Winter's End

Winter has come to an end, hopefully, and I was just downloading some pics from my camera last night and found this gem from Feb.!!! Wow, I need to get on the ball. I took this in MA when I went to my lil brother's BBall game.

Great day for shootin', as we had just got hit with about 5" of snow. Which was soon gone hours later.

Well I have some things brewing and projects to be finished. I will be posting shortly!

Cheers!

Story, -Part 8

Okay, here is Part- 8! Look back to the First drawing if you are having trouble figuring out what is going on. Or you could wait until the entire drawing is uploaded.

I am planning on the unveiling for Tuesday! Be sure to check it out and let me know what you think.

I am also working on the next Story board. And things are looking like it's going to get creepier!

I hope you are enjoying my art as it unfolds.

Enjoy.

Cheers!

Welcome HOME!

I am and have been back on American soil for about a week now. I have been fighting off a cold and trying to get back in the swing of things.

It's hard to adjust to a totally different lifestyle. I went from working everyday, to traveling everyday, back to going to work. I know what you are thinking, " it was only for a week"! Yes, it is true, I only traveled for a week, but you get so wrapped up in what your doing, you are thinking different thought, living a different lifestyle and sometimes you don't want to live any other.

I can definitely see myself traveling the world, even if it's for a short amount of time and in small trips like my recent visit to Ireland. 

Anyways, enough of my rambling... How was the trip? How was Ireland? It was bloody freakin' brilliant!!! I only slept 6 hours in the first two days of being there. That definitely took it's toll on my immune system as the trip went on. Lack of sleep is never good. 

Nonetheless, my brother's and I had a blast. A trip for the memory banks. We will remember this always.  Hopefully I (we) will be able to make back to the motherland again. However, until that time comes, I have these photos and a bunch more to remind me of the trip.

The first photo is of me kissing the Blarney Stone. To the right, I am in front of the Guinness Brewery!!! It was better than I imagined.  Next up are the Cliffs of Mohr. They were absolutely breathtaking. I took a picture of a few brightly colored doors while I was over there. Someday when I have my own place, I will be painting my front door a vibrant Red or an electrifying Yellow! That way I will never go into the wrong house on the way home from the bars.  ;) Finally, there is a picture of all three of us enjoy a pint of Ireland's finest!

That's all for now folks! I can definitely say with no regret, "There is no place like home". Besides, I don't like being away from my g/f.  I was missing my love waaaay too much.  :)

Cheers!

2 More Days till Ireland!!!

Yes, you heard right folks, in two days I will be in the air heading to Ireland!!!

Check out the map. This is the ground (in a nutshell) that I will be covering over the week. It's going to be a lot of go, go, go and a lot of sleeping on the bus. Nonetheless, this is sure going to be a trip for the ages. I will try to get on and post along my travels. 

In other news, I am hanging some art (ten pieces) actually the Sunday I come back. I am hanging my art in a restaurant located in Hudson, NH called Dynamite Sushi

Also, I should have mentioned this a few weeks ago, myself and Michael Piper are combining artistic forces to create a super human artist called.... all right enough of that. We created a project called "24 Hour Art Project". The purpose of this project is to raise money for people in need by creating art for 24 HOURS STRAIGHT! 

We are working on setting up our first project for sometime in May. Stay tuned for more information. That said, if you have or know someone that needs a helping hand we would love to help out. 

Check out our blog @ 24 Hour Art Project for more information.

That is it for now. 

Cheers

Traveling Mooney's

If you frequent my blog you already know and if you don't I am going to fill you on my life. In five more days my brothers and I will be traveling over to Ireland! 

We arrive in Ireland around 5 am and from the moment our feet touch the land we are on the move. We start by hopping on a bus 3-4 hours across the country to Galway.  After plenty of sight seeing and several empty glasses, we head down to County Clare to marvel at the Cliffs of Mohr.

Then we move South to Blarney and admire the extravagant Blarney Castle and of course kiss the Blarney Stone. From there we will be heading to the North East to Dublin. Three days in Dublin to wrap up the trip. A week isn't much for a trip around a country (excluding the Northern part of Ireland) but it's sure going to be a lot of fun. 

I try to get on here before I leave. However, I am going to be busy getting ready and making sure I have everything I need. I will definitely have some pictures posted when I get back.

Have a good weekend everyone and be safe!

Peace

Painted Town

If you're like me you like to listen to good music and wet your pallet. I can help you with that first one check out www.drinkingsong.org. There you can listen to a new drinking song each day until St. Patty's Day.

My brother (Brian) and I recorded a song a few weeks ago. This song "Painted Town" will be playing on the 28th of February!

This is a song about how the Irish were building all these houses and they had painted the doors all the same color. Now, what happened was the Irishman would go to the local pub and as they tried to stumble home they wouldn't know what house to go into. Story has it that the famous write George Moore painted his door Green so that another writer Oliver St. John Gogarty wouldn't stumble into the wrong place. Needless to say everyone else followed suit.

For this song "Painted Town" we spruced it up a bit and made the tale a lot more interesting.

This will be the last track of the month before we make our run towards the bar(s). [You will have to let me know what you think of the song.]

I will be celebrating St. Patty's in Ireland! This is sure to be a blast and I will be drinking plenty of the black stuff. mmm... I can already taste it. :)

What do you have planned for the 17th of March or that weekend? I would love to hear what you have planned.

Painting, Ireland and a little more Painting

Alright, as usual it has been a while since my last post. There is good reason for that, I have been working on several projects (painting, designing a few logos, painting, hanging out the my love, trying to relax/sleep when I can, upload new art and update my web site and  what consumes most of my time....my day job)!

Few! Did I miss anything? I probably did but let's move forward. 

You might be wondering why there is a pint of Guinness to the left. or You might be excited that there is a print over there. Are you as thirsty as I am? Well, go grab a pint and check out my buddy Jim's site for a new drinking song each day!

Now, the reason I have posted a pint of Guinness is because....

I am headed to Ireland on March 11th!!!!! And you better believe I am heading to the Guinness brewery for a fresh pint! 

As I have been counting down the days a lot of freakish things have been happening with planes and how they have not really wanted to fly properly. Well, all I can say is that I hope I have the pilot who landed in the Hudson (just incase)...Knock on some wood for me. I am heading over there for a week with my two brothers and it is sure to be a blast. We are pretty much covering the entire country in a week (speed tour) guided by Chevy Chase from European Vacation. We will be landing in Dublin, busing it to Galway for a couple days, heading down to Cork and then finishing the trip off for a few pints in Dublin and celebrating St. Patty's Day!!! This is sure to be an amazing and much needed vacation. Although I don't think there will be too much relaxing.

Once I am back in the states I will definitely upload a few shots and some edited stories. ;)

I will then be getting ready to hang some of my art (10 paintings of my choice) in a restaurant down in Hudson, NH. I will post some more information about this as the day moves closer. If you have any suggestions as to what paintings or drawings I hang in the restaurant, please do let me know.

That's all I have for now. 

Cheers!
