Crazy Hobo

Theme for April

I'm next in the ol alphabet after Niall, so April's theme will be 'Crazy Hobo', inspired by...well you got it...a crazy hobo who hangs out outside Spar!

Plants Taking Over

A bit late and a bit not finished, ah well.
The gist of it comes across.

Plants Take Over

Plants Take Over

Woohoo got the post done and its on time!

I didn't get it finished how I had planned! Oh well!!

Plants Take Over

So I've been messing around with creating flash games this month so I hooked the two subjects up. Its limited and from tutorials by http://www.kongregate.com/ But was a fun learning curve.

Exploding Graphics and UI are from Kongregate as well, I was just running out of editing time.

Plants Take Over

stuck this month, managed to this half finished, I will finish it and post up the final draft over the next week or two

Plants are dangerous

I only realised today that it was the end of the month so this is my attempt at the monthly post. Its not at all what I had been thinking of doing but as soon as I started drawing, Mario came to mind and I just went with it :)

Plants Take Over

I knew that if I attempted to put up a drawing or painting I'd never finish it. I don't have a great track record when it comes to completing the hundreds of creative projects I start. So I was told I could do a poem instead. Here goes.....

Plants Take Over


A vine was spreading
across the land,
Growing rapidly
out of hand.

Unfamiliar,
its genus unknown.
No knowledge about
from whence it had grown.

When first it appeared,
its flowers looked pretty -
Mother Nature's brightening
of Man's dingy city.

But soon there was reason
to raise the alarm,
This strange new plant
was causing some harm.

Its speed of growth
meant destruction was quick -
Streets and buildings covered
under greenery so thick.

Its tendrils expanded,
electricity went down
as the power lines choked,
bringing chaos to town.

But further it crept,
through windows and doors,
While its beautiful flowers
released poisonous spores.

Soon the screams went quiet
and the panic died down,
As the plant quashed humanity
and conquered the town.

Hilary Lawler - When Plants Attack

No equipment, not even a pencil and paper, in the middle of moving...but...despite using 'paint' on a notebook I think I've managed to create a masterpiece, and will only sell to the highest bidder only of course!!

March Theme

Hi All,

I'm going to be late with my February post but just to get the ball rolling I thought it would be a cool theme to do "Plants taking over!".

Some Self Portraits

I used mixed media (for the first time in absolutely ages) and did as many as I could, but didnt make the 28. I did some just looking in the mirror and others (after I got bored holding the mirror) by looking at great artists work and being inspired!

nosce te ipsum_THE SELF PORTRAITS OF A DELUDED GAMER

Lots of lovely posts by everyone and then I go post this morbid thing above - sorry gang! Feb was a month where the self portrait was simply the 3 emotions above and then repeat for 28 days - Hilbo

Twenty Eight Thumb-Print Portraits, one for every day in February.

Nosce Te Ipsum

Okay, this months one was really hard, lots of work in 28 pieces on top of work etc. im sure we all found it hard soooooo mine is basically a study rather than producing a load of finished portraits.  did my best to make em look as interesting as possible.

Nosce Te Ipsum

How well do you know yourself, collective thinkers?  Here is my challenge to you - every day for the rest of the month, do one quick self portrait in any medium you like.  At the end of the month pick your favourite and post it....and a compilation image of thumbnails of the other 27, so we we know you didn't cheat.

Oh quit grumbling, February's a short month.

Hmm, should have made the title "28 faces later".  Dang.
