It’s been amazing to finally have #Superman back on the big screen this year in a bright, bold and colourful new interpretation, and I’m excited to see where @jamesgunn.bsky.social, David Corenswet, Nicholas Hoult, Rachel Brosnahan et al take the iconic cast of characters next in #ManofTomorrow!

Alien: Earth has been awesome so far. A great balance of ticking the nostalgia boxes whilst being creepy and terrifying in brand new ways! Here’s a portrait of Sydney Chandler as Wendy.

Had a blast seeing #FantasticFour on the biggest screen possible! Obviously they had me at retro-futurism but I found it to be a very entertaining (and often touching) family dynamic, with some great Silver Surfer/Galactus action to bring it all together.

Here’s a bit of H.E.R.B.I.E. for your feed.

Happy 50th to Jaws! One of those classics that never gets old (even though it’s getting old!). It was amazing to be able to create this licensed print with @wearefanattik.bsky.social a good few years ago now. Thanks to everyone who’s bought one and/or has said nice things about it over the years!

Loving making these HEROE5” x VILLAIN5” mini prints (which I give away with orders from my store). Which iconic (or cult classic) face-off do you think I should tackle next? Suggestions welcome.

Was a thrill to work with @cipictures.bsky.social on the cover art (and title treatment) for The Devil At Your Heels, a super enjoyable 1981 documentary about seasoned Canadian stunt driver Ken Carter, looking back at his career as he dreams and schemes to jump a mile over the St. Lawrence Seaway.

Loved working on this documentary cover art (and title treatment) for @cipictures.bsky.social!

Canadian International Pictures @cipictures.bsky.social · Jun 1

An epic journey to the heart of one man’s dangerous obsession, THE DEVIL AT YOUR HEELS tells the story of daredevil Ken Carter, an inspired (if overly ambitious) dreamer determined to achieve legend status – by jumping a car a mile. Preorder now: vinegarsyndrome.com/collections/...

Huge thanks to Katy Cowan for inviting me onto the @creativeboom.com podcast, which is out now. I hoped some of you might fancy checking it out, along with the extra follow-up episode, ‘The Spark’, which is a more lighthearted chat/Q&A, about everything from comic-cons to the time I met Tony Hart!

Happy 70th to The Muppets! Here’s a Monet-inspired piece I did for Drop Mag’s Film on Canvas book a few years ago, with artists reimagining film posters in the style of famous artists through history.
