Capt Thomas Sabo and a crab (2026) Original Oil Painting by Ta Byrne

Each of my Egg character paintings from my book Egg Island will be sent with a signed copy of my book. I am also working on sculptures of the characters

Captain Thomas and his crew were the first people to survive Moon Black's attack. They landed on the shores and were surprised by what they saw. The people on the island looked just like regular people, but their faces looked like the fried eggs the sailors had for breakfast that morning.

The Island is full of characters strange things, even aside from the egg people - dolphins, including a giant one as big as a ship and one even bigger that sleeps at the bottom of the sea; Baboons who think they own the place; Firebugs as big as coconuts who light up the village; Giant turtles who protect the kids when, swimming;  Coconut crabs, bright orange with cat like habits who like their belly scratched;  Little bees with big eyes always sharing honey, and Mushrooms that produce Eggs.
