Vector illustration in limited colour palette. Roger Moore as James Bond, with Bernard Lee as M…the rest of the image is cropped, but also features Louis Maxwell as Monepenny and Desmond Llewelyn as Q. Text reads Universal Exports 1973 - 1979.

It’s amazing the motivation a ‘low account balance’ notification from your bank gives you to get on and finish things….

Early stages of vector illustration of Roger Moore.

Still faffing. At glacial speed. Perhaps even slower.

early stages of vector illustration of Miss Moneypenny.

Moneypottering...

vector illustrations in limited colour palettes of M and Q.

*pottering intensifies*

Early stages of vector illustration of Desmond Llewellyn

Pottering.

Do pay attention...

Vector illustration in blacks and greens of The Living Daylights and events what take place in it but not necessarily including flying carpets and apes being hit with cars.

Running some prints. Figured I ought to 'do the content' to this account as it's been a while. Has it? Hasn't it? I don't know. I'm not made of 'remembering things'.

Early stages of a vector illustration of Bernard Lee...as M.

Pottering. Unable to actually finish anything at the moment and just keep starting new things instead.

It's almost as though living in an absolute shitshow of a country with a 24 hour rolling news cycle of evil and incompetence doesn't make for being able to concentrate or focus.

Spy Who Loved Me vector illustration..

We'll always have the good stuff, still. Not on physical media in 4K, obviously...because Amazon prefer to just have the films cycle around the streaming platforms in a ceaseless merry-go-round, with adverts.

Vector illustration for film poster of At The Earth's Core, featuring Peter Cushing, Doug McClure and Caroline Munro.

Something going on under the Earth?

Probably rubbery and Kevin Connor-related.

Cat mewing 1980s BBC Video ident.

Line art, colour vectors and graphics for a Patrick Troughton piece featuring most of the key characters from The War Games, the finale to the sixth series of Doctor Who.

Of course, the ideal time to have remembered that I'd done a War Games piece was about, I dunno, a month ago. Unfortunately my brain doesn't function like that. It barely functions at all, if I'm honest...

It's a pain in the bum remembering which account I'm logged into...and not logged into...and which one I want to post from...so, I'm being lazy. Apologies if you follow me on both and didn't want spam for dinner.

full colour vector, and two colour line art illustration for a film poster for Theatre of Blood. Purple background. Price, Rigg and Hendry rendered in vectors, supporting cast all in line art. Typesetting largely in white.

All done, and uploaded too small to be stolen...so all the vector stuff at the bottom gets nice and smooshed together and looks like a lumpy mess.

Don't say I don't treat you.

Section of artwork featuring digital vector and line artwork of Vincent Price, Ian Hendry and a host of British character actors.

Not sure I've finished any artwork (Cash on Demand excepted) since The Satanic Rites - almost this time last year?

Anyway...nearly done with Theatre of Blood.

Rough quick sketchy digital painting of Peter Cushing and Andre Morell.

A rather belated quick Christmas sketch for...ummm....Christmas.

The Home Counties Die Hard, 'Cash on Demand'.

Quick digital sketch / painting of Peter Vaughan in A Warning to the Curious.

For the past handful of years I've done a quick freebie for Christmas. Still working on this year's in quiet moments, but here's the one from last year.

That ongoing two colour 'TV detective but not a detective' vector illustration I'm working on.

In my defence, with regards to how slowly I'm doing this, I AM also working on 3 clocks, a dressing table, 1 bar cart, while getting a cluttered and messy house together for Christmas, and watching a lot of questionable old TV and eating - lots.

It's the eating that's taking up most of my time.

Vector illustration in two colours of a puzzle solving fake-detective.

Hideously busy with other stuff, but cramming in 5 minutes of beard drawing fun *gnashing of teeth* whenever I can...

vector illustrated film poster for Tobe Hooper's wonderful Hammer on a budget with a load of cocaine space vampire epic, 'Lifeforce'.

Mentioned 'Lifeforce' over on my 'by day, mild mannered...etc' account, which reminded me I'd done some Lifeforce artwork, which reminded me this account is very neglected...

I pixellated the tits. I'm sorry if you come to this account for non-pixellated tits.

black and white vector artwork of a chap off the telly, but you can't tell that yet because it's nowhere near done. Because he has a beard. And it takes me 15 years to illustrate a beard.

*Harrison Ford voice*

"Beards. Why'd it have to be beards?"

Early stages of black and white vector illustration of a face.

Yeah, yeah. Enough already. I don't posts so much, do I? *shuffles toothpick in mouth*

Well, I'm doing something not horror or Bond for a change, after being utterly charmed by something.

Early days...

And YES, I will finish Theatre of Blood. By next Halloween.

vector illustration for Death on the Nile.

Of course I have. I always have.

Farewell, Maggie Smith. Thanks for brightening our screens with all of that blazing talent....

Vector illustration in golds, black and greys for the film 'Goldfinger'.

Goldfinger is 60, you say?

Vector artwork in progress of Donald Pleasance and his pussy in bio.

One of the many pieces from my 'faffing about with it while on the phone to my mum' folder...

Print hanging off printer tray. Digital illustration for The Satanic Rites of Dracula. Pen outlines, vector infills / blocks of colour.

Running prints this morning.

Be Beltane soon…

Unfinished artwork featuring a vector illustration of Vincent Price as Edward Lionheart, with inked outline illustrations of Eric Sykes and Milo O'Shea in the background...

Oh, go on then...have some progress from the Theatre of Blood piece, too.

Still lots to do.

Speak again in *checks notes* 5 months!

Vector illustration of Sean Connery as James Bond, in Little Nellie. Surrounded by SPECTRE helicopters. A small section of a larger You Only Live Twice piece.

OH YOUR GOD! Almost up to double figures with the follower count! I suppose I can't complain as summer is typically my 'doing other things and not posting any content' time.

Just because this happens to be on my screen at the moment as I ready some prints for the post...

Was hoping to have my Theatre of Blood print ready for the Ides of March. It's looking more likely to be the Ides of June, if I'm honest.

Stuck with VHS for the time being, I'm afraid...when we ALL know Betamax is going to win out in the format wars.

*taps nose* I've got a hot tip about these things called 'Laser Discs' too....

I hope you haven’t already picked out what you wanted at Rumbelows.

It’s a good guess, but….
