Artist, Creator, writer of things, wrote some cartoon shows in a past life.
Many portraits to show, some have a social point.
Come step into my mind and see what happens when an artist bites the big one.
Silence isn't as golden as they say it is.

The Ozzy Bull all active, I'm never sure of the timing of him doing this but his eye light up, head turns and mouth opens.
"I've got so much in common with that bull. Full of metal. Can't walk anymore. Still drawing a crowd and has a screw loose in it's head."
Every visit to Brum you see Ozzy

There's greater joy in the 80 minutes running time of The Green Slime than I've experienced with a lot of modern films. It may have carboard outer space backgrounds and a low budget but the effects are like a combination of Gerry Anderson and classic era Dr. Who

You mean these Katamari Damacy games?
Once Upon a Katamari is a new one, I've just rolled up dinosaurs and now you've got to hunt for three crowns per level.

Since 2015 I've created my own #ChristmasCards using the portraits I draw. It's an ongoing thing.
Card 4 is #DieHard but I've decided to swap it out for an iconic scene that's currently being worked on right now.
Proving it's not #Christmas until #HansGruber falls of the #NakatomiPlaza

As much as I like Propstore it breaks my heart to see iconic costumes, props and art up for sale. They should be in museums not held in a private collection that never sees the light of day.
Bought the book at auction to protect it. Once owned by Olivia de Havilland. Signed by Ruth Gordon.

Y'know that moment when you thought you had all The Blues Brothers albums and someone sneaks out a new one? AND it's on clear blue vinyl... AND they're all live recordings.
That was today.

You know those annoying people who say "I'm not sending #Christmas cards this year" and you end up looking at bare walls remembering a past where they were everywhere and you're now wondering if anyone loves you. F-'em!

Don't ever think charismatic power and getting people to do bad things hasn't been done before.
What captivates me about this era is how they feared "witches" and not the ones pointing the finger or those committing heinous acts. It's still happening.

And the #Ozzy portrait continues... pretty much in the dark because of cloud. I work in natural daylight only, winter is a challenge.
OK, so there's now a plan with this book and it will lead me to new #portraits next year.

Filmed this afternoon after a marathon session of drawing Ozzy's hand.
It's working but cloudy days and dwindling light hamper progress. Also, hands are not fun to draw but this is for a personal book cover project.

And a new #portrait takes shape although this one ain't easy!
Yes, I'm drawing #Ozzy again, the reason is I'm creating a book based on my music portraits and I need to show work in progress. I didn't take photos along the way of the last four #OzzyOsbourne portraits I drew over the summer. #Art

A house on the street where I live (UK) had a tree up just before Halloween.
There's too many who just leave their decorations up on the outside of their house all year. They're not switched on, they just don't take them down.
Also, this. Three years that was up in the "town" It was once alive.

Thoughts: If slasher films are an allegory of real world events and films such as Saw and Hostel happened as a direct result of what was happening in the real world. When are we getting the horror version of an insane leader, morons in red hats and evil cops?

Sending a huge amount of respect and thanks to @realgdt.bsky.social for adapting Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. Just returned home from the cinema.
Liked the subtle nod to Elsa's Bride costume with Elizabeth's wedding dress.
The portrait of Colin Clive? That took 6 days to draw by hand in pencil.

Chances are you've never seen Paperhouse, it was a pretty quiet film when it was released in 1988
First off, there's a young girl as a lead, she's lonely and she finds solace in a young ill boy who she visits in a dream world she draws.
Not technically horror but a dark fantasy.

#Halloween #Ghostie says something naughty and if you can't say it with words, use your hands. I'd say he's got a potty mouth but I don't think he can speak.
A model I bought last year that now has pride of place on a book shelf. I still aim to paint him in glow in the dark paint.

Sometimes you've just got to watch the Halloween classics even if it means getting an expensive Blu Ray player that runs locked Region A
America did Halloween better than the UK in the 1970's so the first time I saw this classic was last year on this disc.
