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

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

See you next time

Zombie Tennis Player with Mo, Goatee and Headband

© Mulga 2012, Zombie Tennis Player, Acrylic and Posca on wood, 68 x 102 cm


This is a big orange zombie that I painted. His name is Allen.

He looks like he just finished a marathon tennis match and he is really parched. You can tell because his tongue is lolling about and his gums are showing because they are really dry and his lips are getting caught on them.

That happens to me sometimes. It makes me look like a horse. When I was in school I used to ride my bike and sometimes when I arrived at school in the morning my lips would be stuck to my gums and I would look heaps funny. My friends would point and laugh because I looked so different from normal.
He is also really weary which you can tell from his eyes, his left eye in particular. It has an odd squint about it.

I am not sure if you can tell from this picture but there is a huge amount of detail in his facial hair and headband. That is his favourite headband because his grandmother knitted it for him before she passed away. It has strong sentimental value for him and he cherishes it dearly. It is also really effective at keeping the zombie sweat out of his eyes during a long rally.

This painting is for sale.

See you next time.

Captain Crook the Shady Zombie Captain

This guy is a real shady character, you can see it in his eyes and by the way he smiles.

My talented friend Stuart McKerihan composed a poem about this seed bag.

Captain Crook

 If you’re after a captain
Who looks more sleazy
You’d be hard pressed
This one’s real greasy

From port to port
He’s known all round
As the meanest moustache
To ever run aground

Once the commodore
Of a mighty fleet
Now he hangs out
Where the fishes sleep

The legend goes
That he was steering his vessel
When first mate Billy
Gave him the cutthroat special

His mutinous crew
Began to rejoice
Till they heard a rumble
A sickening voice

Turns out that zombies
Don’t bleed too much
And Captain Crook
Wasn’t dead as such

The terrified crew
Bailed in quick succession
And Crook was left nursing
His leering expression

Not at all pleased
He set about fishing
His mutinous crew
Ending up in the kitchen

To figure what happened
You don’t need much vision
Just spare a thought for the crew
The next time you go fishin’

See you next time.
