Christmas, the coldest place to hide

Once again the might Last Exit To Nowhere had me back to produce their Christmas (or other seasonal excuse for a holiday) cards.

This year it was time for collective favourite, The Thing, to inspire a set of Little MacReady cards.

As always, the cards are beautifully printed and well worth sending to your favourite lover of scuttly-head, meat creatures.

And if your significant other has already been consumed by an alien meat beast, then there's always the other sets to chose from.

Hop to it!

Happy Birthday Roy!

I've enjoyed films for as long as I can remember, but Blade Runner was shown in my art class when I was about 15, just at the point I was realising that movies were grown up and smart, as well as simple entertainment.

With its flawless cinematography, visionary design and a rich, slow burning, noire story, its remained up there with my favourites ever since.

'I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire of the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tanhaüser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time like... tears... in... rain.' - Roy Batty

Happy Birthday Roy!

Incidentally... Roy Batty? Sounds like an ageing newspaper seller from 'oop north'.

Time to die

I was fortunate enough to catch Blade Runner at the cinema for the first time tonight. Despite being one of my favourite movies its surprising how much more details in both sound and picture come to light on the big screen.

This doodle was initially going to be a black and white sketch but I was playing with the colours and seemed to catch something that was very reminiscent of the films neon hues.

I think I'm one of the few people left who is looking forward to the sequel, with or without Scott, and I'm hoping he brings this world and that of the Alien films together with a few sneaky references.
