The Wolfman




























Sometimes the old films should just be left alone.
Ok, the transformation sequence in the original Wolfman might not look amazing and the acting is a bit ropey, but it's all those endearing elements that make some films classics. I watched the updated version of The Wolfman, and although it's an impressive film with a great cast I didn't care about a single character in the story. The film makers just seemed to want to bombard you with amazing visuals that overpower everything else and leave you feeling empty when the credits roll.

The Twins















The Twins see the beginning and end of time simultaneously, forever aware that they cannot alter the chain of events that unfold before their ever watchful eyes.

This print is an open ended edition and I will produce a few different colour runs of it in the near future.

As always I appreciate peoples comments.

Thanks for tuning in.

ROST

On the small island of Guernsey lives the record collecting mud wrestling head of the Readerswives Collective, his name is ROST. I have known him for many years and under the many different names he goes by, he has always fought tooth and nail to create an art scene on the island, and welcomes in anyone who would like to contribute. Think of him as Guernseys very own Fagin of the art world.
Anyway, i'm being side tracked. ROST has a new blog for your viewing pleasure, I won't attempt to describe his work, so you will have to see it for yourselves.
Here is a taster below, and here is the link.


Enjoy!

Do you hear strange noises in the middle of the night?














I am gradually amassing a fine collection of art work, and a few days ago received a new piece by Mexican artist German Orozco. Sold in an edition of 100 and signed by the artist the print was produced for 1988 galleries 3G art show (Gremlins, Goonies and Ghostbusters).
The detail and brushwork are amazing, right down to the name badges which have been meticulously painted and the Giclee print is very well produced.

If you would like to see more of his work visit: germanorozco.com

Slimer




























Without a doubt Ghostbusters is one of the greatest comedies, if not films of all time and to show my appreciation I will be working on a series of GB screen prints. So i've decided to start with Slimer and am currently working on Sandman from Dream Me a Dream. If you have any other suggestions I would love to hear them. Just leave a comment below.
The print is a three colour hand pulled screen print on 150 gsm acid-free Norfolk cartridge paper and is limited to an edition of 100. They are available in my shop, so get em while they're hot!
All editions are signed and numbered and the print is A3 with an image size of 16x19cm.
As always, thanks for dropping by!
