This was awfully good. Thanks to @mjpcuervo.bsky.social for letting me know about it!

Not long now…

The original POE artwork is now available to buy! www.nepenthepress.co.uk/category/all...

Book mail from Chiroptera Press with art by @elijohn.bsky.social It is a fantastic edition, and I believe a few just became available directly.

ABSOLUTELY MIND BLOWN!! If you loved Nosferatu, here is The Tell Tale Heart, short film by Eggers. I didn’t even know it existed and came across it whilst researching illustrations for Poe , and it’s an absolute gift. You’re welcome m.youtube.com/watch?v=b0zc...

Absolutely sublime 💛💛💛

There will never, ever be anyone like him ever again. Profoundly brilliant artist on so many levels. I think Eraserhead, Blue Velvet, Mullholland Drive and Lost Highway are masterpieces of cinema. It’s a huge loss, we’ve lost one of the true greats 🖤🖤🖤

Artwork Reveal for POE

Really enjoying Charlie Cooper’s Myth Country!

Wishing you all I Merry Christmas! 🎄 🥳 🎁

The film version of Shawshank Redemption is 30 years old. Here are some drawings I made inside copies of the PS publishing edition of Different Seasons by @stephenking.bsky.social What an honour it was to work on

I genuinely don’t think I’ve looked forward to a film this much in years. In two minutes I can see nods to Carl Theodor Dreyer’s Vampyr, Herzog’s 1979 adaptation and the paintings of Casper David Fredrich. I’ve loved everything from Eggers upto now and this looks cinematically sublime

Winona as Jo in Little Women, that is all ❤️

I thought I’d share with you my lettered copy of Different Seasons by Stephen King. This is a big moment for me seeing my signature next to Stephen’s, King got number 1 and I got number 2. It’s full leather bound by Blissetts of London is soft midnight blue calf. Blown away 😭💙

Hot on the Heels of Dark Gods, comes Reassuring Tales from Chiroptera Press. Delighted to have produced the Jacket and interior illustrations for this title. I’m a huge fan of T.E.D Klein and this was awesome project to work on. The Events at Porath Farm is a masterpiece

What a gloriously, gaudy decadent sex fest ‘Taste the Blood of Dracula’ is. Made doubly brilliant by John Carson’s ever wonderful presence and Ralph Bates’s OTT lunacy is another high point

The Fall of the House of Usher coming off the press at Nomad Letterpress is so exciting!! Set by hand in monotype. It’s a professional high point for me and @nepenthepress.bsky.social first letterpress title! Eeek

Goes live at 5pm today!!!

I just brought some soldier Lichen back from Gisburn Forest to put in my terrarium and was really chuffed. My girlfriend just said that I’ve literally just walked in a potential Lovecraftian nightmare having just wantonly disturbed the natural order of things.

Super excited to be a guest at next years first KingCon in Las Vegas!

Tis a small, white, ghostly pumpkin 😁

Sadly true, yawn yawn yawn

Just about to start watching this UK adaptation of Poe’s The Tell Tale Heart, 1960 screenplay by the brilliant Brian Clemens of Avengers and Thriller fame. Has anyone seen it!? I had no idea it existed until now!

Small drawing of the Marston House from Salem’s Lot, this is for someone’s bespoke rebind of the first US edition, I’m doing one of Barlow too for the tray case
