I am so glad that when I became a full-time art guy, I made the decision to create a personal website. It's now quite out of date and in dire need of an update, which I don't know how to do. lukeoram.com

It's a great drawing because it captures how attractive O'Hara could be, as well as the persona of this character.

Sorry to hear about Catherine O'Hara. Always enjoyed her in movies. :(

I donate time to helping a local DIY extreme/experimental music event (EGGFEST) with art. Craig, who runs it, is a top chap. He's selling these to help cover the costs, with any profit going towards a friend's transition costs. Please check it out! eggytapes.co.uk/product-cate... #music #metal

I'm interested in communications that don't depend on US capital or state infrastructure, so I downloaded Dorsey's Bit Chat. Thirty seconds into looking at the Bristol regional chat I'm seeing guys spamming swastikas and hither ASCII art. Abyssal.

My personal theory is that the scene where Audrey and Cooper have that last, mature, heart to heart and later a sweet (but platonic) dance... Is the last time we see Audrey. She leaves then to see the world and solve its mysteries. The other Audrey we see after is a tulpa.

Hey there #portfolioday people! I'm Luke, an artist who works a lot making illustrations for album covers, book covers, etc. Sometimes concept for games. I use digital, trad, and stages in-between. lukeoram.com

Really good stuff from Adam and co, as I have come to expect.

No Country for Old Men

"it so crazy the racist has a brown wife" no he also hates women and doesn't think his brown wife is a human person with thoughts.

The past few days I've been thinking about this 1943 watercolor—Untitled (Police Beating)—by Norman Lewis. What's striking is not only depiction of violence, a subject for many Black artists, but also onlooker responding gleefully: recognition there will always be those who exult in state violence

“Fuck ICE!” chants & a brass band performing “Which side are you on?” as hundreds march in Manhattan, NYC against ICE and in solidarity with Minneapolis.

If we've moved on from 'George Floyd wasn't a good guy - he had a criminal record' to 'Well she did bump him with her car, so she deserved to be shot in the head' .. that's degeneracy. That's actual degeneration of a society, and that degeneracy has been a product, brought to you by fascism.

NEWS: In a heartbreaking video, after ICE shot and killed a woman in Minneapolis, a woman who was in the same SUV cries out: “They killed my wife. I don’t know what to do." “We stopped to videotape, and they shot her in the head,” the distraught woman sobs. www.advocate.com/news/minneso...

CONDUIT I Some personal SF work. I'd love to do more of the same. #scifi #sci-fi #space #art #artsky #spaceopera #painting #spaceship

I'm totally against the new UK censorship rubbish. But BOY has it brought out the American exceptionalists.

Over the holiday break I have watched the camp soap opera/hyperviolent homoerotic prison drama OZ. Utterly insane show. Remarkable.

the results are in:

Watching a movie about a lonely heart who comes out of their shell to form a found family with an unlikely group of strangers. That’s right, Alien (1979) is a Christmas movie

I have not had the best year financially, but you should support this fine project.

Sad to announce that I have once again failed to secure victory in the war against christmas.

I live fairly close to Avebury. A wonderful place.

Similarly I never worked for Critical Reflex, however I *did* work for Dread XP under Hentschke. I was not the target of harassment, probably because I am a middle-aged man. However I did experience: Incompetent business practices. Not being paid properly and on time. mistreatment of staff.

I honestly think this year I have done some of my best painting work. I wish that was reflected outside of my own thoughts, but there are bigger problems in the world eh. Let's hope 26 is better in some way.

HIDDEN DEMO TAPES OF THE HUMAN RACE I painted this next installment for #eggfest in homage to both the #BrucePennington classic illustration and the #bloodincantation album it was later used for.

Childhood encounter with Nemesis the Warlock in the pages of an early-80s 2000ad while mum was in WHSmiths. Was before I could read.

wonderful drawing

Not watching the game awards because I am resentful toward all industries, including games specifically.

Let's say I want to make a time-lapse of something I'm painting in photoshop. What's the best method? #art #painting #photoshop #help

COVERDRIVE is a small zine I made, all about how to make an album cover. I have some physical copies, and you can download it in pdf form here: lukeoram.itch.io/coverdrive #art #albumcover #guide #howto #doit #zine

It's bandcamp friday why not obtain this split record we did with some friends: #music #punk #hardcore #grindcore #noise #dadrock atomck.bandcamp.com/album/thumbs...

It's 2 am and I am laughing my head off at a guy who's name, via the transformative power of UK slang, means "Jizz Porn".

Recently I wrote an RPG adventure for the sci-fi game MOTHERSHIP. Chuffed to be awarded a Jury prize from the TripTech² game jam. It's a liminal space puzzle maze, escape reality collapses. partial-object.itch.io/a-nightmare-... #mothership #rpg #triptech2 #scifi #spooky

Introduce yourself with 5 concerts you've seen: 1. Tom Waits 2. Insect Warfare 3. Warhead 4. King Crimson 5. Nothing Clean (final gig, house show)

Top stuff.

I have literally zero valuable skills other than art (and that value is highly debatable) as well as being functionally unemployable.

Tonight I finished a rewatch of TWIN PEAKS, including the return which I had not previously seen. It is incredible to me that something like that got made at all 25 years later, let alone be made with the remarkable quality that it has.

Short clip of Paris gig my band played on our recent tour: www.youtube.com/watch?v=47E1... #grindcore #hardcore #riffs #blastbeats

I love her.

My name's Luke, I'm an artist from the UK. Here's some recent work which has focussed on sci-fi/ retro stuff/ things I wanted to work in when I was a child. #art #artsky #illustration #scifi
