Don't mind me, I'm just reposting some art so I can make it my pinned post...
My illustration for the cover of BEASTS IN THE CELLAR, detailing the film career of Tony Tenser, founder of the legendary Tigon British Film Productions. Written by John Hamilton and published by FAB Press, this was a true delight to work on. Mostly painted in Procreate and tweaked in Photoshop. My cover illustration for the personal memoir of legendary director and Master of Horror, Stuart Gordon. Published by FAB Press. This one was not only a treat to work on, but an honour. Made with Procreate on an iPad. A mock 1970s U.K. children's annual I created, based on the work of the government's Central Office of Information, whose notorious and often terrifying Public Information Films remain permanently imprinted on the minds of so many 20th century British kids. Painted in Procreate, with text and graphics added in Affinity Designer and Photoshop. Various bits and pieces I've been lucky enough to have the opportunity to create over the years for Bob Fischer's wonderful Haunted Generation project. All vectors created with Affinity Designer and other tinkering done in Photoshop.

I follow a lot of people on here who know an awful lot about the history and output of the Beeb. I think they should all collectively be given the DG job, it would work out great - even when there are very mild differences of opinion.

Very much up for exploring a gameworld that looks like it's straight out of the pages of late-70s Métal Hurlant.

Devoid of any human presence, the structures have been overtaken by nature.
Rhizomatic Compound is a narrative driven experience.

Thought I'd settle in for the evening with a nice thriller. Chose A House of Dynamite. Probably won't be sleeping properly for weeks now.

Love this - although I get a bit of a folk horror vibe from it, rather than anything cosy.

OK, this was a day early for Bonfire or Guy Fawkes Night in 1937 & I'm a day late but - it's always a good time to share the marvellous work of German artist, designer and teacher Ernst Aufseeser (1880 - 1940). Night & Day was a shortlived UK magazine. #illustration

Night & Day magazine cover ; 4 November 1937 : London, 1937 : artwork by Ernst Aufseeser. Night & Day was a short lived magazine, produced under the auspices of the Chatto & Windus publishing company, that appeared for only six months from July to December 1937. It was an attempt to mimic the "New Yorker" magazine here in the UK and as well as humerous articles and cartoons it contained a selection of 'pleasures and places' in London such as concerts, plays and exhibition listings. In its short life it attracted some fine cartoonists and artists. The cover was a day early for Guy Fawkes or Bonfire Night and I'm posting it, on 6 November, a day late! But this marvellous cover is by the German artist, designer and teacher Ernst Aufseeser (1880 - 1940). Aufseeser's main training was at the Steglitzer Werkstätten in Berlin but he also studied in London, including at the Slade, and spent time working in the UK. From 1919 he was Professor of Applied Arts and Commercial Graphics at the Düsseldorf Academy and, being of Jewish ancestory, he was dismissed from his post by the National Socialst regime in 1933. He died in Düsseldorf in 1940. His son was Hans Tisdall who spent his working life in the UK as a book illustrator and famous textile designer. It shows on a purple background agroup around a bonfire with a figure int he foreground lighting a match to set fire to it. A stick protrudes with a 'guy' wearing a jacket and hat. The figures include a well dressed couple to the left, a schoolchild with his back to the viewer and to the right a family group, a woman holding up a child to see the scene.

My illustrations for The Woman in Black are now available as signed giclee prints. You can view them on my website nicktankard.co.uk I’ll also be making the original illustrations available here on Bluesky, watch this space…The illustrations are in the hardback edition published by Vintage Classics.
A black and white printing ink and black pen illustration of a man driving a pony & trap towards a large dark house, the only source of illumination being a light by the doorway of the house and stars in the night sky. Spooky & atmospheric.

Would you look at that: a few minutes of me submitting to the artistry of Dave Elsey, as he recreates Phil Leakey's Creature make-up from THE CURSE OF FRANKENSTEIN (1957). I was lucky enough to receive a DVD of this film on my twelfth birthday. Little did I know what lay ahead...

What if *all* the missing Doctor Who came back though? I don’t think the NHS has the capacity to cope with that level of shock. Good job that’s never going to happen.

I don't want to share a link (even a Byline one) featuring Ketler and his rancid platform, but it speaks volumes for Labour's current progressive credentials that our Prime Minister's social media team isn't willing to switch or expand to using Bluesky but the leaders of the Lib Dems and Greens are.

The shocking knitting scandal rocking Shetland deserves more attention. It's got everything - Fair Isle tank tops, cutting, "peeries", needle lengths, yarn thickness, and most controversially, crochet. 🐑 🐑
I don't know what Tom Daley is looking so smug about.
