Unoxicorn

Eventually it is finished but I missed the deadline by a couple of days. I'm still gonna hijack the boulder blog and stick it in the middle of another theme anyway. This is my Hybrid animal a Unoxicorn, a cross between a fox and a unicorn. Again I'm not too sure if this will count as a unicorn is a mythical creature or is it? This is in memory of railway fox and timid vixen.

Just No Time

It's been a little while since I have posted anything. I've been mad busy in work with El Tigre and another little test I'm doing. I've been trying to get something together for the Boulder Art Blog too and have a piece in the works but it is findiing the time to finish it is almost impossible. The theme is Hybrid animals.....Wuzzles if you like!
To be honest I doubt if I get many visitors to my site so for the odd visitor I'll post something soon.
Slan.

Eleven minus the 'E'....


Jamie Teehan or Teenwolf (umm) as he likes to be called from time to time, set a two week task for the Boulder artists going with the theme, Eleven/11..... I decided to minus the E from the Eleven and there you go.......Elven.

Not sure if this will count but what the hell!



WeeWabbit!

Let me introduce a few friends

I have managed, with kind help from Fran to attach links to some amazing artists. Some of which I work with and others that have inspired my own work. So check them all out, I'll keep updating it as I go on but there are so, so many.

AidO)))


This is an image I did of AidO))) on his guitar as you can see. It is an animated piece but he asked me not to put it up until the sound has been put to it, so until then the still will have to do.
Thanks Aido your the best!

'Cause I enjoyed the first one so much

Ello,ello,ello. As the title of this post suggests I'm sure you get the idea...... I was out with my Mam over the weekend being Easter and all and the fact that I missed my dog Angel, had alot to do with it .I found myself rooting through some of my old sketchbooks, doodles and notebooks which still are kinda cool so I'll try get some of that stuff up on the blog for the laugh.

Little China Girl

Bring on the long weekend!

How bout that

I have nothing visual to post at the moment but here is a little news flash for those of you following Boulders progress. The show we have been working extremly hard at for the last 6 months or so was launched in the states on Saturday. It is a show for Nickelodeon called 'El Tigre'. The word from the states is that the ratings for the show have never been as high not even for the incredible Spongebob.....Now, how do you like them apples? The show looks great and it makes all the hard work worthwhile.

Florence



Finally, I managed to get a little piece of animation up. Surprisingly it wasn't the torture that I thought it was gonna be to upload. Boulder had a little bit of down time many, many, many, many moons ago( I would die for a bit of down time now) and the studio where allowed to do a 10/20sec piece. The brief was pretty open to whatever you wanted. I really enjoyed doing this....so em, enjoy!

Lost in Space....

A friend of mine put a very funny description to this picture I had done so I thought I would post it up.......
Little white bear nearing his or her explosive end in the vacuum of Space. Could be an analogy of how little time we have in boring vacuous situations. Especialy for an excitable white bear. Or it could be an illustration of bears determination, their ability to hold in oxygen when any other animal, including monkeys and particularly humans would be turned inside out. This would make sense as bears are damned determined. Apparently shooting them only makes them mad, so shooting them into space would probably irritate them even more. I can see this bear pursuing it's prey (Possibly the never before documented inter-galactic fresh space salmon) to another solar system.

Thanks Bren

The Burning Man

Now, for those of you who have never heard of The Burning Man, it is a festival that happens in the Nevada desert in The Black Rock City. For one week of the year people come together to express themselves creatively through art,music and dance. It is a completly non commercial festival and the spirit there is unforgetable. I was lucky enough to have gone there twice as part of an amazing Irish crew called 'The Paddy Mirage'. Here is a photo I took my first year there in 2003. The Temple was created by a man called David Best and built in the sweltering temperatures of the desert by one of the most dedicated crews I have ever met.


Another of David Bests creations, The Party Bus. This would gladly drive you around Burning Man and if you wanted to get off you simply just slid down the slide that was attached to the side and there you go......genius. Imagine this driving down the streets of Dublin!

Justine


This is a picture I did of one of my friends Justine, who is a very talented young lady who, at the moment is climbing the corpoarte ladder all the way to the top ! This picture was hugly inspired by an artist called Kirsten Ulve check her out at www.kirstenulve.com. Her work is amazing.

All on mines own


There may be a kind of running theme through my blog for the first while that consists of oddly shaped bears or poor critters with bulbus eyes. They are all pretty simple and quick designs but I enjoy drawing them.

Well Hello There....

....and welcome to my blog. I'm just getting started with this stuff so bare with me as I was not born with the 'amazing with computers' gene. It's normally a computer malfuntion once I enter the room but I'm trying, so hopefully I will have something nice to show you soon. Fingers crossed.
