Sneak Peek!

Hey everybody... at tomorrow's Ultimate Toy and Hobby Fair in Victoria B.C. I'll debut the first of my new Art Cards, small baseball card-sized original paintings available to take home for an affordable price. I had a lot of of fun, and learned a lot from doing these over the last couple days. It's great to get the gouache paints out again and am looking forward to working on a few more tomorrow at the show.

I'll also be showing and selling my brand-new oversized prints on Sunday, something I've had in the works for a year now. The first batch are themed versions of some existing smaller prints that I've always wanted to do larger. In fact, they work much better at 13" x 19" (or thereabouts) than they do at 8" x 10". By popular demand I'll have for sale oversized copies of my "45 Adaptor" photographic print that has made the rounds of the internet over the last few years.  All these prints are on museum quality, acid-free heavy paper, or rag and the quality is really amazing! I can't wait to concentrate more on new prints as soon as possible.

For everyone who can't make this awesome show (sort of a cross between a collectable toy show and a comic-con) look for these these and more at the newly revamped GlenMullaly.com online store to be unveiled later this week. See you in person or online!

Neato Ghouly Contest!

My pal, the always awesome and educational Mayor of Neato Coolville Todd Franklin, has a great new Halloween-inspired contest over at his very popular blog. The prizes include include a copy of Mad Monster Party on Blue-Ray, prints from your's truly, and signed photos from Vlad the Impaler!

Check it out!

Going Solo!

The happy little fellow pictured above, with a striking resemblance to a certain space pirate from the moving pictures, is not trying out out his new Halloween costume (actually, he might be... I didn't ask him!). He is, in fact, the GlenMullaly.com mascot Pablo the Pill Bug, as he appears in a sneak peak of a  charity fundraising print collaboration between myself and my pals comic book Hall-of-Famer Ken Steacy, and Perogy Cat man Gareth Gaudin.

The print will be for sale (all funds going to charity) at the upcoming Victoria's Ultimate Hobby and Toy Fair on Oct 14th. If you haven't attended before you should check out this ever-growing cross between a comic con and a toy show. Amazing new and collectable toys, comic, dolls, records, models, video games, etc... combined with costumes, fantasy and sc-fi oriented vendors, clubs and displays, and comic book artists, writers and others (like me) as special guests.

If you haven't caught on by now, Pablo is dressed as Han Solo in the Star Wars-inspired print due to another guest at the upcoming show: voice artist, writer and producer Jim Henshaw (voice of Wicket the Ewok from the animated series, among many other characters - including some Care Bears for those 80s kids out there).

I'll also be debuting my brand new large size prints (13" x 19", more on that soon) and if all goes well my new Artist Sketch Cards - original artwork in affordable bite-sized bits!

See you there!

Don't Mess with Artemis!

A brand-spankin' new print from the apparently successful "Greek Goddesses" series by lil' ol me is now available at the GlenMulaly.com Etsy shop. Starting off as another of the series of 12 gods I did for a children's magazine spread a few years ago this went though an almost complete transformation to become my latest print.

Blast from the Past!

Diggin' through the vaults at GlenMullaly.com has unearthed these quick and dirty design roughs for a 1970's tribute band t-shirt I did a while back. I enjoyed being limited by the white ink on black shirt, and had fun groovin' on the early 70s feel. My favorites are the car designs, but they didn't reflect the band as well as some of the others.

The eventual band choice was the solid white lettering only design  (#6 counting top to bottom left to right), which I then took to a final tight pencil, and then hand inked before reversing the image for the final camera-ready (do they still call it that?) art. But the band changed their name / format before the shirt ever got printed (I think).

Keep on Truckin'!

Oh Man!

It's been an incredibly gruelling last couple months at GlenMullaly.com World Headquarters. A very labour-intensive job has just wrapped up (I think - revisions are always a possibility) and it was actually a treat to get outside today and trim the shrubs in the yard.

Despite the work-load I was able to fit in a couple jobs in during approval wait-times, and pictured above is one of them there aforemetioned projects. Ardent Concepts Inc is a great company from the East Coast who specializes in "interconnect technology solutions", serving a lot of high tech industry types.

They had the great idea to advertise their company via trade publications, both print and online, in the form of a superhero newspaper comic strip. I've had a lot of fun working with them on the first two monthly spots, and look forward to the upcoming instalments. Pictured above is episode #2, "Ardent Ohm Man Saves the Day!" It's been a hoot reaching back to my fan-boy past to do comic style work again,  although my kid's book work definitely shows though as well.

The version above has some aged paper effect included, as well as a signature, which didn't make the final cut for the ads. But I'm happy to say the half-tone style colouring passed muster and made it to print. Enjoy!

Yikes!

The latest issue of teen-embarrassing-story magazine Yikes is on the stand right now. As is the norm  recently I scribbled out a trio of illustrative type- illustrations for this issue - here are couple of them...
