IM BACK AND I'M BLACK

Well, i'm not black, but i do wear a lot of black, so that kinda counts ....right? But one thing's for sure, i'm definately back. Had a great time in London meeting up with some old friends, and some new ones too. Will probably stick up some photos when i can be bothered.

DRUNKEN HILARITY

In the meantime, he's some drunken endevours i produced while on holiday with the help of my good pal Will Sliney. In the pub, i had some pens on me, got some paper and we got scribbling.
Ignoring the bar which was more and more becomming full of attractive girls, Will and i resisted our carnal urges and instead geeked out on old cartoons and came up with a couple of themes for us to draw from. The first theme we came up with was characters from the old X-men cartoon. Y'know, the one where Rogue had a really sexy voice, and Wolverine sounded bad-ass. I came up with what character Will had to draw, and vice versa.




















We came up with another theme for the second one: Villains from the old Batman animated series. Man, i loved that show.



















Once we finished a sheet, we each did a portrait of each other. Pretty much flawless in every way, they were. Will definately summed me up pretty well.

More crap soon.

You guys have way to much time on your hands. Get back to them drawing tables fellas!

May I just point out the units of alcohol consumed is at the top of each respective sheet. May I also point out that said bar had a 10 to 1 ratio of girls to guys!! Dec, why are we so lame???

I dunno Will, maybe we're just getting old.
Maybe i've lost that trademarked hard-on you so perfectly illustrated and my once one-track mind, has now decided to concentrate on art alone.

Man, there were some hot girls out that night. In Limerick, of all places.....

Cool stuff, guys. I'd also like to add that I loved both of those cartoons, particularly Batman. Is it me, or did it not have the longest opening theme ever? And hey, any cartoon that can be parodied with "I'm the Juggernaut, bitch!" is gold. If you haven't seen it, seek it out now.

I swear to god.... guys, seriously.... drawings FUN and all..... but in a pub full of women? And you weren't even drawing crappy 'portraits' of them so that they'd be stupidly impressed?..... sigh. And do ye just carry yer art materials EVERYWHERE? Guys!

Tee hee! I love it. I have a stack of your drunken art which I'll post soon. I loved that xmen toon, can sort of see your old shading technique in it (=shit)

I'm like that with the Archie Turtles comics, STILL read them every now and then.

Declan Shalvey said...

Bob, that drunken art ain't fit for public consunption!!!!
Not unless you stick a 'mature readers' label on them, or stick an 'Over 18s' label on them, or, print them out and set 'em on fire.

.....and Moondog, in defence of Will, it was me who 'just happened to have' the pens, and the bar provided the paper.

Will Sliney said...

May I point out, that if it seems bad that we just drew while in a pub full of girls, its not a patch on the time that Dec got a lapdance and whipped out his......
Sketchbook!!!

oopinky said...

sounds kinky

oopinky said...

ha:)

Declan Shalvey said...

Thank you Laura,

You say 'dedicated', everyone else says 'sad'.
And pay no attention to Will, that was a completely different situation where my only way out was to DRAW myself out.
I'll tell you that story another time ...unless Will has told you everything already.....

Drinking and drawing...a dangerous combo indeed. All of those drawings kick arse by the way, especially considering the demon drink being involved.

Oh, that Two Face you drew? Perfect.
