Bear Hat Bob

An Ode to Bear Hat Bob

Bear Hat Bob is an outdoors guy
At home in the mountains and under the sky

He walks around with his sunglasses pink
Even at night it seems odd you might think

Bart the Bear was his very best friend
The wilderness they journeyed from end to end

One day in the spring they came across a river
The water was cold it made them shiver

They attempted to cross on a fallen tree
But Bart fell into that freezing stream

He couldn’t swim so he drowned to death
He had breathed his last, his very last breath

Bob was so sad and he cried for week
He cried in the day and he cried in his sleep

To remember his friend, the Bear called Bart
Bob wore him as a hat and now they’re never apart

An Ode to Dracula Darrell

Dracula Darrell comes from a family

Of bloodsucking monsters ever so scary

He has the skill of shooting beams of energy

Outta his hands and into his enemy

These radiactive lasers, so mutant and deadly

Will vaporize anybody who appears unfriendly

A zap zap here and a zap zap there

My laser beams are gunna give you a scare

That's what he sings when he's zapping away

And his smile so deranged stays around all day

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

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

See you next time.

Ned Kelly Was a Hipster

Prints available at my magical online shop.

Did you know Ned Kelly was a hipster?

This drawing is based on a photo of him the day before his execution and I was struck by how fashionable he would look today. He would fit right in with the hipster vibe.

An Ode to Ned Kelly the Hipster Bushranger

A hipster was Ned Kelly

A notorious bushy ranger too

His favorite food was jelly

He rocked a hipster do

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

Skateboard Art - Bright Bearded Beanie Man with Curly Mo

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

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!)

They've Drunk Our Blood Now It's Time To Die!

 © Mulga 2012, They've Drunk Our Blood, Ink on Paper,9 x 14 cm

© Mulga 2012, Time To Die, Ink on Paper,9 x 14 cm

These are 2 artworks I completed in my notebook.

They are freaky characters.

Here's a poem I wrote about them and as usual it doesn't make a whole lot of sense. 

If any one wants to write their own poem I can put it up on the blog.

An ode to these two freaks

They've drunk our blood

We have no food

Our bellies do grumble

That is quite rude

We will arise

With pitch forks raised

Our rage intense

And justified

We'll gut those pigs

Who caused this mess

Dues will be paid

Of this we stress

Now it's time to die

There's no place to run

Only charred bones will remain

When we're done

Justice will be served

Just like a cake

At the birthday party

But it'll be your wake

The End

Longbeard

© Mulga 2012, Longbeard, Ink on Paper, 32 x 80 cm

In order to grow a beard as awesome as this one you need to learn the ancient art of beard hypnotisation.

Once you master this ancient art you too can yield great results in the area of beard construction.

Here is a poem I wrote to commemorate the awesomeness of this beard.

The Majestic Afro and Beard of Jungle Man

© Mulga 2012, Jungle Man, Ink on Paper, 30 cm x 40 cm


This drawing is based on a photo of TV on the Radio singer Tunde Adebimpe that I found on the interweb. Some people thought it was a drawing of The Roots drummer, Ahmir "Questlove" Thompson.
I'll tell you right now, those afro curls took a long time to draw!
Lucky I had the intention to finish this drawing or I would never have completed it.
It consumed my time like a killer whale consumes penguins.

The One Armed Sushi Chef otherwise known as the Beard Man Wearing Headband with Anchor on it

The One Armed Sushi Chef

He has a beard
And a headband too
His anchor is geared
For wowing you

He's a sushi chef
Of the highest order
His name is Jeff
He abhors disorder

He's the fastest slicer
In the land
He doesn't use a ricer
He has one hand

He's an Iron Chef
On that SBS cooking show
He killed the ref
With one blow

The decision was wrong
Or so he thought
And because he didn't win
He killed the lot

You'll find him now
In his little sushi shop
Forget to pay the bill
And you'll get the chop

See you next time

Beardo the Weirdo

Here is Beardo the Weirdo. 

He is a zombie. 

My good friend Stuart wrote a poem to accompany the picture. 

We hope you enjoy.

Mutant Cowboy Zombie

The Tale of the Mutant Cowboy Zombie


After the heist on the bank

They shot old hank

Left him to die and stole his take

Only he didn't die

He turned into a pie

The sun baked him good

Like only the sun could

His flavor was chicken and curry

But he was in no hurry

Got bit by some a freaky  wolves

Turned into a mutant with big hoofs

He galloped around

Then a flood came and he nearly drowned

But he gained the power of ten thousand suns

And set off to track down those bums

Those double crossing cowards

Weazly pickers of flowers

He found them in the saloon of a desert town

Drunk as skunks and acting the clown

They had looks of fear

When they saw his mutant lear

And his disfigurement ever so severe

His chicken curry skin glistened in the light 

As he reached for his shooter with his hand on the right

His aim was perfect and shot them all three

With but one bullet that buzzed like a bee

After that he took a drink

And sat down for little think

What kind of life is this for a mutant freak

With a chicken curry face and hooves for feet

So he joined the circus and he was a success

The moral of the story is to be your freakiest best

Tough guy bearded man wearing beanie folding his arms

This is an example of the art which will be in my upcoming art show Longbeard's Anonymous Monkey Factory.
This is an example of a person who does not do little twirls like a ballerina.

Here is a poem.

He sports a mean beard
And a look to be feared
A beanie sits a top his head
Don't cross this man or he'll make you dead
With arms crossed and gaze intent
He aint no friendly gent
His body language tells me this
So don't be expecting no sloppy kiss

El Capitan rides the waves again

This is a drawing I completed for El Capitan surfing boards. They will prepare for you the most magical surfing board you can imagine.

This is a poem I completed just because...

El Capitan
He is an old sea dog and he surfs a log
He smokes a pipe and doesn't own a dog
On the high seas of life he stays outta strife
Except when he hunts for treasure and fights with a knife
A life long sailor like this here man
Prefers the raging ocean waters over any dry land
He's been here and there and seen this and that
He'll stare you down while he wears his hat
He's the El Capitano and he sings soprano
He likes the rum and he's got bravado

The end

See you next time - Mulga

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.
