Soon I'll have enough to start rolling on the sidebar reshuffle, but not quite there yet. I wasn't in town today, but I did get these cool RSS icons from Chuck -
I've been a bit lax on the social media icons project, but I have been working 60 hour weeks. I'll have to scan mine tomorrow. Meanwhile, here's a cool Google+ icon from Brian -
I wish I had mentioned this last week - the Ennis Comic Mart was on yesterday. Mark it down for next year, you guys! I'll try and find someone to give us some feedback on how it went. Thanks to Maura for posting it on our Facebook page in advance, at least. :)
And one of the reasons I wish I mentioned it was that Abandoned Comics are looking for two artists for their next comic project and were doing portfolio viewings at the Mart. You can still check out the link on how to email Martin and Mike to apply to the project.
Helen pointed us towards how to submit to Support Irish Art, a new listing webpage for emerging Irish Artists. You can follow through and get a listing if you like. :) Also, "like" Helen's page on Facebook.
Illustrators Ireland post a round-up of recent works by members on their blog every so often - very cool, and one just went up recently.
The BBC and the pcf over in England are running a website called "Your Paintings" where lesser known and hidden works of Art in smaller collections, storage etc are getting some exposure. Worth browsing the archive!
I love these candy-coloured illustrations over at ZuttoWorld -
That's another fortnight of what we've been interested in! Check back next Monday for Art & updates from Pub Scrawl #83 - Pub Scrawl DEFINITELY contains nuts!
and the Monday after for more updates and things of interest!
Hey guys, just jumping in with a small update - I'm going to reshuffle the look of the blog over the next while - nothing major, just want to tidy the way we run our sidebar. :) I've asked some 'Scrawlers to give me some social media icons (Facebook, Blogger, Google+ and RSS) to make a rotating set of imagery - it should be pretty sweet. I'll unveil the icons as they come in.
First up, Patrick raised the game with his Zombie Facebook button -
- and here's how it'll look in the sidebar -
- it seems a shame to shrink it. :) I'm going to scan my RSS button tomorrow, and we should see more 'Scrawl Icons (Scrawlicons?) roll in soon!
PS - Anyone out there in the wide world who wants to make us a cool FB/Blogger/G+/RSS icon and send it in to be part of our set, feel free! Make it square, then email it to donalfall -at- gmail.com
A quiet night in the Pub tonight, even though I advertised Pub Scrawl as the perfect antidote to St. Patrick's Day!! What better way to recover than go back to the pub, but this time for Art? Ah well, a cure not taken up by everyone but by some brave souls. :)
Super quick notice - our own Katie Creaven is in the Galway Musical Society production of Jekyll & Hyde that runs for the next 5 days or so in the Black Box Theatre. You can find out more & get your tickets on Facebook, through the Town Hall Theatre, etc etc. It's going to be a hell of a show, you should go check it out.
Here's the Art -
The brave souls! -
I was drawing a shaman-girl of some kind "getting stoned" was the pun of the night....
Chuck was continuing his serial killer sketchbook motif in a whole new sketchbook!
Shahzad came to join us again. Lovely pastel works -
Katie swung by after rehearsals (see above) and tried to make sense of Patrick's radio man sketchbook...
Make sense of it, if you can!
Yolande was keeping the craft corner alive -
And Anita actually went with the theme in the name of the night and drew the Famous Five! Weirdo. :)
Jay Penn finished up his job for the Adventures Dark & Deep Players Manual - check it out!
Our friends in 091 labs had their 3rd birthday party on Saturday the 2nd! Hurrah for them. :) Katie is still looking for a new logo, so if you want to be considered, email any ideas you have to pro -at- 091labs.com (that's also the email to pop a notice to if you want to get involved with drawing on the walls - drop Katie a line to see when the labs will be open, then go in and add to the wall-y canvas!).
Speaking of logos and 091 labs, they hosted the Galway Game Jam last Saturday the 9th of March - Alanna was talking beforehand about the need for a logo, if anyone was interested. I'm sure they'll be running it again, so let them know if you have any ideas for a design!
A great night out in our favourite haunt, McSwiggans and a lot of great Art produced, chats had, laughs laughed and etc. Sadly, I forgot my good camera, so you'll have to live with my cellphone pictures. A lot of disservice has been done to the guys drawings with these pics, but bear with my failings and enjoy!
(Also, I do love blogger, but the new image upload is all over the place. I might have to re-rotate a bunch of these and upload them again tomorrow)
And Alanna was drawing this delightfully evil creature. :)
That's your update for another Pub Scrawl! Keep your eyes peeled next Monday for our usual update of links & goodness, and join us in two weeks time for Galway Pub Scrawl #82 - Five go mad in McSwiggans!
