David and Goliath type thing

Inspired by the story of David and Goliath

Edward The Yeti

                              this is Edward, and he's a yeti.... Edward the yeti

Keeping the trend going

Since we're getting a trend with unicorns and ponies, here's my entry:

Tolkien Eagle

Seeing as the Hobbit part 2 is out soon, here's one of the giant eagles... with a giant ring :P

Rebacca

So it was Rebecca's birthday this weekend and while wishing her a happy birthday on facebook I misspelt her name which led me to think of this fantastical creature. A mixture of Rebecca and Chewbacca complete with a rebel alliance pony!

It's a Unicorn, I swear

What I thought unicorns looked like when I was a kid.
It felt like it was missing something so I added the rainbow

Guiness Girl

you know in French object are male or female, and so beers are girls!

Flying Monster here!

Have been having great fun rediscovering Photoshop! :D

I don't know what used to be written here but this is an ukiyo-e woodblock print style ninjashow fanart to celebrate the end of season one or something. I used papers I collected when I lived in Tsuwano and knowlege I probably collected on the internet.

Monkey Rat Thing

Ana could always be heard laughing away at something as you walked through the studio. She will me missed and Boulder wishes her all the best!

Get a job Grouch

Quick one of Oscar from Sesame street.

Frog and Banjo

It's hard to do justice to the sincere and genuine message of love that Jim Henson tried to give to the world....so here's a frog playing the banjo.

Labyrinth.

Quick Slimer scribble.

Ghostbusters

Tubby Soft Squeeze or better know as the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man.

A Ghost is a Ghost

I actually had a blue Ghostbuster proton pack when I was a kid. Made completely out of plastic with stickers for the screens and lights, and a giant yellow foam thingy for the proton stream. You eventually run out of ghosts to catch from the movies :)

Ghostbuster play day :)

When I was young, my father used to put gel on my thick short hair and with a hoover and a cereal box (plus the nerdy glasses) we used to go play Ghostbusters :) aaahh good whole childhood!

and here's the pic when we were young :D love the sticker my dad made for the jumper !

Ghostbuster!!

The New King Pin

A very well deserved congradulations to Jamie Teehan  for his pretty damn amazing piece of Animation for our Animal Behaviour theme. He's walking away a pretty happy man today with some Star Wars Lego!!!

A very big well done to the runners up, last month winner Sophia Daly and another previous winner Aine McGuinness.

Thanks all who posted last month and may we have many more for the next theme, soon to follow so keep an eye out for the update.

it's not for you

very last minute!

My Tarantula

My pet spider ate its first cricket after fasting for 5 MONTHS!!!  Apparently Tarantulas can live up to 2 1/2 years without food! He had me worried for a while, what a Cutie!!

"Slow Milk"

"Slow Milk" is a piece by Danielle O'Brien, a.k.a. Robin Hoshino of News of the Curd (www.newsof thecurd.com). Featured at her exhibition "Biosphere" @ Tamp and Stitch yesterday. Congrats to Danielle on a very sucessful opening night! Exhibition runs til June 5th and pieces are selling fast.

Baby Slow Loris

Baby Slow Loris in a tree. These poor little mites are on the endangered species list cause people think they are so cute they want them as pet.. Dopes!!!! Watched a documentary on them a few weeks back and they are fascinating little creatures but it's all very sad.
It is also very sad that I had a nightmare trying to colour and finish the damn picture so I say F**k it the sketch is better then knowt.

Loris Behaviour: These guys secret a toxin from their underarm glands that they lick and mix with their own saliva. They lick themselves and their young with this toxic saliva to protect themselves from predators and parasites. You get a bite off a Slow Loris and your in a bit of trouble and can be left pretty badly scared from the toxin mixing in the wound.

Animal Behaviour

Quick ink painting. Last minute as always!

Thinking Too Hard

I don't like cats.... I do like dogs.

Ah no, cats are ok.

Our Family Dog

This is Molly, shes a Beagle. She has a great sense of smell and loves to go hunting in the countryside chasing rabbits and howling when she finds something!

Sloth

How I couln't give to be him some time... you know this days when retakes are coming....

Karma Karma Karma K-animal behaviour!

Decided to experiment with a GIF this month, so here's some unusual animal behaviour all gif'd up!

Here's a pic too, just for the craic!

T-REX

This kid's is behaving like a Trex...
Dunno where the idea came from but I do remember running round the house with my arms tucked right in shouting like a dinosaur wen I was younger (you know like 17/18)... so I guess its loosely based on that... sept I didn't have a sweet costume!! :(

Curious behaviour!!

George

So this is my brother and sister's cat George. I went home to see them the other morning but neither were home. George raced out to sit in the sun when I opened the door and I couldn't get him back in.
So here he is lounging in the sun.

Animal behavior!!!

All I could think of for this theme was good old Animal from the Muppets!

Boulder Kart!

In celebration of the first birthday I'm posting the pic I never got finished for the video game theme.


So here's the roster.

JT - Jamie Teehan - Mario
MP - Mick Plummer - Luigi
NB - Neev Brennan - Peach
PS - Pete Slattery - Yoshi
TG - Tom Gray - Bowser
ES - Ed Smith - Donkey kong
FJ - Fran Johnston - Koopa trooper
GC - Gill Comerford - Toady
JOB - Jenny O Brien
BC - Borja Chicharro Huertas

Borja got moved when Fran posted the koopa pic on the blog, so then I had to balance it out and Jenny has "mad karting skillz" (her words, not mine) so she had to be added then.
