I present the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (or TMNT) illustrated, as always, with a brushes, pens, ink and watercolours. TMNT, named after the classical painters: Raphael in red, Leonardo in blue, Donatello in purple, and Michelangelo in orange.

See a timelapse of this on my Instagram:

https://www.instagram.com/reel/DciqdqWIkIt/?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsi=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

TMNT created by Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird. They may be corporate IP now, but the TMNT juxtaposition was concocted on paper with pen and ink by two people. It has since passed through a lineage of creators. This is the nature of creating a true icon - it escapes the grasp of its creators.

This is part of my continuing series adopting pop culture iconography across comics, film, animation and beyond - and filming the process. The purpose of this is to sharpen the sword, create dynamic compositions, and contribute to an artistic lineage that has inspired me greatly.

https://oreganillo.org/pop-culture

Among the mediums of art I am deeply invested in is comics. I have been quietly working away on some graphic novel and miniseries projects, as a writer-artist. Hope one day I can spin a tale for the TMNT…

If you like this, I am open for commissions of all kinds!

I present an original illustration of the Dagda, a god from Irish mythology. This is from Manchán Magan's ‘Ireland in Iceland: Gaelic Remnants in a Nordic Land’.

He was a god of agriculture, with two magical pigs, and a cauldron of plenty or ‘coire ansic’, which never ran dry. Also fruit trees which were never barren.

The book is available online to buy, I encourage anybody to seek it out, the late Manchán wrote a stirring adventure by land and sea, encompassing vast history, folklore and myth. It includes 125+ ink and watercolor illustrations of mine.

I am Aodh Ó Riagáin AKA Oreganillo, I am working in the tradition of the filí, the ancient poets, preserving and adapting Irish myth and folklore across multiple mediums, from illustration to animation, comics and film. I am devoted to producing richly realised and epic renditions of these myths for the purpose of my own decolonisation, and to hopefully aid others in the same quest. This is a vocation, a lifelong quest for me.

I present 'Retreat of the Tuatha Dé Danann', a piece of artwork I created for the late Manchán Magan's penultimate book, 'Ireland in Iceland: Gaelic Remnants in a Nordic Land'. This piece was featured in Manchan's essay for the Irish Times Weekend paper.

This is one of 120+ pieces I illustrated for the book using brush, pen, ink and watercolor.

In the age of AI, the foundation of all my work is traditional media on paper. Here I have applied open source photography of a sky to compliment the foreground illustration. This mixed media approach is a continuing element of my work.

I am deeply proud of 'Ireland in Iceland: Gaelic Remnants in a Nordic Land', to have collaborated with Manchán, a great mentor and a true druid. Please seek it out.

I present Spider-Man and Scorpion, after Steve Ditko in Amazing Spider-Man no. 20 from 1964! This took me 6 hours when all was said and done.

Spider-man, the god of responsibility, community and compassion, among the most iconic things to emerge from the 20th century.

Going for a bold combination. Absolute Batman soars through the skies.

See more of my work: https://oreganillo.org/

My take on Absolute Batman! I love the manga infused soul Nick Dragotta brings to this series, Scott Snyder is the best in the biz when it comes to narrative progression. I sense I'll be doing more takes on these characters soon. Anxious to illustrate the Robins...

Illustrated with a brush, pen and ink on paper, coloured digitally. I love when a comic page showcases a character's interiority, and unmasking Bruce felt a right way to do it here.

Watch this space for more of my takes on iconic characters going forward as I work steadily on my own comic projects... It is a goal of mine to be working on variant covers before too long.

I present to you the festival of Lir, held for his children who have been transformed into swans through a scornful spell. They are: Fionnuala, Aodh, Fiachra, and Conn. 🦢🦢🦢🦢

The tragedy of the children of Lir is the most popularly known Gaelic myth. I was recently commissioned to create an ink and watercolor illustration using this myth, and I chose this moment to illuminate.

Without a doubt the largest crowd of individuals I have illustrated. Sometimes it’s necessary for lack of time, but I hesitate to drawn faceless crowds of generic bodies. I love the quality of seeing somebody and their soul or essence is manifest in their costume and action.
