    by Baggly

    Baggly, true to form, has used his incredible experience in Ridiculism to produce this magnificent ode to yesteryear. Aspie in all her glory, mounting a chair, while reading, swinging her golden pocketwatch. All the while, watched by her imaginary minion friend.

    Baggly

    by Deja Boo


    An understated palette by Deja Boo, our resident Geographical Artist. She's used her uncanny ability to mix the reality of true to life locations with the fantasy elements of her crazy mind. Here we see a skipping Baggly, in his customary tube top, wielding a machine gun, in front of the Rock of Cashel.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,583 ✭✭✭✭Trigger


    Ah jaysus guys! These are brilliant! That Rock of Cashel is amazing :pac:

    deconduo

    deconduo_two_pret.jpg


    by Pretzill


    A veteran of Indigenous art, Pretzill has incorporated well established Australian tropes into her work. The mythological 2 headed deconduo dances the local rain dance with a kangaroo, all the while playing catch the boomerang, siamese head in a historically accurate gimp mask, as a gigantic ghostly werewolf watches on in amazement.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,428 ✭✭✭✭Electric Nitwit


    I have no idea what I'm looking at, but they're astounding!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,883 ✭✭✭tusk


    Please do take advantage of the Wine & Canapés as our waiters mingle throughout the tour

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,896 ✭✭✭✭Spook_ie


    Having seen the first entries, I'd like to withdraw my painting as it's crap compared to this talent so far.

    I can see it on mobile/touch site but can't see it on desktop/web.
    The image link seems quite long, possibly something to do with that?

    by Ectoplasm


    Ecto's individualistic style coming out here with her flat cutout colours evoking a sense of wonder, as Deja Boo aims her RPG at high-fiving bunnies chilling outside the Playboy Mansion.

    Yossar goes galactic with an astonishing display of our resident astronaut, Ectoplasm, wearing her signature dungarees, as she blindly shoots a moon she believes is a yoga ball.

    These are brilliant - I feel I should be apologising for blackface/gimp mask :o -

    YMPnA7b_d.jpg?maxwidth=640&shape=thumb&fidelity=medium


    by Trigger


    Trigger, true to form, goes for a classic line drawing style to really emphasise the harsh reality of the scene he has developed. Fixxxer, a la 'Sexy Ned Flanders', Skiing through the North Pole in a pair of white Chords as he spies on someone being codswalloped
    [


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,696 ✭✭✭Pretzill


    Love the 'chords' Trigger - brilliant sketch!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,332 ✭✭✭fixXxer


    Jesus. If only I had a head of hair like that!! The rest is exactly right though :D

    by irishejit


    Irishejit, of the European Ejits, using his impeccable tonal skills captures the true emotion behind a starry singing performance by Homer, while his pet husky looks on in agony. Truly a master of his craft.

    by Homer J. Fong


    Homer repays the favour with his imagining of a typical irishejit Saturday night. Thigh-high boots donned. Broomstick in hand. He works that theatre stage like his life depends on it. Fine art at its very finest!

    And that, ladies and gentlemen brings us to our intermission.

    Aww man I WISH I had a husky! Especially one as beautiful as that one.
    And the long-suffering demeanour is probably an accurate reflection of how a dog stuck with me would feel. Many thanks irishejit. :D

    The avatar was all I had to go on....for all I knew you were actually a 19-year girl but you were still getting a big handlebar moustache. :p

    In hindsight one side of your broom could do with some more bristles, and the other side of the stage behind you is a bit empty....not sure what other props would have been suitable though!

    Kolido

    by Spook_ie


    Spook_ie opts for a softly furnished minimalistic brushstyle with his latest piece. Dame Kolido, straddling his favourite inflatable banana as he sips on cocktails on his very own desert island. Our artist has meticulously captured the level of wealth oozing from this scene.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,883 ✭✭✭tusk


    Ladies and Gentlemen, our tour guide will be out of the gallery today, sourcing new and exciting art to display, so we'll be running a special evening tour to finish up this fantastic adventure.
