I paint a fair amount of commissions, but I also do a lot of paintings for myself, simply because I enjoy it. Too many perhaps. These must go. To make room for more, of course (Apparently I have a painting problem). If interested in any, make an offer via private message.

My latest painting is a bit of horror-scifi-surrealism. “First Seen as Blur,” acrylic on 12” X 16” canvas panel. Besides selling these paintings I also license the image for book covers, album covers, etc.

Jack Palance’s infectiously robust Mr. Hyde, with Billie Whitelaw, in the excellent Dan Curtis TV production THE STRANGE CASE OF DR. JEKYLL AND MR. HYDE (1968). He looks a bit like early renditions of the Joker.

Hot off the easel, the latest in the Lost Skeleton Gallery of monster portraits, Version 3 of Skelly himself, acrylic on 12” X 16” canvas panel. This is the first one that wasn’t a commission, so this guy is available for purchase. Shoot me a message if interested.

Finished 1st season of THE GOLD, riveting account of '83 Brink’s-Mat robbery. Impressive deck of characters, terse Neil Forsyth’s script, gritty direction by Aneil Maria & Lawrence Gough. Cast is spot-on, especially magnetic Charlotte Spencer as DI Nicki Jennings, who sometimes resembles Diana Rigg.

A giant of cinema has left us. RIP Tatsuya Nakadai (1932 - 2025).

Yet another… Do pick up the two books I have of these if you haven’t already. Makes wonderful conversation over ironing or scaling fish. Or even ironing fish.

The wonderful Andrea King looking positively feral as she steals the terrific 1950 noir-procedural SOUTHSIDE 1-1000. Recently enjoyed courtesy of @eddiemuller.bsky.social’s Noir Alley on TCM.

Amazing to think that one or more of these can be on a wall close to you or someone you care about. How is that even possible? Make great presents for anyone that doesn’t have them. Make an offer via message. Clockwise from upper left “Floont” “Demmizen” “Ogtott” & “Elymyx,” each a lovely 12” X 16”

Ingrid Pitt & Soledad Miranda shake it but don’t break it in EL SONIDO DE LA MUERTE (SOUND OF HORROR), 1966
Yeah it’s an invisible human-sized dinosaur, but still surprisingly enjoyable, effective “compound/siege horror” like KILLER SHREWS, NIGHT OF THE BLOOD BEAST, ATTACK OF THE CRAB MONSTERS etc.

The 2004 THE ALAMO directed by John Lee Hancock bombed which is too bad since it's very much worth seeing, if for nothing else than to savor the thoughtful, measured, moving performance of Billy Bob Thornton as David Crockett. It's also the closest to actual events, with attention to authenticity.

The only drawback with these were that they broke so easily, so not too many have stood the test of time, even when sitting.

… when you would look at a movie poster and have no doubt that… THAT is a movie poster… RIP, the one, the only, Drew Struzan.
This is one of my favorites, and not just because I like the movie.

“When Laughed We Met” (1943) 86m. Jenny Anwell, Billy Basin, Dola Knight. A beloved vaudeville couple reminisce about their life together and specific pies they’ve thrown.

Today would have been the 115th birthday of the great Robert McKimson who is probably my favorite of the Looney Tunes geniuses, and that is certainly saying something. Flanked here by two of his creations, who are also two of my favorite LT characters. Cheers and appreciation, Mr. M.
