If you’re ever doubting your skill or feeling imposter syndrome, just remember that one of the world’s largest streaming companies thinks Patrick Swayze’s Roadhouse is a horror….And that there’s been enough viewers to put it at number 2 in Amazon Primes horror chart…
A photo of a tv with Amazon prime page with the Patrick Swayze 1989 action movie Roadhouse on the screen. Except it is listed as a Horror film, it is also captioned as no.2 in horror movies category and on the Horror film carousel it’s listed in ahead of the Asian ghost horror movie The Grudge.

Getting in early (2am is early enough) with the #Caturday post. Spud is out for the count, it’s too cold and wet to go out on the town apparently

Spud the ginger cat lays asleep, with paws outstretched, on a sofa. Sandwiched between two sofa cushions.

What was your #childhoodcinema

The Lewisham Odeon... A big single screen 3000 seater. I saw Star Wars, 2001, The Black Hole and Empire Strikes Back there.

Closed in 1981 to make way for a poxy roundabout and new road layout, which was only finished a couple of years ago

Congratulations on the 3k. Well deserved for your awesome art.

Thanks for hosting the art share I’m Lee / CartoonBeardy. I used to do cool VFX and animation stuff now I just draw and digitally sketch for fun

A digital painting of a metallic xenomorph from the Alien movie franchise. The creature has its back to us and a chrome like skin, defining its musculature. Pipes jut up out of its back and up out of shot. From above a pale light pours down A pencil sketch in a sketchbook of actor Lawrence Fishburn as Morpheus from the movie The Matrix A digital sketch of a zombie pouring coffee into the top of its skull A woman bathed in yellow light hugs herself tight in a pitch black dress that masks her form below her shoulders

Hehe the Spud sleep diary wasn’t on my 2026 bingo card but I can see it’s benefits 🤣
Spud the ginger cat finally settles on his blanket now that all the idiotic hairless monkeys have gone to bed and the fireworks have stopped. Well with the exception of the hairiest ape with that silly camera phone thing. But maybe if I ignore him maybe he’ll bugger off to bed too

Watching Jools Holland’s Hootananny and I have to say that Ronnie Wood is proof positive that Necromancy is a very real thing.

Hope 2026 is better for you than this tyre fire of a year.

Morning all. You find me in Whitstable today. Though I’ll be honest I’m not sure I’ll be staying if this is the local selling point.

Been a bit quiet on here at the moment but just wanted to wish you all a Merry Christmas

Who on earth goes ice skating in the pouring rain? My family apparently.. which is why I’m standing on the edge of an ice rink as a Zamboni tries to keep it from turning into a recreation of a global warming art installation

Hey artists!! Post some art you made from before Bluesky!!

These are circa 2017
A digital painting portrait of actor Peter Cushing as Grand Moff Tarkin from the film Star Wars A digital painting of Hugh Jackman as Logan from the movie of the same name. The black and white image shows a haggard bearded man lit from behind looking bedraggled in the rain

I have brought honour to the festival 🤣

Plus I might be binge watching Trek before it leaves Netflix and finding Gowron unintentionally hilarious
Klingon chancellor Gowron looks down at his hands in rage. The image is distorted by vhs video noise as if the video has been paused. At the bottom of the image is a caption “everyone was harmed in the making of this video”

“Merry Christmas… To you… And your houuuussssse”

Morning all. After a hectic week I’m just chilling out this morning and about to play Dispatch. Heard a lot of good things about this game.

Spud, however, does not seem so bothered. Simply happy that the neighbours cat we were looking after for a couple of days has gone home.

A digital painting of a ghostly scene from John Carpenters film The Fog. Spooky indistinct ghostly silhouettes stand outlined by a brilliant white mist. The central figure has no features except for two small red eyes glowering at you A digital painting of Batman highlighted by a single yellow circular spotlight. A digital painting of the actor Peter Capaldi as The Doctor, from the to show Doctor Who. He is staring up at you intently with his right hand raised to his lips as if thinking A digital painting of a scene from Jurassic Park. A blurred figure in the extreme foreground of the image stands in the rain at night holding a bright pink flare. In the distance and in focus, separated from the foreground character by an upturned car, is a very angry looking Tyrannosaurus Rex dinosaur staring intently at the flare
