About

The Drunken Llama is an online art and literary blog/magazine based in the U. S., founded in 2014 by Vincent St. Clare and Magghie O’Shea. It is our intention at The Drunken Llama to help unknown creatives gain exposure and promote unique voices the world over. We look to support the underdogs of the arts, whose work—even though often brilliant or innovative—goes unnoticed in a rapidly expanding, worldwide mass of aesthetic endeavors and creative projects. (In such a world keeping your “head above the water” can seem daunting, if not impossible, as a fledgling artist or author.) We hope to accomplish this by featuring the best work of a diverse group of artists, illustrators, photographers, and writers. Why “The Drunken Llama”? Well, we like llamas, and we like beer, and we think it would be hella funny if a llama—of all things—stumbled out of a bar at 2 AM on a Thursday.
