Mousetrap Board Riders Surf Club Logo

My good friend Stuart McKerihan suggested I  draw the logo for the legendary Mousetrap Board Riders Club. I finally completed it. Do you like it Stuart?

An Ode to the Mousetrap Boardriders

They're rats on traps

Hairy little beasts
Doing carves and snaps
It looks funny from the beach

Upon rat traps
They surf like pros
A couple of them
Like to surf on the nose

An agent of death
They've used for their means
A death trap transformed
Happy as mung beans

Their club house is located
In the sewer at Cronulla point
A dingy dungeon of a place
But they're home in that joint

When the tide is low
And they hear the sea roar
They scurry from their lair
And tubes they score

They got no rules
It's every rat for himself
It's drop in central
On that rock shelf

The End

See you next time

This is a skate deck that I painted on with paint and then went over it with black posca pen.

He is a happy curled mustache wearing colourful bearded displaying beanie wearing dude.

An Ode to Bright Beard

His beard is bright

His grin is nice

He sleeps at night

His food has spice

Many colours did

His beard become

When in Madagascar

He ate chameleon

It's magical powers

Upon his beard unleashed

Like a bouquet of flowers

Or a whale beached

When he's sad it's blue

And angry it's red

Orange it turns

After butter chicken he's fed

When he's happy

That's what you now see

Many magical colours

Bright beard that's he

The End

See you next time

An Ode To Bird Brain Bill the Zombie


His name is Bill and for a brain
He’s got a bird thus his name

His thoughts are scattered like bird seed
Of worms and kernels his mind does feed

Bill’s original brain was eaten alive
By Beardo the Weirdo doing the zombie jive

Beardo became Bill’s zombie dad
His beard is green and very rad

The early worm gets eaten alive
By the early bird who’s got the drive

One bird in the head is worth two in the tree
Especially when that space is free

Today Bill operates four birdseed shops
His brain is happy the food never stops

That’s the story of Bird Brain Bill
With a bird for brain and looks to kill


See you next time.

This is Knight Beard. He likes doing knighty stuff like jousting and wearing bits of metal on his body while riding a horse in the forest and chopping peoples heads off and eating a roast pig with an apple in it's mouth and going on crusades and being in Dan Brown books.

I drew him on a skate deck for Lodown my local skate shop.

He is for sale for $300 in aforementioned shop or email me.

See you next time.

Magic Beard

© Mulga 2012, Magic Beard!, Ink on Paper then digitally colored

This is a little sketch I did of magic beard.
I am thinking of doing a painting like this and the beard will have different colored geometric shapes a be nice and bright.
Here's a poem about magic beard

An Ode To Magic Beard

His beard is magic
It performs many feats
His skin is yellow
From the sand at the beach

When his beard enters
Any kind of room
It lights up the place
Like a nuclear mushroom

The world becomes brighter
The colours have a zing
The birds of the air
Cannot help but sing

They sing
Magic Beard
Magic Beard
Magic Beard
(you have to sing that last bit with increasing pitch and loudness for it to work, try it with me now
 - magic beard, Magic Beard, MAGIC BEEAARRDD!)

See you next time
