There’s a bigger and longer story regarding this print that I’ll bore you with later , but I wanted to share this much because it’s the first time I’ve been able to get a print texture to mesh so hard with the original design, and it looks so good.
Right, then. Carry on.
Right, then. Carry on.

A friend of mine once dated a Hollywood hairdresser who had Udo Kier as a client. When he was asked about appearing in Madonna’s SEX book, he said (and please say this in your head with his German accent) “She has the most well manicured vagina I’ve ever seen.” RIP Udo

From last night’s screening of @realgdt ‘s FRANKENSTEIN at Playhouse Cinema.
100 percent sold out, with illustrator (and fellow Hamiltonian) Geordie Millar discussing his work for Victor’s journals.
Magic to see up close, as Geordie spoke on the creative process to an eager audience.
Great night.

Another trip to Toronto, another round of medical poking and prodding.
So I’m sculpting a foot on the train.
It’s a foot. Don’t know what else to say.

Posts like this make me wonder if I truly do live in an alternate reality, because if every streaming movie looks like Guillermo Del Toro's Frankenstein then we are truly living in a golden age of beautiful gothic masterpieces imo. 😂
Send me all the movies that look like Frankenstein, please. 👍

"What if one of YOUR favorite politicians/celebrities/etc is on the list?" Did you all not notice how quickly we dropped Neil Gaiman when we found out about the things he did? Do you know how beloved that guy used to be and how loathed he is now? I think that right there should answer your question.

Today’s rewatch.
Both the story and film changed me in ways I’m still feeling today.
A wonderful, sincere and moving cinematic gift.
