Admin Monday (2 days late!) - End of Year wrap-up 2013

That's it for Galway Pub Scrawl until 2014! Come join us at McSwiggans on the 6th of January for our next Pub Scrawl. There's going to be a lot more going on next year, so keep an eye on the site here or on our Facebook page for more details.

Updates:

Myself and Caspar went outdoors drawing again, this time looking at Menlo Castle. We're going to do more of this next year, so keep an eye on this map.



Google are building a Gallery software for Artists and Institutions to showcase their work with embedding tools for websites, everything. It looks really awesome and you can apply for it here.

If you're at all familiar with clients, especially from a design point of view, you really have to check out sharpsuits.net for some very funny expressions of the frustrations of the client/designer life.

A guy in Texas is reverse-engineering a Camera Obscura to see if it's possible that Vermeer did work that way.

This poster is awesome - would you work on a project for the better part of a decade?

Patrick shared this awesome Tumblr, Love the Kok so I immediately shared this Tumblr, by Bengal (trying to one-up each other).

Mary seemed to want to shock us - linking to articles about Vaginal Knitting

The Illustrator Sheilah Beckett passed away at the age of 100, still using her tablet and painting away on Photoshop. An inspiration to us all.

DR SKETCHY'S DUBLIN: in the Nutcracker from mcgarry on Vimeo.

You have to check out Jeff Victor's "Sharkham Asylum" project.

The British Library put up 1,000,000 images into the public domain for free use by anyone who wants to mess with them!

And Ger pointed us towards this guy, who draws himself and his cat in the style of different cartoonists.

You can grab Photoshop CS2 for free at the moment, so swing on over to Adobe.

Thanks everyone for a great 2013! Remember to join us January for the next Pub Scrawl #102 - Stop making fun of my little blue Smurf!

Alan pointed us towards this awesome window drawing inspired by Metropolis by the street artist Strook.

Bobby Chiu is restarting his Chiustream live streaming Q&A/classes/painting demos. I think all you have to do is register on the Schoolism mailing list to get access to it?

Cynthia Sheppard is doing the coolest commissions - extending the art on Magic Cards with her images all the way out to the edge!

Miy mind was blown by this 3D model of Walter White from Breaking Bad over on zbrushcentral.
