That does indeed look like a graveyard smash.

Yes, that's the face of someone with nothing to worry about.

My brain any time I'm buying cheese:

Might have a full-on mid-life crisis moment and get the logo for the 1990 DOS game SATAN tattooed across my chest.

"I've been having a lot of migraines recently. I should play Vampire Survivors again." two concurrent thoughts from me, a sensible adult.

Today's linoprint, just in time for Halloween: "Final Girl," A4.

As it's Halloween, it's time once again to share one of my favourite things - the tagline on this advert for the official Alien Nostromo cap.

News Flash: It's Halloween!

Say what you will about TerrorVision, but I think we can all agree more movies should feature Cyndi Lauper-esque 80s punks wielding tommyguns.

Today's painting: "Zaku II," acrylic on canvas board, 11" x 14".

Listening to "Clowntown" by They Might be Giants and imagining it as a Thomas Ligotti story: www.youtube.com/watch?v=36dA...

It's Halloween time, I've got a couple of days off work, current mood is: www.youtube.com/watch?v=GAOd...

I'm going to guess the certain things he's passionate about include "destroying all vampires."

Goddammit, not again.

Folmarv: We have his sister, and our plan is almost complete. Ramza Beoulve will surely come to face us soon. What do our spies say of his movements? Loffrey: He's breeding pigs. Folmarv: What. Loffrey: He's catching pigs and breeding them. Loffrey: Oh, now he's killing all the pigs.

Had a lovely afternoon making stickers with my niece, although she wouldn't accept that her clown (top left) was better than mine despite that clearly being true.

ALL NEW ART! PSWAP #82 - SUPER CASTLEVANIA IV (1991, SNES) art and concept by your pal Rusty

Sure, Belial on the Amiga is a cheap knock-off of Ghosts 'n Goblins, but it has floating jack o'lanterns in it so who can say which is the better game?

Any time I'm feeling particularly down, I think of the Garfield mask fight scene from Love on Delivery. That usually helps.

Alright, Ghostbusters II for the Atari ST, settle down. You'll upset the slime.

"Doctor, please help me, I have been stricken by a strange and terrible condition known as..."

What a coincidence, I am also a bizzare zombie from the edge of insanity, pleased to meet you.

Today's painting: "M Sees Through Her Hair," acrylic on paper, 40cm x 30. I got a bag of random paints from the charity shop so just trying to figure out what they are, what's transparent etc.

Some words of wisdom from arcade fighter Master's Fury.

Today's linoprint: Trick or Treat

Note to self, gotta play some Ghost Castle over the weekend. Skull glows in the dark!

ALL NEW ART! PSWAP #81 - ZOMBIES ATE MY NEIGHBORS (1993, SNES/GEN) art and concept by your pal Rusty

Cool live-action art from the manual for PC Engine SuperGrafx game Aldynes.

Same.

This should be mandatory for all products.

They sentenced me to five years because I was looking everywhere for my headphones, which were hanging around my neck.

Found this cool puzzle box in the charity shop today, might try to open it later.

It's not really October until you've seen a sweaty Jeffrey Combs.

Don't worry, Mungle is here.

More like Everybody's Goth.

Who's my favourite band? It's gotta be the Godzilla Plushie Rock 'n' Roll Experience.

Today's painting: acrylic on paper, 30 x 40cm.

Me, currently:

Sometime you gotta hit 'em with the Gunge Lance.

An all-time great title screen:

Late at night, struggling to sleep, a dark thought comes to me: Eraserhead Baby Funko Pop.

Are you up to date on the current Steve Conditions? You've got to put your ball into his mouth.

Oh. Wish he hadn't.

It's nearly that time of year...

Today's painting practise

8 years ago says da web

a precious object i've had for many many years (i think it was a preorder bonus with Minna Daisuki Katamari Damacy?) it's a cellphone charm and the Prince's antenna was supposed to flash red when you got a call, but it never worked on my phone... the prince never came alive ....
