An Ode to Eden the Enigmatic Elephant

A mystery to one and all

A colourful massive beast

His wonder and his splendour

Spreads from the west to the east

Creator of the rainbow

Colours shot from his trunk

A magical conundrum

More pleasant then a skunk

And where there's rain, and where there's sun

You'll find this jolly beast

Having his lion's share of fun

At his giant moveable feast

And at the end of a long days work

He'll leave a pot of gold

Payment for the Leprechauns

As it has been foretold

The End

This is a piece of art of which I was commissioned to complete for Duvin Design, a Florida based surf lifestyle clothing label. Singlets are currently for sale with this art on it at Duvin Design's shop.

An Ode to the Filthy Flamingo Surf Gang

When a well so deep

Owned by the goons at BP

With oil began to leak

And gush into the sea

The formation of this gang

Did all begin

When this oil so putrid

Had all sunk in

These flamingos were pink

And now they're not

Transformed by stink

And oil so hot

These birds were friendly

Gentle and kind as well

But now they're mean

And they emit a smell

The other birds

Call them stinking greasers

But the flamingos retaliate

And kill all them geese's

They terrorize the coast

And the swamps of Florida

Trashing nests in trees

And strong arming fauna

Thus goes the tale

Of the flamingo surf gang

So filthy and rough

You better believe it mang

The End

See you next time

Lion Hat Leigh

An Ode to Lion Hat Leigh

Lion hat Leigh lives high in a tree

His Beard turned green, a sight to be seen

Because of his hat he's chief of the tribe

He's also very muscly, of this is do not lie

His hat was once a lion of the mountain kind

The taste of human flesh, it really did not mind

One night this lion it did pounce on Leigh

As he lay in his sleep he got bit on the knee

Then Leigh arose and battled this lion

Gave it a head butt and then it lay dying

He picked it up and put it on his head

Then lay back down to sleep in his bed

The end

See you next time

Cornwallis the Cowboy

An Ode Cornwallis the Cowboy

Cornwallis the Cowboy is an interesting chap

His dad is old hank and he likes to clap

He uses his lasso to procure all that he needs

Not only things that go moo but also things like beans

He once lassoed a bus when ill fell his steed

With a minimum of fuss he got from A to B

Cornwallis likes to eat corn every day of the week

And his horse says neigh when it wants to speak

Larry the Lion King

An Ode to Larry the Lion King

Larry the Lion King

Just likes to say rah

He says it so much

He sounds like a galah

Down at the shops

And up on the hill

It's over the top

He sounds like a dill

It's rah this

And rah that

Can I have a burger

And some rah with that

That's what he says

When he goes to lunch

His friend got so angry

He gave him a punch

The End

See you next time

Fernando the Feral Laser Beam Possum Wolf Bat

If you like what you see you can buy a print at My Magical Online Shop

An Ode to Fernando the Feral Laser Beam Possum Wolf Bat

Of what I am not sure is this mammal

But one thing I know he's one freaky animal

He eats a warm meal every single night

Heated up by his mutant laser eyesight

Then he heads out to the mutant discotheque

And dances the night away looking the best

The End

Zombie Reece

Zombie Reece prints available at My Magical Online Shop

An Ode To Zombie Reece

His name is Reece and he had a beard

So damn bushy and so revered

Then one day he made a decision

To cut that beard with a blade of precision

Everyone was sad and asked him why

He simply said "It was hot and in the summer I'll fry"

Mr Magic Aztec Sun Face

Buy a print of this for $20 at my Magical Online Shop.

An Ode to Mr Magic Aztec Sun Face

Oh Mr Magic Sun Face

With a lovely mo and a grin so huge

Where is thy grace

When you ride the luge

You sit in the atmosphere

Collecting the asteroids and dust

From out of space

Your happiness is a must

2012 is your fateful year

Like a deer on the road

Something is shifting

Like a plague of cane toad

Boom boom go the drums

Clash bang the cymbals too

Everyone elongate your thumbs

And dip them in the magic brew

Colour and mystery

Is your cloak in the dark

Sometimes a great moustache

Will only get you so far

The end

See you next time

Herman the Hipster

If you like what you see you can buy a print at My Magical Online Shop.

An Ode to Herman the Hipster

Herman the hipster is as smooth as butter

His yellow beard makes him seem real clever

His hipster goggles give him x-ray vision

And also allow him to read with precision

He reads in the park and sits under a tree

His favourite number is the number three

The end

See you next time.

Mulga the Artist

POSTED BY FRANK NOOCH ⋅ AUGUST 21, 2012

In case you have been living under a rock somewhere, we have made some sweet logo and design changes to the site and our various social media outlets. We now have a new custom designed logo / artwork from an Australian artist named Mulga.

I randomly discovered Mulga’s art when I was searching the term “afro with a beard” on Google images (I’m strange I know, I just REALLY love Afros and beards are magical) . In my search I discovered this amazing drawing called “The Majestic Afro and Beard of Jungle Man” which was a piece that Mulga had created based on a picture of Tunde Adebimpe from TV on the Radio. The intricacy and line work of the drawing were mind blowing and upon visiting his blog I also discovered that he was also obsessed with the mystical power of beards (see our first post) and zombie’s (two of my favorite things) so I began internet stalking him for a couple months.

After all of the stalking and admiring of all his new art he was creating, I finally got in touch with him and asked if he would be willing to create us an amazing piece of bearded art. He accepted and created us “Harry The Hipster”. Now, I know I am bit biased but “Hairy the Hipster has to be one of the greatest pieces of all time, far surpassing “The Mona Lisa” or “The Scream” or any other sub par paintings of that sort. I mean look at that picture, isn’t that insanely awesome!?

So, to tie this all back into music. I would like to mention that Mulga is also a musician and performs in his band Mulgas Room. They make some cool songs. Their latest “O’er the Hills” is a pretty catchy and well written tune.

The band has a bunch of other sweet tunes as well on their BandCamp, go check them out. http://mulgasroom.bandcamp.com/

I also got our Australian friend to send us a list of some of his favorite tunes:

Here are a few other of my favorite pieces of art that Mulga has created.

Mulga also designs t-shirts as well as skateboards and stuff like. So if
you dig any of his stuff get in touch and I’m sure he would be stoked to hook you up, or sell you a print of any pieces that you like.

If you look around on the internet there are a bunch of independent artists out there creating a lot of really great and interesting art work. When you get some time to waste I encourage everyone to hop on the ol’ net and do some searching. That’s how I found Mulga and my life and everyone else’s life that’s associated with BGM has taken a turn for the better. Because music, movies, and art are gifts from the gods. Haha.

Gary the Gorilla

Gary the Gorilla will be sitting in my sketchbook which will be at the Good Jelly sketchbook exhibition on the 3rd of September at Wollongong.

There will be 29 other pages with Gary's friends in the sketchbook. Yew!

An Ode to Gary the Gorilla

Gary is a Gorilla

A big beast of a thing

He lives in Manilla

He loves to sing

He is a superstar in Manilla

The biggest ape in town

He drinks a milkshake of vanilla

He can kill with his frown

Some call him the Gorilla Beiber

For his fame and his songs

The female chimps really love him

Even though he wears thongs

The End

See you next time.

Snake Turban Steve

An Ode to Snake Turban Steve

Snake Turban Steve is a weird and dangerous chap

His headwear of choice is the deadliest form of hat

If you give him any cheek his serpent will pluck out your eye

Then the beast's deadly venom will make you slowly die

But if you carry a flute you know you'll be alright

The snake will be yours and you'll have no fight

Square Beard

© Mulga 2012, Square Beard, Acrylic and Posca on Paper, 30 x 40 cm

An Ode to Square Beard

Walking down the street other beards stop and stare
Dumbfounded at the feat of a beard growing so square

I'll explain that this growth is not sculptured or trimmed
But that it's shaped from the zombies thoughts from within

The things that are pondered inside this beasts brain
Are then reflected in the hair that grows on his face

See you next time

We Know/See Everything

These are 2 zombies that have special powers.

The first zombie dude reckons he know everything and this is signified by the diamond that he holds above his head. The diamond sparkles and is ever so pretty. He wears a pretty cool singlet with nice stripes and a fish on it. Fish is his favorite food to eat after human brain.

The second zombie dude has a star on his forehead with little dashes coming out of it which alludes to the fact that he can see everything. Maybe he can maybe he can't, no-one really knows. He also has a ponytail that is too big for his head. That is because I drew the pony tail first and the body second, not the best way to do things.

See you next time

Stripes of a colour stick together

This is a painting on canvas with acrylic paint and posca.
There are nine stripes under-girding this piece and 9 eye balls looking on in an indifferent gaze.
They are varied in colour.
I submitted this to Illustration Friday's current topic of "Stripes".
See you next time.

Le Crabtraption

This is le humble crab. I drew this on paper with gauche (with some water added) and posca pen.
The crab is a great contraption that God invented.
Crabs are cool because they can run sideways really well and because of this they are really good at soccer because they are excellent jockeyer's. It also helps to have 8 feet (not including the claws). However, sadly they are bad dancers because they have 4 left feet.
Please beware that crabs are decapods and they have teeth on the inside of their stomach, kinda like that pit in the desert that Jabba the Hutt hangs out at. That is one scary scene.

Here's a crab joke.
A man walks into a restaurant and says, "Do you serve crabs here?"
The waitress replies, "We serve everyone. Have a seat."

Here's a poem I composed about crabs in acrostic style. It doesn't ryhme (sorry).

Crabs are cannibals and will eat their best friend if he is a weakling
Running sideways is what crabs are good at (and also chomping stuff with their claws)
A crab can grow it's claw back if it gets lost/chomped by it's other claw/stuck under a rock etc (awesome!)
Blue swimmer crabs are a type of crab and are yummy.
Some say the superman of crabs is the Japanese Spider Crab. These crabs are huge (and scary)!

So crabs are not so boring after all. See you next time.

New Art By Mulga - Nordic Warlord

Some pics of the Nordic Warlord in progress below.

Here is a new artwork i painted with posca pens on cardboard.
He is a viking but i like to think of him as a Nordic warlord.
Viking's have a reputation of being pretty ferocious but this viking dude looks pretty mellow, even Zen like.
He appears to be a pretty tough dude but he has pig tails, it's kind of a contradiction.
He has a wicked mean beard and you can imagine all the sorts of food he gets stuck in there after a massive feast back at the village after coming back from a raid from over the other side of the ocean.
There's probably a boar drumstick hidden in there somewhere.

Mesmerize

Ink on paper.

I drew 19 animals.
Look into their eyes and be mesmerized.
Animals are cool to draw.
Can you name all the animals? You are better at animals than me if you can.
I don't know what some of these animals are called, especially that one with two heads. I think that one is not even a real animal, but it is my favorite animal in this drawing. Which is your favourite?
