Here's a portrait of the great Dirk Benedict that I finished last week, just in time to meet him in Liverpool on Saturday and get an autographed copy! 🙂

Painted entirely in Photoshop - roughly 40 hours' work.

🧀🧀🧀HAPPY WORLD RAT DAY!!!🧀🧀🧀

(Yes, it's actually a thing.) For extremely silly reasons I won't go into, this is something we celebrate in our household, and each year I draw a card for it. Here's a few of them... 🐀

"Going My Way?" Another one done for Halloween a few years back, with a nod to classic pinups. 🎃

Would you pull over? 🤔

Sketching practice with coloured pencil. I always loved hearing Mr Lynch talk about the arts - he seemed to be someone who lived and breathed them, and just saw beauty everywhere.

I've always loved Alien - it's one of my all-time favourite films. So of course I was overjoyed when I heard that Tom Skerritt was visiting the UK, and did this portrait especially. It was wonderful to meet him.

My portrait of the great Tom Savini in his iconic role from From Dusk Till Dawn. I was over the moon last year when Robert Rodriguez shared this illustration on his social media accounts.

It's such a fun film. 🦇🦇🦇

Each year, I do a Halloween card to send out to friends and family. For me, Halloween's always about the more fun side of horror.

This was the first illustration I did (in 2007) that I felt was actually of a professional standard. Even now, I think it's still a decent image. It's based on the Amiga game Weird Dreams, by Herman Serrano and James Hutchby.

Everyone's favourite evil doll! 🔪

I first went to put a lightning strike as the background to this one, but realised it'd be too similar to an existing piece by @jasonedmistonart.bsky.social. I think the red splats work, though.

Always check behind the sofa before putting the scary movie on...

The squidgy lovecraftian thing was fun to draw. 😁

A tribute to the classic arcade game, Out Run. I did this one a while back - my style's changed a bit since, and I'd do a few things differently now, but it still seems quite popular with fans.

Here's one from a few years back. I think the first Tomb Raider was the one that had the biggest impact on me, and the lost valley section with the dinos was probably my favourite bit. 🦖
