When I pick two random films from my 'to watch' list, it's surprising how often they turn out to share a theme... here it was "what happens when you rat on a love rat?". Surprisingly it's the Loren, not the Rohmer, film where the answer is really grim. Both are excellent. #movies

I've been fascinated by @rewindtv.bsky.social's reruns of The Cut Price Comedy Show, feat. Roger Ruskin Spear (Bonzo Dog Band) and Stephanie Marrian (the first Page 3 girl). It's kinda terrible but also endearing. Mini-review here: houseofharley.net/the-cut-pric... #1980s #television #tv #comedy

Holly's headband 3: look out, it's the last of three pages of pencil studies. houseofharley.net/hollys-headb... #art #drawing #faces #women

Butthole Surfers - Live at the Leather Fly: recorded in the early '90s when the band were a few years past their classic studio album era. But on the evidence of this they could still ROCK live and conjure up bewildering moment-to-moment psychedelic mutations of familiar material. #buttholesurfers

Satisfied with feet: that's what these people have in common. From an October 2008 sketchbook post - see houseofharley.net/magazine-dra... for the rest. #art #drawing #sketchbooks #people #faces

The Hospital starring George C. Scott + Diana Rigg, with a script by Paddy Chayefsky (Network) - another superb Video Archives Podcast tip. An expose of medical malpractice, with dark reflections on suicide, civil unrest, and a serial killer whodunnit to boot. Unpredictable, engrossing. #movies

Stick with David: from the vaults, some life drawings from last year's Brewzine event. In this one, David appears to have three fingers, but it's not wonky AI, the fault is entirely mine. For more drawings of him and his fingers - see houseofharley.net/stick-with-d... #art #lifedrawing #men

Hold on hen: scratchy sketchbook folks from a Sept 2008 blog post. Reckon that's Jemima Khan striding towards us on the right. For more, see... houseofharley.net/magazine-ske... #art #drawing #sketchbooks #people #fashion #faces

Lunch Hour (1963): British 50s/60s dramas tend to be very literal, but this John Mortimer story of an affair between co-workers takes an unexpected turn when the cover story for their liaison becomes real, in their minds at least. Some psychological reality! #movies #cinema

Holly's headband 2: some mischievous expressions in this sketchbook update. houseofharley.net/hollys-headb... #art #drawing #sketchbooks #people #women #faces

Delighted that Hal introduced me to @thenickelcinema.bsky.social and the jaw-dropping shop attached to it. Programme reminds me of The Scala. Great to see Russ Meyer's Supervixens on the big screen (& 'super' loud too). Will be back for more. thenickel.co.uk #london #cinemas

Unresolved issues: there's lots of these in our latest sketchbook post. houseofharley.net/unresolved-i... #art #drawing #tension #issues #problems #resolution

Things look bleak for Windy Wilberforce in part 8 of @soundprojector.bsky.social's epic The Saga of the Scroll - he has been captured by Dr Fengele and is about to be used as fertiliser on Antgrim's farm. And just that's the start of his woes. All in Ugly Mug 8: houseofharley.net/uglymug8/ #comics

A little el weirdo: I tried out my new fountain pen at last year's El Weirdo Comic Fair. You may recognise some faces from the world of British independent comics. houseofharley.net/a-little-el-... #art #drawing #sketchbooks #sketching #people #faces #urbansketching #events #fountainpens

Lineup Leos: this astrological alignment was posted to the HoH blog back in August 2008. (Although Amy Winehouse was a Virgo, apparently). For more leonine sketches, see the whole post. houseofharley.net/magazine-ske... #art #drawing #sketchbooks #people #fashionillustration #starsigns #Leo

Let me through: this lady is heading in your direction, forcing her way through the furs & fabrics of the House of Harley textiles dept, and you’d better get out of the way. An original A4 HoH marker pen drawing. Only £20+p&p. houseofharley.net/let-me-throu... #art #originalart #pinupart #pinups

It takes a while to get used to Liam Neeson in the Drebin (Jr) role but this 'new version' of The Naked Gun delivers everything you want and expect from a Zucker-Abrahams-Zucker film. Even though it was made by someone else. Sight gags and daft laughs aplenty. #movies #nakedgun

Two stories by one of my favourite cartoonists, the late Chris Reynolds. Chris once told a mutual friend that he thought his own stories were hilarious. Never quite seen that, until this I read this @darkandgolden.bsky.social collection. Space burgers, animal's war. It all makes sense now. #comics

Weird progress: advances are being made in the House of Harley sketchbook, but of what kind and to what end? See link for the full scene, and let us know if you're any the wiser. houseofharley.net/weird-progre... #art #drawing #sketchbooks #fashion #future #fashionillustration #action #progress

Jungle Ruck: Julian Geek returns to the pages of Ugly Mug with an outrageous tale of hunger and frustration. This was the only panel suitable for social media. Wanna see the whole thing? See houseofharley.net/uglymug8/ for deets. #comics #undergroundcomix #monkeys #jungles

Hanging out: just some of the folks you can find doing nothing very much on the HoH blog. From August 2008. houseofharley.net/magazine-ske... #art #drawing #sketchbooks #people

OCCULTZ: on Saturday 6th September, the HoH will be selling comics to amuse and confuse, art books, affordable original art and much more at the Oxford Comics, Cult & Zine Fair. Hope to see you there. houseofharley.net/back-at-the-... #occultz #occult #comics #art #cult #events #oxford

Half Japanese: since Jad & co returned in 2014, they've been releasing albums faster than I can keep up. Inventive arrangements seem to come easy to this version of the band, but there's usually a couple standout tracks - here it's Step On Up and That's Fate. #music #halfjapanese #jadfair

Holly's headband 1: a page of pencil studies posted to the blog. houseofharley.net/hollys-headb... #art #drawing #pencildrawing #faces #women

Naked Knowledge 1: obscure facts collide with the world of pin-up art in this enticing HoH mini-comic. 12 pages, A4, colour cover, only £4+p&p. Limited edition of 20 copies, not many left. houseofharley.net/naked-knowle... #art ##comics #comix #undergroundcomix #adultcomics #burlesque #pinupart

Distemper tantrum: this digruntled demonic-looking feller found his way into a HoH sketchbook. More negative energy and some agitated owls on the blog... houseofharley.net/distemper-ta... #art #sketchbooks #drawing #fiends #devils #owls

Quentin Tarantino's tribute to the late Michael Madsen - I really enjoyed this. QT enthuses engagingly about some of Madsen's lesser known TV and movie performances, none of which I'd heard of. thenewbev.com/blog/2025/07... #movies #michaelmadsen
