📀+🍺= The Beast And The Magic Sword!

Superb, bonkers epic from Paul Naschy, mixing his werewolf mythos with samurai fantasy action!

Some beautifully lit scenes that remind me of Mario Bava. The werewolf versus tiger scene alone is insane!

Loved it - truly one of Naschy's finest!

Y’all, Spotify’s stock price sunk by 5% in 1 day. YOU did this by spreading the word to boycott them for running ICE ads.

These billionaires only speak one language—money—so let’s keep up the pressure. Tell everyone you know to cancel their Spotify subscriptions. Send them to BoycottSpotify.com.

Spotify stock graph showing a decrease of $28 in one day (Friday 10/24), the day after Spotify’s boycott became a trending topic on Bluesky. This is a roughly 5% decrease in value.

Those pesky double endpapers in full...

A snowy Dickensian London night-time scene... there's snow on the ground and on the roofs, light in the windows, and smoke coming out of the chimneys. Some men huddle round a brazier. They sky is greenish with a full moon. St Paul's Cathedral peeps out from behind the roofs.

A snowy Dickensian London day. It's Christmas morning and the streets are crowded with folks meeting and greeting and shopping etc. Pigeons fly in the morning sky which is tinged with pink. Carol singers crowd round the brazier. A lad draws a turkey on a sled and shows it to a reformed and jolly Scrooge.

The big thing I did this year and haven't been able to say much about up until now is that I was SOMEHOW asked to illustrate the new Folio Society edition of A Christmas Carol, introduced by Simon Callow. Bit of a dream job. www.foliosociety.com/uk/a-christm...

Limited edition of the Folio Society's A Christmas Carol, illustrated by me. It's bound in red leather with embossed gold wreath and lettering, and the box is lined by and illustration of a snowy night time Dickensian city scene. Surrounded by stuff on my desk (pens, glasses, glue etc).

The standard edition of the Folio Society's A Christmas Carol illustrated by me. The book itself featured a view of Scrooge in a long black coat with a top hat and red scarf from the back, surveying the snowy London skyline. The slip case is green and has vignettes of relevent scenes and motifs in the style of Georgian wallpaper. One of the vignettes is a circular cut out, so when the book is in the slipcase you can see Scrooge's head through it. Surrounded by the loads of rubbish I have on my desk.

An illustration from the first stave of A Christmas Carol. Scrogge is sat by his fire eating his gruel when across his large but shabby drawing room, Marley's ghost appears.

An illustration of the fourth stave, featuring Scrooge and the Ghost of Christmas yet to come (who is a Victorian widow in high mourning, completely draped and almost invisible in black net and bombazine). They are in a graveyard, which is based largely on St Cuthbert's Kirkyard in Edinburgh. She points to his grave, and he looks at it in horror. There is a smaller gravestone to his right, capped with snow which features a skull in bas relief and the words 'MOMENTO MORI' in a motto scroll over the top. The moon shines from an Atkinson Grimshaw-esque greenish winter sky, illuminating the dome of St Paul's Cathedral.

Absolutely loved Michael Curtiz’s Doctor X (1932). A testament to Pre-Code horror’s bite, unmatched for decades, and Curtiz’s urban expressionism is sharply spectacular shadow. But it’s the two-strip technicolor that floors me, a lost palette language that swirls this giallo ancestor in absinthe.

A scientist investigating a body under a sheet, looking like a shadow play as two detectives watch

A dissolve from the full moon and sky to a grandfather clock face

The only truly ethical response that a self-described artist can make. Anything else is a betrayal of one's colleagues.

“I am not interested, nor will I ever be interested. I'm 61, and I hope to be able to remain uninterested in using it at all until I croak. ... The other day, somebody wrote me an email, said, ‘What is your stance on AI?’ And my answer was very short. I said, ‘I'd rather die.’” 🫡

Filmmaker Guillermo del Toro says 'I'd rather die' than use generative AI

Del Toro's new Frankenstein adaption reimagines Mary Shelley's 1818 Gothic novel. Frankenstein was like a tech bro: "creating something without considering the consequences," he explains.

Cor, Jorge Grau's Grade-A zombie banger LIVING DEAD AT THE MANCHESTER MORGUE (1974) has been added to the BFIPlayer for the spooky season. Here's my fan art from ten years ago that ended up on a bootleg German Blu ray release without my permission. How we laughed...
