I'm a fan of the William Shatner starring, Esperanto speaking arthouse Folk Horror INCUBUS (1966), so I was chuffed when @arrowvideo asked me to come up with a cover for their swanky new 4K restoration Blu! I made another Infernal Goat linocut for it, so the finished piece is a blend of digital illustration and lino print. Pleased to see they've included him on the cover of the included booklet. Thanks to @jamesflowerfilm for getting me involved πŸ”₯...

One of my favourite uncanny images from Nosferatu (Murnau & Herzog) is Orlok scuttling through Wisburg by night with his prized box of dirt. Decided to make that the subject of my latest lino print! 'Night Sneaker' will be available in the shop from midday on Thursday... πŸ€ slipperyjack.bigcartel.com

πŸ‘Ή Oh heck, they've only gone and opened the hellmouth.

New literature just dropped! I picked up @bardo.bread 's 'How to Bake a Breadling' from @hollow_press , detailing the mysterious folklore and rituals surrounding the titular sentient bread beings. Furthermore I acquired an original Breadling created for said book. May the flour of eternity rest in your hands...

Made a flying visit yesterday to the makers market at @neoancients in Stroud. Picked up some new ceramic bits direct from @edith__morris - another two folklore tiles to add to my collection, plus a fine Green Man votive and Latvian Devil! Also picked up a lino / mono print from @leenutland of St Lythans burial chamber. Quite spooky as I'd visited that very site to take Polaroids less than 24 hours previously. And nice to meet @thegildedtower again, came away with a piece to compliment the gilded print I bought at Hay Castle the other week. Good trip! The market is on all weekend at Lansdown Hall if you're in the area...

Closed out A Good Day with a sunset trip to St. Lythans megalithic dolmen. Spotted a hagstone nestled into one of the crevices. I attempted some Polaroid photography. The film must've been left in the camera for a good 8 months, hence the milky pinkish hue to all of them. I don't mind it..!

Some sights from a visit to @morbitoriumuk earlier today. Spotted one of my dad's carved ghouls in a cabinet. And a Wicker Man in the garden.
