It's always good to share this link to 'The Illustrated Blade Runner' PDF. The original 97 page illustrated script from 1982 is almost impossible to find. Enjoy.

Stepping away from digital art for a bit and getting my hands dirty. Attempting a self-portait in oil for the first time.

Blimey. It's flipping hard. Need to push the values a bit, I think. Get a bit more adventurous.

As a library guy I've known about Harry Hole for a good while. His name being pronounced as "HOO-leh" takes some of the fun out of it, but the derivation of 'hole' from the old Norse word for 'hill' puts the fun right back in.

Never read a single Dilbert. Looked like a thing that I couldn't possibly give a shit about. Probably for the best. Off you fuck Dilbert guy.You were, by all accounts, a complete tool.

Obligatory Xmas haul photo. Santa knows me so well. Hope he was good to you too. Have a great day, one and all.

Thank you Santa! Just what I asked for.

It looks great, @ianmcque.bsky.social . Will get a good read later on. Worth the wait.

I keep seeing this book out of the corner of my eye in a local charity shop. My sci-fi art book addicted brain keeps triggering "Oooh! A Chris Foss art book! "

Every fecking time.

Remembering seeing The Road at a sparsely attended cinema in 2009 always makes me smile.

As the titles rolled a critic towards the front piped up "Well, that was fuckin' cheery"

Then somewhere in the back row a deceived girlfriend added, with some annoyance, "That was nothing like Star Wars..."

Good news. The rabid racist nutsack from earlier this week has been suspended, hopefully pending a ban. Thanks for the reposts and reports.

Just about to ride the rails to Derby to attend The #Quatermass Event and hearing the likes of @tobyhadoke.bsky.social , @accordingtojond.bsky.social @bronteschiltz.bsky.social @mrgeetsromo.bsky.social discuss Nigel Kneale. Bring it on.

🚨Good morning. This is your Sunday morning batshit racist alarm call. 🚨

This guy followed me a couple of weeks ago. I did have a look at his content, basically yet usual fanart illustration etc. so followed back.

This morning the algorithm showed me his real racist colours.

I think the time is fast approaching that humanities struggle against AI needs a recognisable symbol.

Inspired by 'V' the 1980s sci-fi TV series and the recent defacing of the advertising for the Friend AI website on the NY subway.

Keep it simple. A universal symbol. Take back the power. Resist.
