Sadhbh

One of the gals I work with, Moni had a little baby girl on the 29.6.09 called Sadhbh. Welcome to the world little lady.

This is Sadhbh and her Mam with some of the Boulder crew.

Murcia Spain

I was away in Murcia Spain lastweek with Justine, Alli-cat or Albert (who turned the beautiful age of 30 over there), Denise(Dennis), Trish (T) and Barry. Back home now and the tan is fading super fast.....

Zen

I was given this little project to do for a very talented young Tennis player called Julie. It is a bookmark type thing that she can keep with her when she is in tournaments to remind her to keep her focus and stay calm. I hope it works for her.

Update: here is the final piece... see what ya think?

A Great Start to June

So here we are and after 2 years of no summer we finally got some sunshine. The past few days in lil' ol Dublin have just been just the most gorgeous days in such a long time. Trips to the beach and up to the Dublin Mountains for some fantastic views of the city followed by BBQ's and maybe a beer or two.

It sure beats the grey skies, rain and cold that the Irish have become so accustomed to. Long may it last I say.

Baby Falkor

Some Sketches

Real Life Monsters

Had a very quite Easter so rather than stuffin' myself with easter eggs I decided I would try my hand at makin' one of my little monsters into a real monster. I haven't really used a sewing machine properly before so it was vwery,vwery interesting. At one stage I had sown his arm on the insideout part....DOH! He is kinda bockety here and there and alot of everywhere but I think that adds character (well, that's what I'm sticking too).

Oh and his arms are suposed to be that long and his legs that short....a few people have said did ye mix the arms up on the legs? Nope, that was intentional!!!

Ben, my rescue dog.

Hey now everybody. Here is some great news. I have adopted a little Shih Tzu, now called Ben. After the tragic loss of Molly the house felt so empty so I decided to adopt a rescue dog. I found Ben on the http://www.friendsofbendogrescue.com/ website by a total fluke. So I rang straight away to see if he still needed a home. A week later, he was rehomed with me and is doing really well. Ben was found totally neglected, matted and underweight. He is such a clever, happy, effectionate little dude. I am so chuffed he is living with us now.
The people at The Friends of Ben Dog Rescue Centre do some seriously amazing work for animals that have been thrown by the wayside and forgotten about or abused. It is heartbreaking to see so many dogs on SO MANY websites looking for homes. So if any of you out there are looking for a new family pet. Maybe try a rescue centre instead, rather than a brand new puppy and give some little runt a fresh go at a deadly new life.
I know it sounds like one of those save the animals ads but it's true. Ireland should be ashamed of the neglect of so many of their animals. Some of these Irish rescue centres/ pounds send off dogs to other countries to be rehomed because those countries don't have these enormous problems with stray dogs.
That's my rant done with for now.

Don't you think he looks a bit like an Ewok ?!?

Where did march go?

As the title of this post makes clear, where did March go? Anybody? Sorry for the lack of postage or no postage at all in March. I guess I just dunno what happened, alot has gone on. Hope to post something amazing very soon.

2009 in OZ

Happy New Year to all who visit my blog. I am at this very moment in Australia. I decided to pack my bags and get the hell out of the doom and gloom of little ol' Dublin for the Christmas and New Years. It is pretty surreal celebrating Christmas in 30 degrees heat. It has been great just getting away from everything and relaxing for the few weeks and hangin out with the Ozzie part of my family, IN THE SUNSHINE. I was deprived of my vitamin D so badly. Ireland is a cruel, cruel place.

I am still managing to wear my wooly hats here too though, I don't think I will ever change. I get all lot of stick from everybody here...."what? you can't be bloody cold here mate!"

Anyway, thanks a squillion to all who have visited my blog and especially those who have come back again to see more.

I looked back over my New years blog entry for lastyear. It was funny. I had myself down to be a non-smoker this year. Pifft,that never happend....

Update:
Molly passed away after a routine opperation in March. She was only 6 months old and was one awesome little pal of mine. I was very sad when she never came home that day. So.... here's to Molly X

This site will be well worth checking out. I worked with Stephen for a few years and hope to again soon. He is a very talented artist and an amazing animator. Anyway, here is his new blog. It speaks for itself. Stephen was always playing tricks on the other animators in the studio, his favourite being a Mr Rob Etchingham. You where in for umm....a treat if you got him as your Kris Kindle!

Wall-E Doodle

This is just a gilldoodle of Wall.E I did while waiting eagerly for the new Pixar movie. I watched the latest trailers and an interview with Andrew Stanton about the other robots in the movie. As if Wall. E himself wasn't cute enough then they introduce M-O. There is going to be a cute overload...I love it...and did I mention I cannot wait for the movie, only a month left. Yeay!

Not so scary monster.

I have been all sick for about 3 week now. Tonsillitus set the ball rolling, followed by one of the worst head colds ever. It kinda felt like being underwater. Things sounded funny and I couldn't see too well alot of the time so ended up making faces at people who probably thought I was giving them dirty look or somethin'. Ah well. Feeling mucho better today though.
