New! Cassetteboy vs Keir Starmer. This took absolutely ages, so if you'd like to buy us a coffee at ko-fi.com/cassetteboy we'd really appreciate it. Thanks!

Suddenly reminded this morning of that time 10 years ago when I spent a whole year dicking around in the creative mode in Minecraft!! The ‘’Welchcraft’ block even had its own front door, candles, a toilet & permanent portal to the Nether!! And people say I don’t know how to party. #gamesky #gaming

“I mean, your society’s broken, so who should we blame? Should we blame the rich, powerful people who caused it? No let’s blame the people with no power & no money & these immigrants who don’t even have the vote, yeah it must be their fucking fault.” —Iain Banks www.theguardian.com/books/2013/j...

RIP Robert Redford. Did this illustration back in 2010 for a local cinema event. Robert left us with so many great movies. For me it’s Three Days of the Condor, All The Presidents Men, Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid plus I also have real soft spot for Sneakers (which no one seems to remember!!)

Still marvelling over this recent find in a local bookshop. A huge collection of old sci-fi paperbacks all with stickers from 2 of my favourite London comic shops of the past. So great to see stickers for Forbidden Planet (Denmark Street) & Dark They Were and Golden Eyed out in the wild once more.

This is a rather nice find. Searching through one of my Whole Earth Catalogues is an original advert for the 1st edition paperback version of Frank Herbert’s book, Dune. I wonder if I send off the $1.25 they’ll still honour the order? Worth a bit more than that these days methinks. 😂 #booksky

Another moment when the world casually reminds you that you’re literally living in the matrix now..!!

Let’s remember why we’re doing this: to transform society so that everyone can live in dignity. My interview with @tribunemagazine.bsky.social on the need for a real, democratic alternative. tribunemag.co.uk/2025/08/jere...

Hey Government, there are so many voices you are deaf to

Just verifying my age. The Bejam badge should be worthy of age verification alone!! Now where are those ice pops?

Love this! I’ve always loved old comics especially all the crazy adverts. This beauty is for Genuine Soil From Dracula’s Castle from an old Warren comic. However, thanks to the net, I can now look up what things like this actually looked like. Think the certificate is worth price of admission alone.

It's possible that no artist was more felicitously matched with an author than Charles Keeping with Alan Garner!

Autumn Leaves Took these in 2022 for reference purposes but like the way they came out. Just used a simple flip filter to create the symmetrical effect. #photography #foliage #leaves #naturephotography #gardens #art #artsky #bloomscrolling #autumn #fall #autumnleaves #outdoors #nature

I'm from before the Internet.

Wow! Absolute barnstormer of a set at Glastonbury. Gary Numan absolutely knocked it out ‘The Park’. Bloody brilliant!

I am building my own world. QRP with your world. #darkart #photography #gothichorror

Last night we welcomed Gary Numan for the first of his 3 sold-out shows! Gary is performing these very special shows to help us celebrate our 25th birthday! 🎈 📸 Mike Burnell

Random charity shop pick up. Very rarely see Archie comics in the UK. In all my years of collecting comics, despite always hearing about it, I don’t think I’ve ever actually read one. Not sure what to expect. Always thought Love & Rockets meets Happy Days maybe? Anyone else ever read them? #booksky

Random find out on the street this evening. A single page from an old comic strip. Lovely art. No idea what it is & there were no other pages. It’s British I think. I found it in a really quiet back road leading out of the village where I live. Anyone recognise the strip/book it’s from? #booksky

If you see this, post your getaway vehicle.

Larvae Just a few #digitalart/ #photography experiments from the last few days. Usual fair I’m afraid. Weird insects, plants etc. #art #artwork #darkart #abstract #surrealism #textureart #darkfantasy #darkartist #darksurrealism #digitalcollage #impressionism #artsky #insectart

Short video of my amazing vintage horror book haul I picked up a few weeks ago from my local free book depository. Finally got them all photographed. Still can’t believe I picked all these up in the wild and for free. #horror #horrorsky #horrorbooks #booksky #paperbacksfromhell

Remembering the good days of Twitter (long gone now sadly). 8 years ago today this happened. So cool to have official recognition of this piece. Had a nice brief chat with Reece afterwards too. #reecesheearsmith #stevepemberton #theleagueofgentlemen #insideno9 #artsky #comicart #caricatures

Always good to have new Numan material out there. Really loving the new Gary Numan and @ispeakmachine.bsky.social song out today. Great video too. www.youtube.com/watch?v=jN8x...

Up late watching an old episode of Rhubarb on RewindTV. Not seen it since I was a child. I’d completely forgotten how utterly bonkers this show was. This one was particularly crazy. Think the ‘Jacques Custard’ joke may have been lost on me when I was a nipper though. 😂 youtu.be/fHyrdH3sbWs?...

Persephone (Alt edit) Woke up this morning & decided to add antlers to this. This is just what happens when you wake up on a Sunday listening to the Cocteau Twins I guess. #art #illustration #darkart #artsky #horrorart #folkhorror #digitalart #surrealism #digitalcollage #textureart #natureart

Another one from my vintage horror book haul last week. Boris Karloff’s Tales of the Frightened anthology. I’ve heard of ‘book of the film’ before but ‘book of the record’ is a definitely a new one on me. #horror #horrorsky #horrorbooks #booksky #paperbacksfromhell

Another from my awesome horror book haul. Apparently this one is mega rare. Got told on a book forum its worth £70 online. Beginning to think Tuesday’s book haul might just be one of my luckiest finds ever. Looks like a fun read too. #horror #horrorsky #horrorbooks #booksky #paperbacksfromhell

Another beauty from my awesome horror book haul on Tuesday. Love trashy 70s Horror books like Worms by James Montague. Back cover blurb is classic too. Made me think of the Mighty Boosh song, ‘Eels’ for some reason. Wonderful stuff. #horror #horrorsky #horrorbooks #booksky #paperbacksfromhell

A few more examples of some of my pick ups from my horror book haul on Tuesday. So great to have an instant Robert Bloch collection now. Great covers too. Love the Woolworth’s 18p sticker on Chamber of Horrors. #horror #horrorsky #horrorbooks #booksky #paperbacksfromhell #psycho #robertbloch

A couple of closer looks at my horror book haul yesterday. Absolutely love these Fontana Horror anthologies. Is it just me or does the cover art on these have a slightly ‘1970s Cook Book’ vibe going on? #horror #horrorsky #horrorbooks #booksky #paperbacksfromhell

Genuinely blown away by my book haul today from my local free book exchange. Really did get some real beauties today. This will only be of interest to fellow horror fans I’m sure. Particularly adore the Pan Horror and Fontana Horror anthologies. #horror #horrorsky #horrorbooks #booksky #bookhaul

@battius.bsky.social Nice to see you on Blue Sky, Mr B. Hope all's well fella. 😀

Found some old art of mine recently. Still quite like these old Glitch pieces for some reason. #glitch #glitchartistscollective #digitalart #glitchaesthetic #psychedelicart #glitchart #glitchcore #computerart #abstractart #surrealism #darkart #surreal #distortion

Seen briefly in an episode of Look At Life about ships, circa 1964. I love it, but wtf is it? Any ideas?

For some reason I’m insanely pleased with this one. Finding an old photo album from the 1950s in a charity shop was amazing in itself but then deciding to add a 50s style UFO to one of those pics has been the icing on the cake. All for my own amusement of course but I needed cheering up this week.

The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner Awesome charity shop find yesterday. An album of old photos from the 1950s. Some are pretty great too. There’s something quite nicely bleak about this one. #foundphoto #charityshopfind #bleak #photography #vintagephoto #lifeinthepast #1950s #seaside

I even have a collection of photos of Pavements. Where I live they are lovely abstract compositions - .. I think 😎 The ‘here and now’ is a wonderful thing. An exercise in making oneself intensely aware of the ‘now’ .

WIP/Texture Experiments Had fun working on these yesterday evening. Quite like the way the aged effects have come out. #art #artwork #textureart #digitalart #digitalcollage #darkart #darkartist #impressionism #abstract #abstractart #abstracttextures #photography #darksurrealism #artsky
