We all wish we did comics as good as Natalie Hall - She Wolf.

There's some wonderful designs and Art over on Yes for Love.

Myself and Gerard are being tempted by the idea of 3D printing models for gaming purposes.

The Secret Sunday Scrawl 003

We had a very small gathering for the most recent Secret Sunday Scrawl - Jay Penn, King of Sunday Scrawling, is away, so attendance was lower when people realised he wasn't coming (that or because the weather was horrible, you decide!).

Anderson -


Donal (me) -


And our newest, smallest, youngest honorary Scrawler, Luke came to visit. He didn't do any Art though, what a diva! ;)


You can find us in next week in McSwiggans as usual for our next Galway Pub Scrawl #130 - Timefinger II: The Pokening.

Admin Monday/Tuesday 27 JAN 2015 - Donal gets the finger out for the first time in ages.

GUYS! I've been swamped with stuff recently, so this is where we are. What a load of stuff to catch up on:

Updates:

Jay has started a new Secret Sunday Scrawl in the Secret Garden Cafe on (or near? It might still be Williamsgate street or whatever) Sea Road, Galway. You can find us having the next one on the 8th of February at 14:00 hours.



We're almost done with assembling a "Galway Pub Scrawlbook" - it's going to be a collection of sketches and works from our Scrawlers. If you are a regular or even part-time member, hit up the event and get in touch to have your Art featured in the book. But you better move quick! It's almost time to go to press.

And speaking of Jay, you should check out his podcast with Gordon MacKay - still going strong.

Links:

Every Day Original is a website where you can buy beautiful, small original Art from amazing Artists at a reasonable price.

Muddy Colors has featured the displays from the Temple of Art. There is going to be a book and a documentary!

Ruth was pestering Brett Bean for advice. He writes back. :)

Here's some awesome Steampunk amimals made from old bits and pieces by a Russian Artist, Igor Verniy.

DeviantArt changed its layout, with an awesome Daniela Uhlig background on the landing page.

Justin "Coro" Kaufman updated his site - check it out.

You should watch this video about Origami Artists, it spreads out to cover Art more generally -


James Newell pointed in the direction of this Irish animation - Combat Action Team.

Patrick linked to free painting/sketching program Krita.

Ruth linked to this awesome gallery of Art by Chiara Bautista. If you like that, you should also check out Natalie Hall and Soey Milk.

Michael Craughwell has been featured in his own show on Discovery. It's all over the Internet, so you can find details here, there and wherever.
