There will never, ever be anyone like him ever again. Profoundly brilliant artist on so many levels. I think Eraserhead, Blue Velvet, Mullholland Drive and Lost Highway are masterpieces of cinema. It’s a huge loss, we’ve lost one of the true greats 🖤🖤🖤

The film version of Shawshank Redemption is 30 years old. Here are some drawings I made inside copies of the PS publishing edition of Different Seasons by @stephenking.bsky.social What an honour it was to work on

I genuinely don’t think I’ve looked forward to a film this much in years. In two minutes I can see nods to Carl Theodor Dreyer’s Vampyr, Herzog’s 1979 adaptation and the paintings of Casper David Fredrich. I’ve loved everything from Eggers upto now and this looks cinematically sublime

Hot on the Heels of Dark Gods, comes Reassuring Tales from Chiroptera Press. Delighted to have produced the Jacket and interior illustrations for this title. I’m a huge fan of T.E.D Klein and this was awesome project to work on. The Events at Porath Farm is a masterpiece

What a gloriously, gaudy decadent sex fest ‘Taste the Blood of Dracula’ is. Made doubly brilliant by John Carson’s ever wonderful presence and Ralph Bates’s OTT lunacy is another high point

I just brought some soldier Lichen back from Gisburn Forest to put in my terrarium and was really chuffed. My girlfriend just said that I’ve literally just walked in a potential Lovecraftian nightmare having just wantonly disturbed the natural order of things.

Just about to start watching this UK adaptation of Poe’s The Tell Tale Heart, 1960 screenplay by the brilliant Brian Clemens of Avengers and Thriller fame. Has anyone seen it!? I had no idea it existed until now!

This is fun, a new place to hang out with my fellow oddballs! Here’s a LP cover I did for Cadabra Records for the Lovecraftian tale of terror ‘A Gentleman from Mexico’ by Mark Samuels.
