Cool. Now do the same to the rest of the royal family.

For any Lovecraftian Dagon worshippers near Hastings, there's a bronze statue of a "frog" holding up a "offering bowl" in one of the local antique shops. A snip at £245

Enter the infamous 118 118. Marketed by two moustachioed men in retro athletic wear, jogging through a cultural landscape that no longer required their service. These characters were pure hauntology: ghosts of a bygone era of certainty and legibility, now recycled into a loop of ironic repetition often parodying film sequences, and in some cases, even roping in guest appearances from the cultural icons themselves (Ray Parker Jnr as a bus conductor because why not?) They weren’t just marketing a phone number; they were performing a pastiche of collective memory because the service, they must have known, was ultimately redundant because of the spectre of Google on the horizon (which by then was already an established server of free information, albeit while tethered to desktop computer). Even some of their later adverts tried to posit them as ‘quicker’ than waiting for mobile data.

Wandering the streets of Brighthaven, the nearest thing #Hookland has to a holiday resort. Might get myself an Albion Pie...

A quick wander out in time to join the Hastings trans-rights demo (which a couple of fascism's useful idiots tried - and failed - to push into and disrupt), followed by a pint in the sun

Picked this up in a second-hand shop here in Hastings - it will probably appear as a prop in a photograph or drawing at some point

A Boxing Day wander down Albion Lane in #Hookland, spotting the car belonging to the rumoured local warlock near the ill-omened old toyshop, before stopping for a pint

Proportions for the pastry (I used double this for the pie pictured). And you need to get the water boiling away.
80g dairy free butter 160ml water 280g plain flour 1/2 tsp baking powder

I can confirm from experiments earlier today that Flora plant-based "butter" (available in most large supermarkets) makes a good hot water crust pastry which is fully vegan

“In the Dark Woods” is another photograph from my Acid Renaissance series. As always, no AI was used in the creation of this artwork, or in any of my artwork.

Two green figures are half-emerged from the darkness. They are draped in ivy and have twigs growing out of their fingers. Both are looking directly at you.

I am writing a little something about my Acid Renaissance series (not for my blog, this time)
A screenshot of text reading: "The series starts by dealing out a number of characters — archetypes, personifications, mythic and folkloric figures — as a type of major arcana, before presenting an optimistic glimpse of a future — a Bacchanalia beneath the Wind Turbines — then taking some guided tours around the perpetual night of the city of Osis, introducing some triptychs forming teasingly incomplete narratives, followed by a sojourn at the Court of Queen Mab…"

It's a free-for-all on #WyrdWednesday this week, so here is “A Haunting of Roses”, from my Acid Renaissance series of artwork. The mask/headdress took several weeks to make!

Giclée Prints of this and other pieces of my work available from shop.lazaruscorporation.co.uk/category/gic...
A figure’s head and shoulders are shown against an indistinct background. The figure’s head and top half of their face is covered with a mask/headdress made of faded pink, purple, white, and lavender roses. Some of the petals are covered with traces of cobwebs. The figure’s lips are painted red, and their skin is alabaster. They have further strings of flowers around their neck, hanging down over their chest, similarly covered in cobwebs.
