I have a feeling that the aspect ratio is gonna be wrong as soon as this finsihes transcoding so I may have to redo the fellla at 1.0 square pixel.

Here's a frog I made (photos taken by the ever-divine Ciarán Duffy). I tried making one for my mate Shane's birthday a few months ago and then I realised I'd never drawn a frog before and well that didn't end well. In any case, I went in to this one a bit less unprepared (not necessarily more prepared though) and I think it worked out okay. He is detacheable and his limbs and head are moveable thanks to the magic of butterfly pins. One of those till 5am this morning finishing it jobs again though. Tired now. Bye.

Rooster hits Berlin

To celebrate our upcoming trip to Berlin here is an experiment I made during preproduction in 2007.

Sketchbook 7

For some reason it makes more sense to me for the months to go anti-clockwise. This always take longer than I expect to bloody scan and resize and level adjust and upload shit, not that it makes a difference. Feb-Nov 2009. Lots of Rubbish.
Off to Berlin next weekend for the Britspotting Film Festival, who were kind enough to put myself and Pádraig Fagan up for a few nights and cover half of our flights. Bangin'.

Virtual Cinema Fail

So out of the six submissions submitted zero got picked up. Ah well.
Here's what we're trying to set in motion so far, with yer man

bluebird

I wrote a little story last night while I was being kept up with the horrors, this is what it looks like.

This is my favourite version of this but it doesn't seem to exist online

photos

I'm normally not very good at photos and tend to just take them for reference than stand alone things of their own but I like these photos I took in Changning the morning of my younger brother's wedding.

me:  Video!!! The future is now!

 Mairtin:  stop jerking around

Ich siehe du nicht

 There was an error with the call. Click here to upload an error log to Google.

 me:  Man your system is jacked

 Mairtin:  fuck your couch

you have a web cam?

 me:  YEAH in my fucking computer man

 Mairtin:  oh it's in the computer

 me:  Don't ask me how they got it in there

 Mairtin:  wizards

 me:  must be

or little little men with pointed shoes and hats

 Mairtin:  nah

you'd never get them from the fridges

 me:  Just a thought

 Mairtin:  fuck your thought

 me:  Ow. Bloody thought police. I hope my thought doesn't conceive of something now

 Mairtin:  fingers crossed

 me:  I'm sorry I think it had a miscarraige, my nose is bleeding

 Mairtin:  ...

Virtual Cinema 09

Sumitted three things during the week, along with resubmitting the three from last year. Here're the images I did for one along with something I was trying to apply to another.

MOUSE (1/3)

Heyo, This is what I was working on last week, well one of three, while doing a couple of other things too. Obviously it's the mouse character from that decadent and well known Pádraig Fagan production "The Rooster the Crocodile and the Night Sky." In other news I broke my first bone, a collar bone, a fortnight ago; though I only found it was broken a few days ago. Doctors, hwua, c'mere but g'wan out of away with - - anyways.I have taken some time off to mend the old collar bone and am strung up like a prize mule in what amounts to a bra that gives me great shoulder blade cleavage. CURSE YOU LUAS!!!! Enjoy yourselves and drive safely all youse out in radio land!

Pressed flowers, leaves, granola box, acrylic ink, cotton wool, a drawing pin for a nose and a picture frame.

Nee Naw Nee Naw Nee Naw Nee Naw

E! True Hollywood Story. ~3AM this morning.
I drew this while Lou was asleep on the ground and I was waiting for SC024+25+27 to render. There is no SC026, do not worry that I missed it.
We are finished! Next stop Galway! Shout out to my peep Laura V on next years rounds!

In case you haven't noticed: Secret blog isn't secret anymore. The haunting needed to end, you see, so I turned it out into the light of day. Annecy was awesome/excruciating. I did some drawing and note-taking that may end up here once I compile em. Until then here's something:

I listen to music too

"The internet is made up of words and enthusiasm."

I'm not certain how many people have been coming here, as of late it has been arbitrarily excluding people and denying access, as if there was much drawing (HAH!) power to begin with. In any case; in the little blog roll on the left you will see several links, some are pictures (such as vernacular photography, which is worth a look) and, getting to the point of this post, some are music blogs.

"I like music. It makes me feel wholly unmanly things."

A recent notable addition to the Blog Roll is:
I am the Crime

Goodnight, I plan to weep into my hands over my Annecy conundrum....

Gus Van Sant

For those of you that have seen this already, I apologise, but I am far too self-satisfied to not germinate it further:

Probably the best adaptation I've never done.

An imagined conversation...

Finally got started on this comic thing. Have been held up by disorderly behaviour the past few days. Will be done within the week.

bertie?

Kate Bush has been stuck in my head the past few weeks. Nevertheless I spent about twenty minutes on this before realising that I was better off eating two apple pies.

I read this comment on a youtube video recently, it cracked me up:

naruto2121x (6 hours ago)

"in 1908 a lady named sally rusa was in the woods looking for a dog until a ghost came and killed her so if ur reading this u will find a bloody body in your closet hanging there haunting you and will kill you and ur family and if u want to stop this just sends this to 6 videos in 30 mins or this will happen good luck (sorry guys i hate this stuff :( it just scares me)"

What a kook.
