and any friends you have that have lots of cash to spend for a great cause and sure it'll be lots of fun.
Best of luck Simon, Estrela and Bianca, we hope the day goes really well for you all and you raise a whopper load of cash.

Monsters in my Closet

Duracell Bunny

This is so Awesome!!! Jenny mailed me her embroidered Duracell Bunny Power Animal post this morning. It is a shame she missed the deadline.

So Coool!

Skullduggery!

All a bit Fuzzy

Not only is he a new Daddy but now he is this months winner of the "Power Animal" theme. Getting in at the last minute with his second post, "Fuzzball" was well worth it. Check out McGanns stunning blog here.

Well done Stephen!!!
Congrats also to our runners up Grainne Quinlan and John Walsh, and everyone else who posted something....I tell ya, it was really hard voting this month.

July, Theme 4

Hi There,

The next theme for y'all is.

"Monsters in my Closet"
Manuela's was the chosen one for July, thank you!

I love the aul Monsters so can't wait to see the entries at the end of this month. Yeahy

Also, as you all know Simon, Estrela and Bianca are doing the Art Auction again in July on a much bigger scale. Check out the blog page for more details...here

They have asked that maybe this months theme could be your submission to the Auction itself or if you have been working on a separate piece that would be amazing too!

The main thing is to get submissions in ontime....it's all for a great cause.

number 2

Asian Water Buffalo

Here is an Asian Water Buffalo. With a glass of milk for strong bones. One of the earliest domesticated animals in the world for their strength and for their milk. That makes them pretty cool. Humans have a lot to thank them for! A bit rushed towards the end but oh well. It's been a busy month!

Turtle Power!

Had 2 other things I was doing for this, but threw my back out today... so i'm posting this sketch instead.

Circus Bear

Felt and photoshop. I didn't have the time to sew it... sorry!

Survival Skills

This months theme made me think of totem poles, and a rather meandering chain of thought led to this.

Mr T centaur

Done the night before.... LIKE A BOSS. My laziest, most rushed submission so far.

But if there's an animal more powerful than MR T CENTAUR, I would very much like to know.

Power Cat

Feline Divine

Ghost

Dragonfly

Burrowing Owl

Burrowing owls are small and fast, although I think this one might also be in a gang or something...

MeOhohOw...

human,  the most powerful animal of all?

They always get what they want...!

Bears

Salmon from Chris O'Hara on Vimeo.

Mixing it up with an animation this month. Power of the bear!
(audio is from "Step Brothers")

Here's a pic aswell.

Honey Badger... grrrrr

Well I wouldn't go near one of these bastards anyway!

Guinea Pig

Forces of the past,
Forces of the future,
Forces of the present unite.
Bring together your knowledge and power
and help me win this fight.

Octopower!

There's no way like the octopus way!

King of the Jungle

The King of the Jungle, he's pretty powerful!

Power Bunny

Thought I'd get the ball rolling here with this months topic...
This is a bunny who sneaked out late at night and took a bite of a mysterious golden carrot.

And The Prize Goes Too....

Bloody Brilliant!!!

Vernas "Witchy Woman" takes the prize this month, her pic is bloody brilliant, bloody being the operative word!!! Check out Vernas superb blog here. Congrats dude!!!

Bryan's idea this month, thanks Bryan.

Get yor teeth around that one!

The winner for Witchy Women will be decided when the troops are back from Annecy.
So stay tunned!

A Witch for a Woman

This Moon shines bright, Magick of the night.
Fly be free, So mote it be!

Witchy Jules

I have my youngest niece Jules to thank for the inspiration :)

"Dinner is almost ready"

Here's a modern day housewife for my Witchy Women submission.

African witch doctory woman

So I did a course in japanese woodblock printmaking last weekend and I decided to kill two birds with one stone. Had to keep it simple as the piece of wood was quite small but think it turned out ok. Added a colour grad in photoplop to give it a bit of a kick. Will stick the original on my own blog if anybody wants to see.

Witchy Women

Margaret & Mary

Seemed like a good excuse to do some concept art for a script I wrote a while back (but not a good enough excuse to colour them in)

The Weird Sisters

These be the three witches from Macbeth, known as The Weird Sisters. Individually, they are Darkness, Conflict and Chaos. Fair is foul and foul is fair. Hover through the fog and filthy air...

I-no

I-no from the old guilty gear fighting games, always thought she was cool.

Witchy Woman

Wit beyond measure is man's greatest treasure!

Witchy Woman

Witchy woman

Your fairy tale... just around the corner.

Kiki the witch

My favourite Miyazaki's movie.

Witchy Woman!

Inspired by the Hansel and Gretel children's story.

Witchy Women

Ordinary Magician

I decided to draw my current favourite witch-lady, Marisa! She is one of the main characters from a series of Japanese shooter games that I like called Touhou Project. She can shoot lazers and stars at you, which I think is pretty cool....

Vampi... Uh witchy woman

Witch Sisters

Two witch sisters in the woods.... Bonus points to anyone who knows what this is from!
