An Ode to Terry the Tiger

Terry the Tiger was terrrific indeed
Of this single fact all the animals agreed

He ruled the jungle like a stripey king
Sometimes he would lounge, sometimes he would sing

Everywhere he went he wore his dazzling coat
And when he crossed the river he travelled by boat

He made his castle high in the trees
And he ate of the honey produced by bees

He was the finest specimen in all the land
And he fronted the best jungle rock band

They played every Saturday at the Jungle Pub
And chilled out after in the jungle hot tub

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

And Ode to Jolly Joel

Tropical island's in the sun
That's where Jolly Joel has some fun

Where palm trees rustle in the breeze
And that's where there is no killer bees

Bees of the killer kind just aren't cool
And if you encounter them while sitting by the pool

You should jump in the water and splash around
Maybe those bees won't sting you and you won't be found

I once saw this movie about a girl
Macaulay Culkin was stung and he began to swell

Those stinking bees got him really bad
Then he died and it was fully sad

So what you need to learn after you've had a little cry
Is to stay away from killer bees otherwise you might die

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

The End

See you next time

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"

The End

See you next time

Skateboard Art - Bright Bearded Beanie Man with Curly Mo

© Mulga 2012, Skateboard Art - Bearded Beanie Man with Curly Mo, Acrylic and Posca on skateboard

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

The End

See you next time

Peace is in our Hands

This is my hand after it was contaminated by radioactive toxic sludge.
Nah just joking, but seriously it was actually my hand when I became exceedingly angry in my car because the other drivers drove in front of me really slow and I turned into the Incredible Hulk.
Nah just joking again, it was actually my hand when I formed the peace sign and then drew and painted it in colours that my hand normally does not appear in. That's the honest truth.
The peace sign is silent but effective and I sometimes form and display it when I see someone I know and I want to do something different than the standard 4 fingered plus 1 thumbed wave.
You should try it sometime, it could be your new thaang!!
See you next time.

Sun Face on My Surfboard

I drew a sun face on my surfboard with a black posca.
He appears to be whistling or saying 'oooh'.
Some facts about the sun:
The sun is now a middle-aged star, meaning it is at about the middle of its life.
The sun is 109 times wider then the earth and 333,000 times heavier.
The sun rotates every 25-36 days.
The sun is the ultimate source of fuel.
We would be so dead without the sun.
See you next time

p.s. I'm selling this surfboard. It's in pretty good condition. The dimensions are 6'5 x 19 1/4 x 2 1/2.
It comes with future fins and a tailpad and the artwork is included. Drop me a line if your interested.

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.
