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

Laser Head Lance

An Ode to Laser Head Lance

Laser Head Lance is a slippery old cat
Lives in a world of shadows covered up by his hat

The one day the wind turned from breeze into gale
Blew up his hat like a boat under sail

Those secrets within did explode out his head
And the colour of his hands were a deep shade of red

His secrets revealed that he'd been quite bad
And the fallout was severe and the people were mad

Oh how the mighty have fallen and the proud do stumble
Now Laser Head Lance is humbler than humble

Trevor Trumpet Face

An Ode to Trevor Trumpet Face

He has big elephant ears and a trunk for a nose

He has a trumpet on his face and it looks like a hose

With every sneeze his big trumpet sounds

And the largeness of the volume knows no bounds

It scares away all the birds in the trees

That’s exactly what happens every time he does a sneeze

An Ode to Wavebeard Wally

He's an old sailor chum and he always smells of fishes

His craft and his trade is the ocean and it's dishes

He doesnt like to walk on the solid solid land

His boat is his home on the ocean oh so grand

Every day on the ocean has affected him just so

That the beard on his face has found a peculiar way to grow

These whiskers in question have formed into the shape of waves

And it's not some parlour trick or the way that he shaves

He rocks the full wave beard and it's pretty darn rad

That's the story of Wavebeard Wally an ocean going lad

An Ode to Barry the Magic Bison

This bison is big, this bison is great
He's a really nice guy, he'll be your mate

So this is the way the stories been told
Passed through time and history and generations of old

When young in his life while roaming the plain
He stumbled upon a rainbows tail

This rainbows tail contained a pot of gold
And it's magical powers entered his soul

He transformed from brown to many a colour
And his magical powers increased in number

He could fly like a kite and climb like a goat
Run like the wind and float like a boat

He could buzz like a bee and sing like a bird
And he soon became the king of the herd

Gary the Goatee Man

An Ode to Gary the Goatee Man

Like JohnTtravolta this goats got style

But he's also deadly, like slipping on a tile

Gary is a mutant, half goat half man 

An unholy abomination, something like spam

He works security at a mutant night spot

Zapping unruly patrons with lasers so hot

He's a grumpy old goat, there aint no changing that

And don't ever try to make him wear a hat

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

Captain Laramie Lion

I was commissioned to draw this for Duvin Design, a Florida based surf clothing company.

An Ode to Captain Laramie Lion

Captain Laramie the Lion

Never felt at peace

On the plains of Africa

As much as the seas

The odd one out

He favoured the fish

Over the buffalo

As his favourite dish

His journey began

The day he was caught

By illegal poachers

From Somewhere up north

Locked in a cage

And put upon a ship

Laramie picked the lock

And gave them the slip

He ate every man

Upon that boat

And became the captain

And wore the captain's coat

When he reached a port

He assemble a crew

A motley bunch

Drunk from too much brew

From that day forward

Laramie road the waves with ease

No longer king of the jungle

He was now king of the seas

An Ode to Manfred the Magical Lion King

Manfred the Magical is a delight to behold
Of colours fantastical and a crown of gold

He reigns with authority and commands with ease
When he roars, out of his mouth fly bees

He likes to hold court on the rock of power
All the animals come and give him a flower

With each flower he eats, his colours grow brighter
And his hold on the crown becomes that much tighter

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

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"

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

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

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

Diamond Head Knows All The Answers

© Mulga 2012, Diamond Head Knows All The Answers, Acrylic on Canvas,34 x 45 cm

This is Diamond Head and he knows all the answers.
He is kind of like the Key Master out of The Matrix although I never knew what Mr Key Master exactly did, he had a bunch of keys and they opened all kind of doors if I recall correctly. That is what Diamond Head is like except instead of doors he can open answers to any questions you may have.

This original "Diamond Head Knows All The Answers" painting is for sale for $150. Email me if you want it.

It would really brighten up your lounge room or dining room or bedroom or bathroom or kids room or games room or sitting room or rumpus room etc.

Here is a picture of me and the painting so you can see it in a real life setting.

As an added feature this painting has diamond shapes on the sides as shown in the picture below. This is a truly special feature and is worth the price of admission alone.
