Hey! Another round of links & updates from the Galway Pub Scrawl crew. Make sure to check down the page for some cool pics from the Galway Pub Ash Scrawl #147 & the Secret Sunday Scrawl #17

A huge auction of Frazetta works is taking place at the end of the year - you can follow a link to get the PDF of the catalog on Doc Dave's blog - great images!

Everyone loves Hieronymus Bosch.

The illusion of life from cento lodigiani on Vimeo.

Urealampien Essi broke the Internet with his take on the Simpsons.

I don't know if I've ever mentioned Lines and Colours here before, but it's a great resource to find out about great Art, like this feature on Saturnino Herran.

Self-Portrait Day was November the 1st - I forgot to pimp it on the blog, but check out the Facebook group for great Art.

Is Modern Art rubbish? These cleaners thought so.

I've confessed to thinking a lot about colour, even if I barely use it myself. Well, here's more thoughts that I found fascinating.

Twitch were streaming non-stop Bob Ross at the weekend. Hopefully they'll do it again. We can all do with some happy trees in our lives.

Where does Patrick find these things? On Gizmodo



BOOM!

Galway Pub Ash Scrawl #147 - That Witching Time of Year

I was busy last Monday at the time of the Pub Scrawl, but luckily I had a good pinch-hitter on hand to document the goings on in the form of Ash. So, minor name change for the day:



Here's the Art:

























Thanks to Ash for filling in! (Seen here with a bemused? terrified?) Michelle -



Hopefully there isn't a miss-three-and-you're-out rule on documenting Pub Scrawls, as that's the third one I've ever missed! I've heard the guy who makes the rules at Pub Scrawl is a real stickler...

More talk from the Galway Pub Scrawl!

Updates:

Hey! Stuck for inspiration for your sketching? Pub Scrawler Nico has made an app for that.



Download Sketchblock for Android and try out its noun/verb/adjective free-associating inspirational output, then maybe give him a bit of feedback. I've been messing with it for the last week or two, it's pretty cool.

And Inktober is still in full swing! There's a few Pub Scrawlers & adjacent people working away at it, you can find our Inktobers here and there:

Barbara

Donal

Michael

Great Art Challenges bring opportunities to look at great Art - like The Month of Fear.

Some days, Art making is like this:

This joke was everywhere, but it's a good one, so it was worth telling again (thanks Patrick):



If you need references for hairstyles, you can start (and finish) at the UK Hairdressers Site.

Mary posted this illustrated life advice from Bill Watterson.

And Iggy linked to this documentary on Brent Pope's Outsider Art Exhibition, the largest Irish exhibition of Outsider Art to date.

These last few weeks, I have been really digging the Art of Rafael Sarmento and Ragnar!

Admin It's always Monday somewhere.... right? 06 OCT 2015

Another round of links & updates from your friendly Galway Pub Scrawl!

Updates:

We kind of bombed out of World Art Drop Day and had trouble organising a 24 hour comics day this year (and we missed Culture Night... you turn your brain off for a month and this is what happens), so apologies for a lack of good Scrawlers stuff this year, next year will be back in full effect! But....

We did celebrate 6 YEARS OF PUB SCRAWLING! Thanks everyone for making this the endeavour that it is. So our slightly-older-sister group, Drink & Draw Cork, also celebrated 6 years. 6 years... it feels like yesterday we were sharpening our pencils in the pub for the first time....

And there's a new group in the family, the brand new Drink and Draw Waterford!

Inktober is upon us again! There's a few Pub Scrawlers & adjacent people working away at it, you can find our Inktobers here and there:

Barbara

Donal

Michael

Meanwhile, Jay made things : The Willing Fool

And there's a little time left to check out Philip Barrett's Visual Storytelling Course in the Galway Arts Centre.

Links:

There's been some great Pub Scrawl-facing kickstarters recently. The Art of Loish was funded within about 20 seconds, but I'm sure there'll be ways to buy the book later. Or you can just look at my copy. With your eyes. There's still time to get a copy of the Steve Lichman book by Dave Rapoza, but that one was also insanely popular, so I'm sure again that you'll find copies in shops or online.

Michelle linked to these fantastic Illustrated Elements of the Periodic Table.

I had a post-drawing challenge good-link-hunt fail, but I did find (or re-find) the Ballpointer - all Art from Ballpoint pens, all the time.

PS Breakdown | Hoth [Before & After]

[Music download link below] The process took about 12 hours, not including some fun research and council I received from my friends and extraordiNerds. It was most amusing :) If it glitches, here's the link to my blog that also has the Before and After photo: http://www.tkmusgrave.com/2015/08/ps-breakdown-hoth-before-after.html Enjoy.Music: Star Wars - The Force Theme (Binary Sunset) - DJ AG Deep House Remix —https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JeMgZPrIj3sHe was kind enough to let me use his beats for this; if you'd like to download it for yourself, find it on his Soundcloud here: https://soundcloud.com/djag-4

Do you want Colour Palettes? Yeah you do.

Mary recommends a Daily Dose of sketching.

Why should you stay Sketchy? Because Toth did.
