Fish Beard Phil

This is my latest post for CreatureMag

An Ode to Fish Beard Phil

With a beard so wet and blue as this

It's no surprise it's home to fish

Bass and marlin and tuna too

Even a few whales big and blue

When Phil needs a feed he casts a net

Into his beard and his need is met

It's fish for breakfast, lunch and tea

That's fine with Phil the sea zombie

See you next time

Mr T Bird Beard the Zombie

I painted this dude for my fortnightly feature in CreatureMag called Mulga's Zombie Zoo in which I post a new zombie painting every 2 weeks.


An Ode To Mr T Bird Beard

He’s a tough looking zombie with a look that strikes fear
But under the surface he’s a sweet old dear

The birds really love him and nest in his beard
They know in their hearts there’s not a thing to be feared

If everyone had a beard that was this fully grown
Every little bird would always have a home

See you next time.

Zombie Tennis Player with Mo, Goatee and Headband

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.
