It is a Corten Steel Sculpture by John Kelly, an Australian Artist. It is large : 394x360x32cm, donated through the Australian Government's Cultural Gift Program by Bill Nuttall and Anne Reeves in 2009.
John Kelly was born in England in 1965. His family emigrated to Australia later the same year and settled in the Melbourne suburb of Sunshine.
In 1985, he earned a Bachelor of Arts (Visual Arts Painting) from RMIT where he also completed his Masters of Arts in 1995. As a winner of the 1995 Anne & Gordon Samstag International Visual Arts Scholarship, he travelled to London to study as an Affiliate Student at the Slade School of Art from 1996 to 1997.
In 2006, Kelly was invited by Agnew's Gallery in London to exhibit his work. The gallery who formerly represented Sir Sidney Nolan exhibited three paintings from the Logo series in 'Looking Forward – 30 British Artists'. In late 2006 the McClelland Sculpture Park and Art Gallery surveyed a collection of his sculptures in a show titled 'Deconstructing Australia', which introduced a new element. This element was a shape borrowed from a Sidney Nolan painting 'Moonboy' or 'The Boy and the Moon' a seminal 1939 work by Australia's most important 20th century painter. (www.sidneynolantrust.org/img/built/KX9k7644kg-1500.webp) At first Kelly simply turned it upside down so it became a light (Nolan's light), but eventually it evolved into other things including an alien.
McClelland Sculpture Park and Gallery is an Australian sculpture park and gallery located in Langwarrin in Melbourne, Victoria. It displays more than 100 large-scale works by prominent Australian sculptors in 16 hectares of bush and landscaped gardens.
This little astronaut was made for a project I was planning on making. It's been on hold for a long time, and now I even think of canceling it. The plan was to make a small book about this astronaut, but I figured it would take a crazy amount of work and time, without any certainty about the results. I might still do it later, in a different artform... mysterious eh? :)
But since I made this character (he doesn't have a name yet) I figured I should use it :)
the sun has washed out a bit of the detail. I pray for sun this time of year in portland, but didn't realize how much I got when I shot these pics. Each one has layers of sofubi spray, cel-vinyl, and gouache, then hit with a thick batter of clearcoat. These come in non traditional bag and headers.
"And so the story goes they wore the clothes
They said the things to make it seem improbable
The whale of a lie like they hope it was
And the Goodmen Tomorrow
Had their feet in the wallow
And their heads of Brawn were nicer shorn
And how they bought their positions with saccharin and trust
And the world was asleep to our latent fuss
Sighing, the swirl through the streets
Like the crust of the sun
The Bewlay Brothers
In our Wings that Bark
Flashing teeth of Brass
Standing tall in the dark
Oh, And we were Gone
Hanging out with your Dwarf Men
We were so turned on
By your lack of conclusions
I was Stone and he was Wax
So he could scream, and still relax, unbelievable
And we frightened the small children away
And our talk was old and dust would flow
Thru our veins and Lo! it was midnight
Back at the kitchen door
Like the grim face on the Cathedral floor
And the solid book we wrote
Cannot be found today
And it was Stalking time for the Moonboys
The Bewlay Brothers
With our backs on the arch
In the Devil-may-be-here
But He can't sing about that
Oh, And we were Gone
Real Cool Traders
We were so Turned On
You thought we were Fakers
Now the dress is hung, the ticket pawned
The Factor Max that proved the fact
Is melted down
And woven on the edging of my pillow
Now my Brother lays upon the Rocks
He could be dead, He could be not
He could be You
He's Chameleon, Comedian, Corinthian and Caricature
Shooting-up Pie-in-the-Sky
The Bewlay Brothers
In the feeble and the Bad
The Bewlay Brothers
In the Blessed and Cold
In the Crutch-hungry Dark
Was where we flayed our Mark
Oh, and we were Gone
Kings of Oblivion
We were so Turned On
In the Mind-Warp Pavilion
Lay me place and bake me Pie
I'm starving for me Gravy
Leave my shoes, and door unlocked
I might just slip away, hey
Just for the Day, Hey!
Hey, Please come Away, Hey!
Just for the Day, Hey!
Please come Away, Hey!
Please come Away, Hey!
Just for the Day
Please come Away
Please come Away
Please come Away
Please come Away
Away
(Away)
Away
Hey"...

While It's great that Kirby's projects are now finally being collected into nice hardcover collections, the coloring in these books is just terrible. What a missed opportunity.
Just because the original comics were colored horribly doesn't mean reprints of old comics have to be ugly too. I would love to see Kirby colored by a smart modern colorist like Dave Stewart, Hollingsworth or Loughridge. There is so much good drawing that is demolished by crappy coloring that is trying to poorly emulate the shitty coloring of the past. Trying to color an old comic reprint in it's original style is like purposefully scratching up the film of Casablanca before putting onto DVD because it's an old film.
Color plays a huge part in how a cartoonists work comes across to an audience. Good artwork's effectiveness can be ruined by a bad color job. Much of the work by older artists is dismissed as childish looking by modern audiences and I feel a big part of it lies in the misguided and thoughtless color jobs that are applied to what is actually very powerful and thoughtful line art.
Enough ranting... for now.
Today's story and sketch "by me" we see Leroy Gofish piloting his Anion antigrav Merc along the Chicago River,
and in the background some of Leroy's famous buildings, like the first Alien Playboy Club, the Moon Boy Mansion, the
Prickly Pear Moon Pie Factory. which is where our story actually began nine hundred or so years ago, that being
when Leroy, a young alien entrepreneur from the Opuntia Crater on Lippo, the Blue Moon, found what he believed to
be a wonderful place to plant his Opuntia Cactus (prickly pear), plants. Well and the fact that he did a soft crash
landing when he ran out of Ion fuel for his Anion Drive Lippo Transporter. So as he was falling out of Orbit,
sent this message, (Calling Helpline I'm Crashing And Going, O'shit), just before the crash.
He got a message back from Lippo flight control in about three weeks that was abbreviated and read got your message,
(C.H.I.C.A.G.O) to far to send tow, you are on your own sport, and good luck.
And that is how this area became known as (Chicago). There is as you may guess, more to Leroy's story, but those are
stories for another time.

his remarkable sight marks the battlefield at Curlew Pass is overlooked by an impressionistic sculpture by Maurice Harron called "The Gaelic Chieftain", unveiled in 1999.
It overlooks the N4 Bypass in Boyle, Co Roscommon (where Moonboy the TV series is set). You can drive off the main road and park right up by him to get out and have a look up close.

Particularmente não gostei muito dessa base de cabeça, mas sei que se a desfazer, poderei me arrepender.
Basicamente funcionará com um truque: nela colocarei várias bolinhas que serão as crateras e, depois disso, vou cobrir com um tecido amarelo que será o rosto final do Menino Lua.
Aguarde os próximos passos...

I've been reading a lot of Jack Kirby lately. Specifically his 70's material that was "Edited, Written and Drawn by Jack Kirby"
Until recently, I'd only read bits and pieces of the material through random quarter bin finds and loner copies from friends. I've read bits of everything but never a full run of any of it.
Now over the next month or so, I'm gonna read all of it in it's entirety!
So far I've finished the 1st Fourth World Omnibus and the Devil Dinosaur collection.
So far, I'm much more affected than I thought I'd be. The way the random Fourth World concepts weave in and out of each other is fascinating to watch. One idea is tossed out randomly as another is forgotten all while keeping the entire thing moving along a hidden track. Knowing how quickly the material was produced amazes me too. It's like some sort of Free Jazz experiment done in comics form. I look forward to see what's to come.
Devil Dinosaur in all it's wackiness has some really nice moments and some fun ideas. Time travel, alien robots. dino riders, and a bible parable are served out in primordial glory.
Having read the entire 9 issue run of Devil Dinosaur I thought I'd see what I had come away with. The brotherhood between Moon-Boy and Devil is the main focus of the series and what I tried to convey here.
Expect Inks soon.

Here are the raw inks for my Devil Dinosaur piece.
I'm not too sure on how the Volcano and smoke trail are treating the overall composition. There is a goddam volcano in every DD background so I figured it would be a crime to not include one.
The smoke may have to be simplified in order to not distract to much from the serene moment between DD and Moon-boy. We'll see.
I'm often surprised by how an awkward composition can be take on a completely different feel once you've colored it.
