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...
🐀 slipperyjack.bigcartel.com

A lino print on handmade paper. Nosferatu scuttles along carrying his coffin, a number of rats scuttle along with him.

A close-up of the previous lino prints. A pot of printing ink is just visible in the top part of the image.

The finished cut piece of lino used to make the print.

Nine of Pentacles -- the whole thing! Featured in "Star Crossed: A Queer Tarot," this one is inspired by watching Matsuko Deluxe on Japanese television while I was on vacation, and also Kim Chi's drag makeup. Good stuff. :)

Someone handed this to my grandpa in an Inwood bar, c. 1946

A yellowed and very worn paper card that has been taped back together:

YOUR STORY HAS
TOUCHED MY HEART

Never before have I met anyone with
more troubles than you.

Please accept this token of my sincerest
sympathy.

Girls are fighting!
#art ✧ #unicorn ✧ #ornamental

Digital art of two unicorns fighting. The piece has thick reddish ornamental frames with dark turquoise flowers. The actual background is dark green and filled with different colored and shaped flowers and other flora. In the middle are two light grey unicorns in heraldic style, one of them is laying on the ground with a wound in its neck and the other one is rearing next to it, pointing at the horn towards it. The horn has some blood in it. Both of them have golden details.

strong contender for the greatest line in fantasy film

Two stills from PRINCESS MONONOKE. Osa the leper on his deathbed in Irontown, telling Ashitaka and the Lady Eboshi "Life is suffering. It is hard. The world is cursed. But still, you find reasons to keep living."
