Birthday Bonanza


Well, two years ago to this day, Mooney posted the first daily blog piece for our blog. It literally started off as just an excuse for us to get each other drawing, I dont think any of us expected it to last two years and produce over 700 art posts and two sketchbooks

I came up with the idea a few weeks back that it might be a nice idea for the birthday to showcase some of that talent thats around the country

First up is Paul Reck
You can check out his work at odingraphics.deviantart.com



Heres CIT Multimedia student (my old college course) Chris O'Halloran

Wow, lot of honest-to-goodness really good stuff here!
We've gotta set up some sort of Junior-Micks stable, the next wave of Irish comicbook pros. I'm thinking code-rings and lapel pins, and those caps with propellers on top...
