My boy Stephen Thompson has begun work on a graphic novel. Called ‘Sister Shcnamperduke’ it’s about a minituare city with tiny Dec Shalveys running around.
No, I have no idea what it’s about but it’s called Near Death. And he’s doing a clever move by documenting the progress on a new blog. I really respect his sensibilities and although I’ve never seen any self written work, I know he has the skills. I drew a pic of him for todays Micks. He put the Friends theme tune on a loop and typed up the story on his Mac in a Starbucks.
Related to yesterday’s post. I found these two pics of the crap I painted and drew on my walls when I was 14. Poncho if you’re reading this please tell me you have a picture of the Turtle vs Slash disaster that disgraced your half of the room.
Banana Splits, I was very pleased with this.
I think it was meant to say ‘turn it off or I’ll chop your hand off’. My Da is a keen proponent of randomly painting on walls, one xmas he painted this magnificent Christmas scene all over the kitchen wall and then just painted over it a few days later. We had a huge Care Bears mural in our first house and my older bro had a Roland Rat. I have those on video and will show the world as soon as I figure out editing
The refrain of pussies in the summer water fights. There was always one kid who was afraid of going home soaking. I was never “not allowed get wet” and hosed them gicknahs as they balwed. Big deal, so your kid comes home wet and has to change their clothes.
I was thinking about this yesterday when I was hanging up some posters. There were kids in my class who’s parents didn’t allow them put posters on their wall and I presume they were also not allowed to get wet. I remember a friend wanted to put a wrestling poster in his bedroom and his Mam said no becasue a pin would make a hole and tape would damage the wall.
Nice.
We were allowed to paint all over the bedroom me and young Poncho shared, and he even began hacking away at the wall to try get into the house next door but that’s a different story. I can’t remember the point I was trying to make. Something about letting kids be kids. I know everybody hates him but Dice sums it up well in this off the cuff lecture. ‘Whack your bag and go back to sleep, wake up and whack it again’.
Let your kids get wet. Although judging by the amount of little knackers in my old estate you’d think they were mogwais.
Yes it’s true. Martin Lawlor from a company called Chi Health Care Ireland ripped off Bobby after drawing posters for his Community Health Fair so it is time to name and shame.
His website has already been dealt with so this post and the following posts aim to be number 1 in google so when prospective employers or contacts search for Martin Lawlor Community Health Fair Artane or Chi Health Care Ireland they will get this.
What a snake. I’ve emailed and texted him but no reply. He seemed like a nice bloke but you don’t stiff somebody who is doing you a bargain favour. He probably thinks that illustration is somehow fun and not a serious job/source of income. Plus he knows I live outside of Ireland and thinks I can be ignored.
Shame on Martin Lawlor from Community Health Care. He is not to be trusted. Feel free to link to this to help increase the Google ranking.
Here are the lame posters anyway, Phil Barrett saw them around his local shops, never mentioned them here I think.
Martin Lawlor is involved in Community Health fairs in Dublin. Martin is the owner of the now hacked Chi Health Ireland site . Martin Lawlor is also a former League of Ireland football player. But if you are planning on dealing with Martin Lawlor please be aware that he is a dishonest flake who wasted my time and has refused to pay me or even answer my mails.
I’m trying to be civil about this, pay up you clown.
I’m drew it all in one sitting with one pen, no pencilling or planning and it came out good. I also drew a crap picture of Orko vs Snarf for that weekly nightmare Eclectic Micks
I’ve got nothing to say. Well here’s one thing, last night was Christmas Eve for the wacky Spanish. Santa is a relatively new thing here and younger families acknowledge him but the rest wait for the three wise men as we know them. They’re the Three Magic Kings.
We did a Secret Santa thing and I got her sister’s fellah so I drew him this. Cheap bastard!
Did you read the heart warming conclusion to Say a Prayer? If not, prepare those cockles to be tickled
Word em up niglets. This is my first xmas in years that I took time off and wasn’t drawing or working on things and I’m loving it. Playing Onimusha 3 all week like a spa.
Happy new year to you all. Fun fact: In Spain they eat 12 grapes for the countdown and everybody was aghast to learn that other countries don’t do the same. Weirdos. Great comic on Spazzmoid right now
about me whining about Spain.
Ho ho holy shit it’s the most wonderful time of the year again…my annual prostate check! Been following the news in Ireland the past week, floods, NAMA, repossessions, doom agus gloom. I was whinging about the weather here but I have it handy compared some of the poor scamps I heard on Liveline who got fucked over by the economy and then flooded out of their house for dessert.
I put up my tree last week and we decorated it with Sylvanian Families.
And here is my awful xmas card that I sent out to everybody.
All in all it was a great year, thanks for dropping by and slagging me. 2010 sees the massive relaunch of this crummy site with all glossy web 6.9 graphics and crap as soon as the lads from Brightsky sober up. Here is their Christmas video.
Oh and PS: Big deal that Rage Against the Machine is the number one song for xmas. You anarchist you! Who cares if X factor is number 1? People love lame protests. You can all tell your grandchildren about how you stuck it to the man by voting back in 2009, cars on their sides, burning police men in riot gear running in circles. It would have weight if everybody voted for the sound of fingernails on a blackboard.
All you lucky pups in Dublin will probably have seen those mind boggling windows that have been turned into giant plasma tellies. There’s one on Dame Street currently showing Avatar
And another on Aungier St which features wacky animations by me. I also animated all of Avatar. Just joshin ya! I didn’t animate Avatar, only coddin’ yeh, just pulling your leg! Only having a laugh! ROFL slurp LOL pwned lol _%–!!!
No I made the ‘app’ that holds all the image and the videos, it can be controlled remotely by an iphone and it is the future.
Get your ass to Mars and take a look at them. And you can be a part of it, if you want to advertise or even create a short eye boggling clip for it give those studs in Micromedia a shout.
Poor old Neil Buchanan is either spinning in his grave or counting his bankroll. Art Attack is on the telly everyday here in Spanish. Clever move, half of the segments are wordless, like the big overhead pics he does (which are still Neil in the Spanish version) and the puppet fellow in the museum so it can be sold on anywhere.
I loved Art Attack, Rolf’s Cartoon Club even Draw with Don if I was stuck. Then there was that awful Draw with Tina which was like a day release programme, if she wasn’t doing this she’d be working in a garden centre. ‘Draw a balloon for the head, draw a sausage for the body’. Do me a solid and draw yourself a string of sausages and strangle yourself for me there love.
Seriously, that show is so slow I could feel an anxiety attack coming on. The poor kid who tries to follow it will get distracted by hitting puberty halfway through it, getting a girl knocked up, getting separated and his bastard son would have enough time to finish off the picture for him.
