2009!!!

How did that happen!

I neglected my blog for long enough. And with the encouragement of my friends (you know how you are you shower of c*^ts) I've returned to my blog.

To be honest, the lack of stuff on here is because i grew very tired in the last year of looking at computer screens. Hopefully the new project i'm working on about to begin it'ill help inspire me a little too.

So heres the first post in a year. Theyre 2 portraits I made for my folks for christmas. I got them printed on convas cause i cant paint for shit.
Anyway roll on post 2...

(Thanks lads)

Boulder

Yes yes, i know its 2008 and i havent posted since october of 07, but i've been kinda busy. Anyway. I finish my current contract with boulder quite soon. So as a thing i posted this picture on the company blog. Its a collection of drawings i did of nearly everyone i've worked with there.

To say i was more than happy to have spent the last 4 and a half years working with these people is an understatement.

Working in Boulder was brilliant. The crew were a collection of the most talented people I've gotten to work with.


So to all my friends, i hope to work with everyone again.

This Is great

Just saw this on youtube and as everyone knows i love arrested developement...



(and yes, i have noticed that i havent posted any art in a bit, i'm on it)

Fran is a Legend!

So, i found out quite late about a comic con, some of my friends were going to in Birmingham 2 weeks ago. Mike Mignola was gonna be at it, and as everyone should know by now, he is one of my all time favourite artists. But alas, i couldnt afford to go.

However Fran being the total legend that he is, on seeing my disappointment, he got Mignola to sign a poster for me! So i went home like a child last night in a state of pure joy and took these pics of it.

And then i went and checked Fran's blog last night and look at this! it's Fran gettint the poster signed!

Mel Blanc

What can you saw about the most amazing voice actor to have ever worked in animation. He's pure class



However, does anyone else notice how much he and Galvin look alike!!!

To Mike Wieringo

I kinda wanted to post this separately. Not that my views on this will be read much, but i just wanted to post something about Mike Wieringo dying over the weekend.

As everyone knows i'm a comicbook nerd and i just wanted to post a picture in remembrance of Ringo. I first found Ringo's work when a friend told me to read Flash like 10 years ago. To say it had a profound effect on me is an understatement. I had always wanted to meet him.

Ringo was a brilliant artist and is one of my all time favourite spidey artists.

Anyway its all been said better than i could ever say it over on newsarama, so i just wanted to post a picture of his.

I'm Back

Ok, so i've been a little distance over the last couple of weeks, but to tell you the truth i've been kinda trying to keep busy. Not that drawing aint a way to keep busy but i've found the last while a bit tough when trying to get started. Any way i promise i'll be posting artwork again now.

Thanks to everyone

So i thought I'd just post something small right now, a thank you to all my friends for 2 things.

firstly for supporting the cycle, i raised €1,050 and i was well delighted about that. I'll get the over all number of what we raised when Damo gets it all together, but i fairly figure we beat our target of €5,000.

Secondly, I'd like to thank all my friends over the last two weeks for looking out for me. With the death of my Grandfather I've been sort of running on auto pilot and that would explain both my lack of work on both this blog and the running of the boulder one...

Anyway, i hope to turn things round this week and get the head together!

I'll probably do a proper post tomorrow night about my grandad tomorrow night, but for anyone who hadn't met him or hasn't heard me talk about him (you should have listened), here's the article that was printed in the cork echo last week.

p.s. thanks Chris for scanning it and sending it to me
