T is for Transformations in my linocut #folkhorroralphabet inspired by the short film ‘Transformations’ (1972) directed by Barbara Hirschfield. The film follows a coven of Vermont witches as they prepare for a ritual of white magic.

Record label Basin Rock are selling a lot of their vinyl for a tenner so if you’re into folk, wyrd folk and out there singer songwriters give them a go.
Andrew Tuttle and Bridget Hayden are both great.

It's a tired trope that horses are incredibly hard to draw but I'd like to clarify it's the weird fucking legs that get you.

This afternoon; Judy Collins.

It’s not my favourite JC but when it finds its stride it’s astonishing; her interpretation of gruesome murder ballad ‘Pretty Polly’ featuring Stephen Stills and Van Dyke Parks positively struts.

S is for Starve Acre in my #folkhorroralphabet a linocut series inspired by folk horror tinged books, films and music. The novel was a reading highlight of last year, a chilling story of grief and desperation in a rural setting.

R is for a Robin Redbreast from my #folkhorroralphabet inspired by the 1970 Play for Today short film. It manages to fuse rural isolation, Pagan ritual and feminism in a taut seventy minutes with a slow-build ominous creeping dread.

Q is for Quarantine from my Folk Horror Alphabet.

‘Quarantine’ (2018) is a wonderful folk horror tinged stop motion film ‘a post Brexit pagan dance fantasy about a troupe of Morris-dancing badgers…’

Available to watch on the BFI website.

O is for Owl Service from my linocut #folkhorroralphabet inspired by the 1967 novel by Alan Garner which he adapted from Welsh folklore. There’s a television series from 1969 which holds up surprisingly well.

Driven from Margate to Clacton and back again for a funeral today. The car heater stopped working on the way home.

I’ve had better days.
