If you're a sucker for extended sequences of crime-involved men coolly, meticulously and wordlessly going about their procedural business, then have I got a film for you. Such terrific stuff.

I was able to make one of my favorite releases pay what you want. Lots of sound collage, trippy guitar atmospherics, and ambience. It may be the best overview of my "thing", whatever that is.

Colourbox 4 CD box set. There's a lot here (everything they released plus additional mixes, radio sessions, etc) but it's a shame there wasn't more output from them at the time. They were such an eclectic group that it felt like there were no limits to what they could do. #CDFriday

For David Bowie's birthday, here's Michael Heslop's cover for Stag Boy (1972), a children's novel by William Rayner. Heslop used a lot of photo reference in his illustrations but Bowie is still an odd choice for this one. The novel is reviewed here:

Someone ordered a print of one of my Frankenstein illustrations a couple of days ago. Today I'm enjoying watching the tracking updates as it crosses the US from NYC to Texas.

Sorting through old Magic: The Gathering cards after someone asked about purchasing a few. I've got thousands of the damned things from the time I was working on the game in the 1990s, all useless to me since I still don't know how you play it. These are point-of-sale boxes stuffed with cards.
