The Columbus Scroll

This week has seen the culmination of a couple of hush-hush commission projects, so it's about time I cracked on with something grand and ambitious of my own for once! a small snippet, but don't want to give it all away just yet:

New York Rivals: GIANTS and JETS!

Terrific fun I had here, a melee of Mechanical athletes crashing across NYC - My illustrative tribute to Superbowl XLVI Champions The Giants, and their cross town rivals The Jets.

Watercolour and pencils for this one, click for full size, enjoy!

Fawcett Inn Pub Sign Comp

Southsea Pub The Fawcett Inn had a competition to design their new Sign. Here's my entry, depicting Lt. Alexander Fawcett who died during the Indian Mutiny in 1858, and where Fawcett road and it's pub get their name.

200 Years of Dickens

The magnificent Author of victorian classics, Oliver Twist and Great expectations, and owner of a fine piece of coiffed facial fuzz - Portsmouth born literary legend Charles Dickens was born 200 years ago today, what better excuse to pick up the blog again!

Famous Whiskers: No.21 - Rolf Harris!

Can ya' tell what it is yet? To conclude the furry facial festivities I've saved, in my humble opinion, the best and most appropriate 'til last - Tie MO kangaroo down sport - it's ROLF!

And that's it! The final day of MACKIN-TACHE's month of Moustaches! I hope you've all enjoyed the show, make sure you keep your eyes peeled for artwork of a more miscellaneous nature on this fair site, and now I'm off for a shave - adios aMOgos!

Miscellaneous Moustaches: No.2 - MO-ni Cooper

The most mustachioed MO-tor car that came to mind. OK, I may be a teeny bit biased, but this must be the finest AutoMObile ever to exist...

Mo-nations...

Greetings globally gregarious mingling maniacs of this month of mustachioed madness! Don't forget to show your appreciation for all the fine furry faces on display here at Mackin-Tache by clicking on the Donate / MoSpace link on the right of the page. Anything you can spare to support mens cancer charities is greatly appreciated :{)

Thanks, Arran.

Famous Whiskers: No.20 - Dick Van Dyke

Star of MO-ry Poppins, Tache-ee Tache-ee Band Bang, and DiagMOsis MO-der!

Famous Whiskers: No.19 - Jackson Browne

Not a consistent wearer of fuzzy facial decoration, but a fine example nonetheless. Anyhow I couldn't bear to exclude such a hero.

Tache it easy:

Famous Whiskers: No.18 - WOLF MAN

Gladiators Wolf, A.K.A Micheal Van Wijk with a suitably wild-man hair and stubbly 90's tache:

Animals with Taches: No.7 - MO-by Dick!

Ahoy and Avast MO hearties, thar she MO-ws... etc, etc:

Famous Whiskers: No.17 - Arthur MO-nan Doyle

Another prime specimen of furry facial fantasy, perfectly fitting of the fleshy brain encasement of such an imagination!

Famous Whiskers: No.16 - Peter Sellers

A fellow native of Portsmouth, the pink panther, Peter Sellers:

Famous Whiskers: No.15 - John Cleese

And now for something completely different:

Star of MO-nty Python and the MO-ly Grail...

Famous Whiskers: No.14 - Lord kitchener

How have three weeks of this chaos gone by before I remembered this one!

Your face needs MO HAIR!

Famous Whiskers: No.13 - Aldo Giuffre - 'The Ugly'

The weekends final fiendishly follicled foe, Aldo Giuffre.

Famous Whiskers: No.12 - Lee Van Cleef - 'The Bad'

Numero two of this weekends special, the villainous Lee Van Cleef.

Famous Whiskers: No.11 - Clint Eastwood - 'The Good'

Do-de-do-de-doooo - Waa-Waa-Waaaa.

Yes I've run out of things to say.

Anyway, here comes a trilogy of Taches for a tremendous weekend of western themed moustachary!

Enjoy.

Famous Whiskers: No.10 - William Shakespeare

What on earth can I do here? Do I honestly dare type a few words about the man, or simply admit my inferiority to the grandest wordsmith of all and make with the pretty pictures...

All For Mo...
