I've just launched version 2.1 of the GlenMullaly.com website! As well I'm splitting off a new blog... Glen Mullaly Illustration to focus on the illustration and work-related side of things.
This blog will still be active and updated (don't change that dial!), but I'm discontinuing links from my new site to here and to my Flickr photostream and making these mostly for friends and family. But these sites will still be here and updated, just not advertised as such on the main website.
These changes coincide with the announcement that I've signed with artist representative Deborah Wolfe Ltd and IllustrationOnline.com. We're very excited about this big step and look forward to seeing where things go from here.
And to coincide with this fresh direction expect in the near future to see some much needed improvements and changes at both this blog and my website GlenMullaly.com... hang onto your hats folks, the fun's about to begin!
Since Joanne and I were married in Florida with a VERY small wedding party we wanted to have a couple get-togethers with family and friends.
In February we traveled to Tennessee to celebrate with Joanne's extended family from Tenn., Indiana and Mississippi. Then a couple weekends ago we held an open house at our new home in Canada to share our happiness (and food!) with the north-of-the-border contingent.
This was the front of the invitation we mailed out, featuring us, our new house (that's Joanne attempting to evade the 1950s paparazzi on the front walk), our wedding rings (aircraft-grade titanium don'tchaknow!), and our cat.
We had a great triple-chocolate cake on the evening of our February wedding in Florida, but my mom pulled out all the stops and bowled us over with this cake the morning of the open house!
Marzipan robots based on Joanne's robot Christmas ornaments...
... fondant gears and cogs, cream icing and super-moist carrot cake. Needless to say it was a smash hit with us and the guests.
She also made a more traditional almond paste and icing covered dark fruit cake (which we love) that you can see in the upper left. It went quickly too!
Check out more photos of the open house and more of my mom's amazing handiwork at her Flickr photostream...
We went with a late 50's - early 60s theme for all the food (just a portion which is pictured above) my mom made for the open house.
With the exception of the veggie plate she was kept busy restocking all afternoon.
Butter tarts, lemon shortbread and sugar cookies all went over very well with the 40 or so people who attended.
Fruit Kabobs!
Joanne loved these Monkey Cookies! The guests must have as well since they didn't last long.
It was tough to cut this up, but delicious!
So a big thank you to everyone who was able to join us in our celebration. And best wishes to those who couldn't attend. Hopefully we'll be seeing you soon.
After a LONG absence I've started posting vintage illustration to Flickr again. This batch is from a wonderful 1950 Little Golden book illustrated by JP Miller. For more images and info why not visit my photostream over... here!
With all the hubbub around these parts lately it plum slipped my mind to let you all know about the latest issue of Kayak Magazine that hit the streets a month ago! I'm finally starting to get the hang of drawing that dang moose!
As well, it's time to once again to plug my regular puzzles and fun feature in Know Mag, the science magazine for curious kids. This issue is all about backyard birds, so fly down to your local newsstand tout de tweet!

I figured it was time to finally post some finished photos from our wedding in February! This shot was taken in low light, so I enhanced the graininess and aged it for a vintage backstage look. Photo taken by Karen Mullaly.

Joanne's dress was a vintage 1954 Vogue pattern, custom made for her. My suit was custom made and styled after the suit worn by Dean Martin in 1960's (filmed in 1959) Ocean's 11. Photo taken by Karen Mullaly.

I married a movie star! The duo-tone red and green look of this effect perfectly suits Joanne's vintage dress, makeup and hair.

I'm not sure what I said to Joanne to get this look, but it worked!

Born with a pencil in his hand (after
four unsuccessful attempts doctors
managed to transplant it to just above
his right ear) Canadian Glen Mullaly
draws neato pictures for kids of all
ages from the swanky west coast
studio that he shares with his
awesomely-understanding wife and
their spectacularly indifferent cat.
