First night of Meh Suff done! This festival is incredible and just being able to travel and see live bands again is awesome. Bölzer and Asphyx absolutely blew me away tonight. Savage sets and worth the price of admission alone. Good friends and death metal. Can't go wrong! Roll on night 2 :) (at Zürich, Switzerland) https://www.instagram.com/p/CTqPrhpKIjc/?utm_medium=tumblr

I worshipped Robin Williams growing up so this was fun to sketch. I might add a bit more detail later but for now I think it's done. #irishillustrator #irishartistsofinstagram #robinwilliams #irishartist #illustrationsbyemmettmulligan #illustration #mullduggery #sketchbook #sketching #quicksketch #comedian #comedy #actor #fanart #portrait #portraitart #handdrawn #wip #workinprogress #sketch #morkfromork #morkandmindy #goodwillhunting #blackandwhiteart #pencilsketch #pencilportrait #pencilart https://www.instagram.com/p/CPraDA8HGp9/?utm_medium=tumblr

Couldn't think of a better way to follow up 2 #richardpryor sketches than with the legend that is @genewilderofficial This is a very rough sketch. His face is so expressive, I found out very hard to catch a likeness. I was trying to keep it to less than 3 hours but will revisit it at some point and clean it up. #irishillustrator #irishartistsofinstagram #irishartist #illustrationsbyemmettmulligan #illustration #genewilder #mullduggery #sketchbook #sketching #quicksketch #comedian #comedy #actor #fanart #portrait #portraitart #handdrawn #wip #workinprogress #sketch #seenoevilhearnoevil #stircrazy #blazingsaddles #blackandwhiteart #pencilsketch #pencilportrait https://www.instagram.com/p/COwSUP-nfnV/?igshid=151z5w2m5dj5y

Another quick @richardpryor sketch that I just finished up the other night. Hoping to bash out a few more like this in the future. Have some commission work to finish up first though. #irishillustrator #irishartistsofinstagram #irishartist #illustrationsbyemmettmulligan #illustration #richardpryor #mullduggery #sketchbook #sketching #quicksketch #standupcomedian #standupcomedy #portrait #portraitart #handdrawn #wip #workinprogress #sketch https://www.instagram.com/p/COsKmNznGxM/?igshid=1rgx5w1sf6kj1

Quick @richardpryor pencil sketch that I knocked out the other night. I've not done a portrait in forever so just did this as a quick practice shot. Was lots of fun so might do a larger, more refined version too. #irishillustrator #irishartistsofinstagram #irishartist #illustrationsbyemmettmulligan #illustration #richardpryor #mullduggery #sketchbook #sketching #quicksketch #standupcomedian #standupcomedy #portrait #portraitart #handdrawn #wip #workinprogress #sketch https://www.instagram.com/p/COn0mkmnJkc/?igshid=11whjfae8cf5g

Absolutely savage gig last night. @mutoidman were class as always but the sound wasn't theirs unfortunately. @kvelertakofficial blew the fucking roof off the place. The new vocalist is like 7 Andrew WK's cellotaped together and fed a massive bag of drugs. Tons of fun! @mastodonrocks were as awesome as always but seeing them with #scottkelly of @neurosisoakland was almost a spiritual experience. Hearing him do Neil Fallon's part in Blood And Thunder gave me chills! Epic gig! #mastodon #mastodonrocks #mutoidman #kvekertak #dublingigs #olympiadublin #olympiatheatre #metalgigs #metalhead #neurosis (at Olympia Theatre) https://www.instagram.com/p/BstVq6znE-H/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=5mhkg6sjnruw

#throwbackthursday to 2 years ago when I was slowly figuring my way through this piece for @blacktempleshrines The actual piece itself is based on how I was feeling after someone near and dear to me took her own life a year or so previous. When I looked back on my last conversation with her (which I still have saved on my phone) I could see little cries for help that I never spotted at the time and I'm sure if I were to ask other friends they'd say the same. We'd gladly give up our hearts for her which I why I wound up drawing a 'Heart Garden' character who's literally growing new hearts in his chest so he has plenty to hand to those in need. I'll eventually draw a companion piece to go to the left of this that will represent her better but that's a piece for another day. #sacredgeometry #illustration #illustrationsbyemmettmulligan #mullduggery #mentalhealth #arttherapy #nature #mentalhealthawareness #mindfullness #handdrawn #stippling #pointilism #blackandwhiteillustration #irishartist #irishillustrator #skulls #skullart #occultart #leaves #moonflowers #growthfullness https://www.instagram.com/p/Brn8WpFHgX9/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1okser8o8drdz

Myself and @art_by_newt will be back at the #dublinalternativemarket in @voodooloungedublin this Sunday where we'll be looking just as majestic as we were in this pic from last year. I'll have original artwork as well as prints and Newt has some new stuff she'll be showing off too. Come on down, pick up a print, look around, have 4 more pints, get buzzed and come back and buy all the stuff you were too s̶o̶b̶e̶r̶ stupid to buy first time around. Don't worry about all the cash you splashed at the bar. We can take debit/credit cards too. You lucky fuckin bastards!! #markets #dublinmarkets #illustrationsbyemmettmulligan #mullduggery #skulls #skullart #dotwork #artbynewt #dublinmetal #pointilism #voodooloungedublin #handdrawn #alternative #metalhead #beard #prints #originalartwork #metalscene #occult #occultart #hanneman (at The Dublin Alternative Market) https://www.instagram.com/p/BrOu6GUn_TQ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=3ft8x5604j6d

The recently released debut album by Germany's @unclouded_perception I actually handed over this artwork over a year ago so it's nice to finally have it see the light of day. All artwork by me.

Corrosion of Conformity @coccabal kicking unholy amounts of arse in the Tivoli on Monday night. My favourite band in the fuckin world. Was right in front of Pepper when he hopped in the crowd for a bit of craic too. #coccabal #corrosionofconformity #cocband #dublingigs #metalhead #metal #southernmetal #pepperkeenan #mikedean #woodyweatherman no #reedmullin :( #nocrossnocrown #deliverance #wiseblood #inthearmsofgod #americasvolumedealer #votewithabullet (at Tivoli Theatre) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpVlllwnSPb/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=cb05ihi83jj6

Final week of the portrait drawing class by @alankeaneart in the studio in @artmines_195 In the final class we added any finishing touches and flourishes and also got to frame our piece as part of the class. Have to say, for my first attempt at photorealism I'm pretty happy. #illustrationsbyemmettmulligan #mullduggery #illustration #wip #workinprogress #portraiture #portrait #portraitillustration #progress #pencildrawing #pencilonpaper #graphite #handdrawn #irishartist #irishillstrator #irishillustration #metalfan #metalhead #starvingartist #photorealism #artclass #rathmines #artmines #noskullsforonce (at Artmines) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpDrMPKHhLb/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=16ebcqsfgwsf1

Progress update from week 5 of 6 of @alankeaneart 'How To Draw a Perfect Likeness' course in Photorealism, being held in the studio in @artmines_195 Lots more work to do, particularly on the hair and in the contouring of the face. As I said before, I'm thoroughly enjoying this class so far and would 100% recommend to anyone at any level of drawing. If portraiture is something you've an interest in then Alan is the way to1 more week to go.

Week 4 of 6 into Alan Keane's 'How To Draw a Perfect Likeness' course in Photorealism. Kinda wishing I'd started taking pics in week 1 so I could better show progress but ah well. Thoroughly enjoying this class so far and would 100% recommend to anyone at any level of drawing. 2 more weeks to go. Can't wait to see how it turns out!
