This is such a good thread about my favourite film #Highlander

@fabthepodcast.bsky.social I’m scheduled to visit Amsterdam in March, any recs on things to do? (If you’ve been, of course.)

Had a go at sketching Hard Case Crime cover model Tabitha Lyons. Hope she doesn’t hate it! @hardcasecrime.bsky.social

I have an essay in this - coming later in 2025!

The hardback of my #Highlander book is only £1 in the Waterstones clearance sale! Perfect Christmas present…

@fabthepodcast.bsky.social Contractor: What’s this sign that says ‘Thunderbird 1 Launch Bay for?’ Jeff:

You'll Like It When You Get There by Rhys James

I baked a cake. Took a couple of days, mind.

@wheezingpod.bsky.social Just listening to Death to the Daleks, did anyone ever make fan art of the ‘male Dalek in prison looking at poster of female Dalek’ situation?

Still getting back into the swing of things re painting but thought in the meantime I’d share a little piece I’m quite proud of. #artistsofbluesky #artonbluesky #pencilart

@felixfrazer.bsky.social Interested to hear what your Empire of Death bugbear was? (I didn’t want to reply to your post directly as Scott Handcock was tagged in it)

It’s been literal years but I’m finally dipping my toes back in the water of creative writing with my review of Scott Handcock’s Empire of Death Target novelisation: thedoctorwhocompanion.com/2025/07/19/r...

@garybrannan.bsky.social Are you reading the Brian Clemens archive features in SFX? Last month they had his idea for a Who episode and this month they’ve featured his ideas for Bond projects. Seems like the sort of thing that would be up your street!

@tobyhadoke.bsky.social Somebody asked on Reddit, do you know whatever happened to the actor Peter Fraser who played David Campbell in Dalek Invasion of Earth? (The commenter mentioned you by name as someone who might know.)

Turns out at least 350 people are as nerdy as I am! For the uninitiated, last night I found 29 behind the scenes photos from the first Highlander film. I posted this on the Highlander Heart Facebook group and the likes/joyful comments just keep pouring in!

Scumbag behaviour from Showmasters here.

@laserdiscturtle.bsky.social Got something here that might interest you… ebay.us/m/y97Tac (Note it doesn’t contain a film reel)

So strapped for cash at the moment I think it’s time to do a variant of Onlyfans where I threaten to send people nude photos unless they pay me

@jonmelville.bsky.social A Kind of Magic is £3 at Amazon for hardcover! Hell of a bargain amzn.eu/d/iE4vFBV

Calling time on the current painting (since it’s blocking me from doing other things and I can’t be arsed anymore). Having said that, I’m pretty pleased with the way Thunderbird 2 came out.

“Bevs”, Scott Varnham 2025. I’ve really come around on rum from this time last year. Big fan of Kraken now, especially the caramel flavour. The bar is the Generator Hostel in Miami.

It’s a painting, but possibly not the one you were expecting… Acrylic on canvas panel, 25.5 by 31cm. Scott Varnham 2025

@garybrannan.bsky.social Had to send this to my brother for his birthday… #TechDif

By the laws of supply and demand, AI art is going to be low value once the newness wears off and I think analog art is going to rise in value. AI isn’t going to replace artists, it’s going to replace clip art.

Inspired by re-reading the magnificent ‘Cover Me’ by Colin Larkin, here’s my take on a Pan Paperback Bond cover that never was. #acrylicpainting #jamesbond #artistsofbluesky

@swmoff.bsky.social maybe you can clear up something that’s been bugging me for years: who is the voice in the TARDIS supposed to be at the end of Pandorica Opens? youtu.be/SvrbSKsMVTw?...

This commission is finally out of the way! ‘Quiz Night at the Royal Oak, Bath’.

This cover kicks some serious ass

Thrilled to bits with my Highlander prop replica, thanks to Mr Weber!

@wellesbourne.bsky.social Apologies for not making it this week, only just out of deadline at work!

@lalalandrecords.bsky.social don’t know if you guys take requests but I’d love to see a proper release of Michael Kamen’s Highlander score!

Fun fact: if you're buying from a creator on etsy, you can reduce their etsy selling fees from 6.5% to 2.5% by ordering via 'shopname.etsy.com' instead of 'etsy.com/shopname' or searching from the main site. It costs you the same but the creator makes more

Hiiiiiiiii #letraset

Surprised to learn my mate thinks Raiders of the Lost Ark is ‘kinda boring’. RAIDERS.

@wellesbourne.bsky.social Hi, when’s your next beginner’s course?

I’ve had a hell of a 2024 when it comes to artwork, producing things that I didn’t think I could do when I started in late 2022!

The weirdest part of any Christmas song is when Paul McCartney goes ‘The choir of children sing their song, they practised ALL YEAR long’ and then it turns out it’s just them saying ‘ding dong’ a few times

Very strong explanation of what was going on in #DoctorWho "73 Yards". @cooraysmith.bsky.social's theory rings true to me. buttondown.com/cooray_smith...
