Childhood Hero....

..... depends what day of the week it was.

A long time ago... I had a childhood hero

So here's the guy I imagined myself to be, running through fields in a time long past, in a galaxy far away...

Childhood Hero

While most older brothers would torture their younger siblings, Mike would always let me join in. The only problem was keeping up.... (My haircut and the cloths are unfortunately accurate).

My Dad-the Hero

So while I was working on this months theme (which I never managed to get finished) my 3 year old Jonah wanted to do one too and here's his contribution to this months hero theme, suprisingly not Spiderman, but his Daddy. Bless.

Hitchcock

Since nine years old when I saw Psycho Hitchcock has been a hero of mine. Quick quick one, you can tell!

Simba was my dear hero! (I was 7 ok??)

lion king was my hero (pretty lame I know...) had music cassettes, VHS and posters everywhere in the room and (the biggest secret of all...had a dance group where we used to dance to the songs!)

The guy I grew up basing my life on was The Fall Guy! Fell a long way short though! Ha Ha!

Tank Girl.... my childhood hero

I took a bit of a liberty with the idea of 'childhood hero', but I did find out about TG when I was in my teenage years, so I'm counting that as childhood.

September Theme.

Okey doke!

They thought he was dead.

They thought he'd be taller.

THEY WERE WRONG.

Thought I'd go a bit minimalist for this one.

Re-Imagine A Movie Poster

So what if, in an alternate universe, Pixar got their hands on the rights to Jurassic Park...?

Re-Imagine A Movie Poster

He's thinking..."Am I a robot or what?

One of my favourite films. It's not all dark streets, pink neon and rain, I love the colour schemes and dream-like atmosphere above street level.

Re-imagine a Movie Poster

I'd love to see a Thor movie based on the Norse myths instead of the Marvel comics.

Theme Change

Nice job for everyone who posted for July/August, it's been a very hectic month for us all. The new theme running until  August 31st is...
Lots of people excited about this one.

"Re-Imagine a Movie Poster"

The winner for last month will be decided on Friday so stay tuned.

My own monster

Sorry for the late submission! But here it is my monster!

Monster in Mid-Air?

Arrrghhhh!!!

Ohhhh...not finished the way I would have liked at all but I think I made the deadline...kinda. Is he even a Monster, looks more like a killer Goat or somethin...

McGannimonster

When Stephen was a Little Girl

I had to repost this, I was afraid it might have got lost from the theme cause it was posted way back in week one. So here is is again...Stephen McGanns post for "Monster in my Closet".

Monster in my Closet

Here's is Jenny O' Briens submission for "Monster in my Closet"....Love it!

A monster in me drawers!

It was a bit of a rush job to get this one in on time (with a few seconds to spare!) 

Stuck

Quicky to hit the already extended deadline.

Closet Monster

Just got this guy done in the nick of time.

Monsters in my closet entry

This is my contest entry for the "Monsters in my closet"

contest...also my first post!

Monster OUT The Closet

He's saying ......."Talk To The Hands"....

This is my first ever attempt at a digital painting in Photoshop. I've been watching 'How to..' videos for the last few days. There was meant to be a wee fella nonchalantly playing with his toys in the foreground but due to the deadline I didn't quite finish him (ho-hum).

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.
