Very much enjoying The Planets and Star Wars at the Proms on BBC 2 now - incredible to think of Holst composing these over 100 years ago and hearing the influence it had on Williams' scores. ✨️

Working on Halloween themes buildings and these hearses are making me laugh to draw
My favorite part of doing this is doing little to no sketching so it’s the exact opposite of how I normally draw which is 40 of the same drawing on 40 pieces of tracing paper or layers

If I had a nickel for every time I've seen a film in 2025 starring Scarlett Johansson & Rupert Friend, with a score by Alexandre Desplat, I'd have two nickels.
Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.
