The things that kept this geek going this year. Much respect to my fellow human artists, writers, musicians, creatives in general. Keep doing your thing. Not you, botlickers. Not you.

I did this late last night, slept on it and still want to post it. So here goes. It'll be on stuff on the redbubble if ya want it on stuff. Click the link in my bio.

Right-o, Chrimbo is breathing down our necks so here are my Christmas Tee design offerings. Hit the link in my bio. Teesbydug for NZ, Redbubble for elsewhere in the world. If you're having trouble finding it hit me up in a DM and I'll dig out the link.

I wish Temu would leave me alone. Yeah, I ordered some stuff off of you for my Halloween costume. That doesn't mean I'm in for your weird gamification of capitalism bollocks. Quit emailing me.

I've seen Deathgasm 2: Gormageddon, We Bury the Dead and Primate this week thanks to @terrorfifest and I have reviewed em all on my Letterboxd right here - boxd.it/gTRd

Have you ever found a big, misshapen mole on your arm and thought, “Well, that doesn’t look good,” only to realize, on closer inspection, that it’s just a flake of chocolate you dropped on your arm in the car hours earlier that melted onto your skin? No... Me neither.

I don't know if I dole out 5 star ratings too easily or it's just been that good of a year for movies. I gave Predator: Badlands 5 stars but it still sits at number 12 on my movies of the year.

How's Luxon's war on road cones going?... from the look of Auckland's streets I'd say he's losing

How has Yorgos churned out four feature-length movies in about two years, and I'm still waiting on Panos Cosmatos' follow-up to Mandy (2018)?... Anyway here's my Letterboxd review for Bugonia (2025) boxd.it/bzmRPN

My band Doomscroll are playing a Halloween gig at Big Fan in Morningside tonight. Dressing up and everything. You should come... yeah, you. 🎃

I felt like drawing and then I thought of doing a Frank from Donnie Darko Labubu. I'm sure it's been done but I didn't bother googling first because I just felt like drawing something.

This is how strong of a year for horror 2025 is - Black Phone 2 was really good and it doesn't even crack my top 10 movies of the year.

I spent as much time on this as the concept deserved... so like half an hour. #tron #tronares #stupidsexyflanders

Ok I binged all of Monster: Ed Gein and here is my review: Whacky, completely inaccurate and ridiculous but... as a horror fan rather than a true crime nut I actually really enjoyed it. I did Google "Did Ed Gein really *blank*" quite a lot though to be fair.

Giving Ed Gein a girlfriend who is completely down with all the weird shit he does is an odd move I don't quite understand in a show full of odd moves I don't quite understand.

At the risk of you people saying - "alright Grandad" the Dark Side of the Moon thing they're playing on the dome at Stardome is Rad. I'd pay the 25 bucks just to hear the album played that loud to be fair but the visuals are pretty sweet too. Even without any psychedelics in ya system.

Happy Birthday @stephenking.bsky.social here's a birthday doodle for ya.

A xenomorph design I have. It's called Jonesy and is available on my redbubble via the link in my bio

Stand up for something, Disney. You don't need to own everything. In fact, we'd all prefer you dont.

Happy Mandy-versary. On this day back in 2018 my favourite movie was released, and my obsession began. I really can't wait for whatever Panis Cosmatos does next and haven't we waited long enough? #mandymovie #SpectreVision #nicholascage #cosmicdarkne

The choice to make The Long Walk (2025) a smidge less bleak and grueling by mixing in a dollop of Stand By Me/ The Body was a very good idea if you ask me. Take the edge off of Richard Bachman with a little Stephen King 👌 And yes, I'm aware they're the same person, nerds.

March for humanity Auckland

It's okay to criticize the dead. Them being dead doesn't automatically make them a saint or worthy of praise.

I wasn't expecting The Long Walk to instantly jump in to my top 5 movies of the year but here we are...

My hatred for Spotify grows daily, yet I still use it. When the new band has tracks ready, we will pretty much have to put them up on that poxy platform because it's the only one that anyone uses. So yes, I am a hypocrite but... #fuckspotify

I probably shouldn't have woken up and immediately watched multiple angles of a dude getting shot in the neck on Twitter... that was probably a bad idea.

Whoever wins we...win? #alienearth #fanart #xenomorph #alien #tocellus

I felt like drawing something, and since it's new Alien: Earth episode day, I figured I'd draw everyone's new favorite alien, T. Ocellus and their current host. #alienearth #fanart #tocellus #noahhawley

I know that it is proper in an acronym to capitalise all letters but I just refuse to do it out of spite for Ai. It's not capital 'I' intelligence.

I am so happy that Alien: Earth is good. Alien/ Predator fans are eating good lately. Bless you Noah Hawley.

To all those putting Weapons and Pulp Fiction together have you considered it was actually more like Paul Thomas Anderson's Magnolia?

The Void Crop Tee by me. Expertly modeled by @maddisonpower.fx on insta teesbydug.printmighty.co.nz/products/the...

I call this triptych "Total Luxon Recall" because our current Prime Minister Christopher Luxon has no good ideas. It was set up for Instagram but it can go here too.

Seeing as Judge Dredd is back in the zeitgeist. Here's a tee design I have available *winks atcha* teesbydug.printmighty.co.nz/products/exi...

Remember when Trump was shot at and then never mentioned it ever again... that was weird huh?

I'm not wearing my glasses anymore, I've seen enough.

I could easily keep going back. There have always been original horror movies amongst all the franchise stuff if you care to look. Original horror is sooo back

To commemorate the end of Black Sabbath here are many of the times the band made me draw. Many of them became T-shirts. Hit me up if you want any of em and I'll dig out the link for ya. #blacksabbath #backtothebeginning #obeytheriff

I've been dipping back in to X-Files recently. Here's a Spooky Mulder tee by me. It's available on teesbydug and redbubble via the link in my bio. #teesbydug #mulder #xfiles #teedesign #Spooky

What's your favourite dinosaur? 🦕 Carmel Newall has a Clever Girl crop tee by me. Hit the link below if you'd like one too. teesbydug.printmighty.co.nz/products/cle...

Today's lunchtime doodle is titled "Warpig"

Bring Her Back (2025) Go see it... the cat is fine, I swear.

About 20 years ago I met a filmmaker called Rajneel Singh at a 48Hours film competition event. A couple of weeks ago I learned something important and who he really was. I've written for Webworm about the real Rajneel Singh, thanks to those closest to him.

"Everyone is a poser except me" - a tee by me teesbydug.printmighty.co.nz/products/poser

This tee by me is called My Chemical Rufio and is available on teesbydug and redbubble via the link in my bio.... Bangarang. #teesbydug #emo #rufio #mychemicalromance #peterpan #hook #90skid

It's a new tee by me... I'm quite anti-capitalist these days for some reason. The Revolt Tarot is available on a variety of different things for purchase on teesbydug and redbubble via the link in my bio... I'm aware of the irony. #anticapitalism #revolution #eattherich

I asked Ai an important question and it pretty much said I should be a plumber or a firefighter because robots can't do that shit yet... happy Monday everyone...

This is one is for the elder millennial Aqua Teen Hunger Force fans and is available on teesbydug and redbubble via the link in my bio. #teesbydug #athf #eldermillenial #dankmemes

In some ways, ai is great cause it allows right wing parties to tell on themselves. FYI the good guys were the Jedi, not sure how yall missed that 🤦
