Happy Christmas From Three Headed Troll

Neecie's Fart Collection

Behold fellow bloggers the Art that fills our apartment courtesy of Denise my Gurlfriend.


I really like this oval shaped oil painting by Hyulami
it currently resides in our shitting room (sitting room).



I love this nightime sea scene, very fantasy looking (just add a Dragon)
It is a large oil painting (3 foot X 2 foot) and signed A.J Wiseman, may 1969




Nice if your Neecy (this is just a print)


This scary monstrocity is something else, I cant work out
the signature (initials are H.T in red) Denise came home
with it from a car boot sale last year. It resides in the hallway.
Sometimes I scare Denise with it by just busting into the
toilet when she's on the can and just pushing the Bulls face
through the open door, its a crazy big thing too (about 3 foot
by 2 foot).I really dig this for its whacky composition, a bull
and a bird? Denise's Art taste is definately diverse.

Denise had this Oil painting commissioned about 10 years ago.
It is painted by a local Arteest called Ann Turner....nice.


Another tasteful print. Bedroom

Speaking of Bulls, I've heard the Artist of this particular
piece is a veritable well hung bull of a man!

Actually its a print of a digital painting by myself.......


The Titanic at full steam, just off the south coast of Ireland.
Denise loves the Titanic, and anything Titanic related.
I painted this piece (albeit crappily) last year for her birthday.
Acrylics & Ink on watercolour board. I have been meaning to
do her a better rendition.


Small oil painting by a F.Murphy, I dig the limited colour palate
on this piece, the artist shows his blending skills pretty well.
I like this particular piece. I would dig seeing him paint a
fantasy scene.


Old prints by myself Denise & a Troll and a
small model of the Tiger tank I drove during the war.
(I climbed inside the Tiger II in Bovington tank museum)
My niece Rachel and her Dolphin friend Snorky nestle
in the background, the Gargoyles gaze on malignantly.


Denise likes this particular piece. It has its merits, I like
the way the background trails away and the foregound is
laid down thick in an inpasto effect with a pallet knife.
Oils again. It needs a few Otyugh's or something...


One of my favourite pieces belonging to Denise.A very small
oil painting, brilliant painting skill, very Bob Ross. I have
probably studied this piece the most.By W.Cramer....nice.




Sort of African Savannah look to this Oil painting.
Largeish (3 foot by a foot and a half) cant make the
scribbly signature out.(pauses to sip hot Chocolate)
Yes straight men do drink that particular beverage.
Presently in our bedroom above the headboard.
It may very well fall one night and squash my melon head.

Conan the Cimmerian

Sahuagin Attack!

Here's my latest doodle of a commission I recently got.

Sahuagins....they're like flippin' cock-a-roaches!

Completion, progress and another meowth to feed.

Howdy Folks,

I've been busy trying to get some pieces together for Con on the Cob. Here is a sampling of some of my latest work. If you get a chance to pop up to Ohio to attend Con on the Cob, be sure to track down Brian and myself. We'll have art on display in the artist alley. I promise we don't bite.

I finished that Chanticleer piece. Pretty pleased with how it came out:

I also completed a Harpy, at the urging of my friend Stace, who thought it was a shame that none of my work had boobies. Enjoy!

On to the work in progress. Well, I've had a piece sitting on my easel for over a year now. It's a gessoed masonite board, 12" wide x 36" tall. Very tall and skinny. I laid down some initial background shapes in acrylic, then completed the rest in oils. You can paint oil over acrylic, just never vice versa ;)

I want the piece to be something of a sequel to my Grave Robbers (oil and kitty litter on canvas), below:

So, I got the acrylic tones in and a little bit of oil, then the poor thing sat neglected forever. I think my problem is that I'm used to working in acrylic and as a result, I'm spoiled by the quick drying time. Oils take sooooo long to dry, and I can only work for so long before everything gets muddy. Eventually, I set the painting aside to let it dry, then never get back to it.

Here's the poor painting, sitting dejectedly in my studio. It's that tall pink vagina-shaped monstrosity nestled beneath the stand-up easel in the corner.

Several weeks ago, I took it out and dabbled a bit. The idea has always been to have the Grave Robbers being confronted by a spectral, translucent detective. I made a bit of progress on the figures and the surrounding caves. Then it sat again.

Well, I finally got the notion to work on it a bit more today, with further fleshing of the Robbers (and their cat), and the initial stages of the ghost. For obvious reasons, I'll have to wait until the Robbers are fully resolved before I can add the trench-coated shoulder and raised .45 automatic of the ghostly detective. You'll be able to see the other figures through his non-corporeal shoulder.

Things started to get a little muddy, so I decided to call it a day and took a few pictures to share. However, in reviewing them, I just hated the tall skinny guy in the top hat. He looked like some half-assed Gandalf, and his posture was uninteresting and stiff.

Stepping away from the painting, indeed viewing the pics on the small screen of my iPhone, drove it home. He needed a complete do-over. So, I went back to the easel and picked up the brush in order to make him a little more crooked. No matter that his shadow would no longer match - Maybe he's got some Bram Stoker's Dracula action going on. As they say, "Kill your darlings". So, I killed him. I was instantly satisfied, as a more dynamic shape took form. The new crooked form fit well into the compositional space of the figures. For now, he's just a black shape:

Love it! So long, Gandalf!

But wait... now the shape looks like an awesome anthropomorphic crow! If I gave him a black beak that pointed toward the cat's ears, and worked on some feathers...

So, that will be the next step. Materialize the crow-man and make the tall, mismatched shadow INTO the 2nd Robber, complete with top hat, curly beard and whacked-out eyes. Those features will definitely help bring the eye up to the otherwise neglected top half of the painting.

I'll post the results as soon as they happen. For now, it's the "let it dry" game. But with Con on the Cob a mere 3 weeks away, I don't have the luxury of sitting on it this time.

Finally, I've added a new "helper" to the household. My coworkers found a poor little stray kitten and brought him to me because they know I'm a sucker. Here he is, doing routine maintenance on my WACOM tablet. Damn, is he cute or what?

"Chewy! Hand me the pixel spanner!"

Entering Acererak's Tomb

Here's my latest drawing of an adventuring party just entering the deadliest D&D module ever created....the TOMB OF HORRORS. Arguably my favorite module from back in the day. Hope you enjoy....

Stirge Encounter!

Here's a recent sketchbook commission that I just completed this weekend. The only stipulations by the person wanting the commission was that he wanted it to have an adventuring party and stirges in it. This is what I came up with...
