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

Purple Dancing Ratus

I painted 5 pictures of colourful rats in various poses in celebration of the opening of my online shop. 

The first 5 people to buy a sticker at the shop will get a colourful rat painting similar to this one for free. 

At the time of writing there is 4 paintings available. 

Stickers are only $2, buy them here

Here's a poem about purple dancing ratus.

Purple Dancing Ratus 

He's a rat

He aint to shy

He killed the cat

But lost his eye

Now he prances

On old cat's grave

All night he dances

As if it's a rave

He waves his hands

In the air

His tail is yellow 

And purple is his hair

He's a vengeful critter

An odd little freak

He eats the catty litter

And his breath does reak

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.

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
