Sometimes I do graphic design stuff for telly and film. Other times I make spooky lino prints and things you can buy if you want... 📍Black Country (middle of the UK) https://linktr.ee/SlipperyJack
A schoolfriend (early 1990s) convinced me that her dad had a machine that could generate an entire video game purely from a drawing. So I spent weeks drawing The Best Video Game in biro (I think it was just a ripoff of Ghosts 'n Goblins). Still waiting on the game, but it's gonna be great...
...Not forgetting the Krampus tile I picked up in December...
Back home for the weekend and took delivery of two new folklore ceramic tiles I picked up from Edith Morris' last drop. I got a white stag and Blodeuwedd. Still need to figure out a nifty way of displaying them...
He sent over a fair few neat little doodles. Made my job a lot easier..!
A shame Christoph Waltz looked bored as hell, but I too found it surprisingly enjoyable, Disney gargoyle manservants and all...
A small cameo..!
Ben's original sketch that formed the basis of the illustration. I quite like it..!
This guy here I intended to be one of the straw masked cultists from Kill List, but it doesn't really register. Didn't tell Ben...
From IG, it's Covid Times Ben Wheatley with a clapperboard featuring a pen drawing of my Parneg Fegg illustration for In the Earth (back when it was called The Growing Green)...
Been off social media due to job stuff and missed all your latest hospital adventures! Good to hear you're back up and inventing terrible desserts...
Heh I wish. Mates rates on his original pieces...
...And finally on to the Art of the Book show at Hay Castle, where by sheer coincidence we bumped into the man himself (and Rudi the dog)! I was beyond thrilled when Clive mentioned he owns both Damnable Tales and Tales Accursed, a nice ego boost to end the weekend, har..!
...Then on to Celf Gallery in Cardiff to check out Clive's original illustrations for the astonishingly swanky Folio Society edition of The Illiad...
A top notch weekend accompanying @skullsandsheets.bsky.social around three different exhibitions for the great Clive Hicks-Jenkins. First up was the Witch show at Carmarthen's Oriel Myrddin Gallery, centred on Hansel & Gretel...
Lows and highs...
Yeah, picked it up from dad. He knows wood...
New 'Does she know?' meme just dropped...
Ah yes I'm meant to be promoting my dad's latest batch of phantoms that he carved from lumps of spalted driftwood. Available in his shop tomorrow..!

Forgot the alt text, it's a damn fine brownish luxury cat with unusual markings and a kind of smug expression...
Yep, sits next to me on the sofa most nights, a nice de-stresser..!
I haven't been posting much which can only mean one thing... stressful new telly job ahoy! Hopefully things will improve in the coming weeks, but I'm staying in a place with this fine lady (Mimi) so it's not all bad...
Pushing this one again today because I think £375 is a ruddy good price for it!
Go ahead punk, make my day.
Ah is it tonight, best of luck! Have you sorted your background, get all the shelves in shot..!
Launching the Friday Shop Plug.
🚨 I'll be closing the shop on Sunday morning while I make the Big Move to the next telly job and get settled into the new office. Should hopefully reopen in the next week or so with a brand new haunted lino print, fancy..!

And yes, the cursed bog table is still in place...
I nearly scrolled on by thinking it was another 80s slasher, but I'm reading the listing and keep going 'ooh!'...
Yeah I should pay more attention to upcoming events. I just ducked in out of the rain and only had about 15 mins to spare, sadly..!
She'd been painting at the cathedral all month, nice work if you can get it..!
Yeah I only popped in for 15 mins while I waited to meet my mom for lunch, could've spent all afternoon there..!
I wish I'd had more time there, wanted to pull up a chair. Intensely calming watching her work in the quiet of the cathedral...
