Seen in the wild! Andrew Patterson's third Harry Kenmare PI volume arrives in Australia. This was another fun project, this time doing the design to match two previous books so can't take full credit for it. 🔥 #coverdesign #booksky

Harry's Grail book in Andrew's hand. Cover has a bridge and a gun, and is done in shades of black and green.

The happy author with his newborn... book.

My latest project:

"My overall tendency is to take generally mundane things and turn them into objects of menace—a newborn baby, ice cream, an ambulance"

His memoir coming from SPB, packed w/ photos from the Larry Cohen collection!

I hear Down & Out Books has gone under. Publishing is a tough racket and I reckon exponentially moreso with AI. But I expect writers will keep writing, musicians will keep playing and artists will keep doodling, for money or not. I was happy to design over 200 (!!) books for them. Sláinte! #booksky

Whoa, great guest! Plus happy to see this'll take me 2.5 hours to finish. Sometimes longer IS better.

Coffee hacks 101. Cheap coffee? Add some decent cocoa (1/10 to coffee amount), dash of nutmeg and a few dashes of cinnamon. No more bad coffee. ☕

Yes! All of early Roeg is great, and when I finally saw Uncle Boonmee recently... I worry seeing films with high expectations, but sometimes they're even better!!

I grew up with Chaplin and Harold Lloyd, but I was grown up (sorta) when Keaton came along. And stayed, permanently! This one though is as good as anything anyone made before or since!

Best movie with Stan Lee in it.

Watching the first (and for me the last) episode of House of Guinness. Rich assholes, bombast, beatings. I miss The Detectorists, Lodge 49 and Reservation Dogs. Quirky humanity. The Lowdown does give me hope. But Detectorists... that was perfection. 🌞

Toby Jones and Mackenzie Crook in The Detectorists.

I started reading the review, got excited, and decided to stop reading and get a copy of the book.... AFTER which, the review. Also eager to read Ian McEwan's WHAT WE CAN KNOW, which might pair well with this.

Pidän kovasti, noin kolmannes vasta toki luettu. Underland jonossa, toki saatan hypätä muualle välissä. Kivoja silläkin, että tulee hinku ulos luontoon, ja kirja täynnä myös muita lukuideoita.

Reading Robert Macfarlane is a lovely way of connecting to the past. Like this 1936 aerial photo by George Allen, showing the crossroads of modernity and the past: a train, a car, and a plane crossing the ruts of the ancient Icknield Way, which we now observe on our screens 90 years later. #oldways

When you are young, you think that someone will have the answer. When you are old, you know they don't.

This film takes us deeper into its world of disreputable book scouts.

We meet - still alive and thoroughly respectable - Michael Moorcock and Alan Moore.

Then there's David Seabrook (dead), Michael Stone (dead) and Driffield (disappeared, though see the recent court case).

The Cardinal and The Corpse: Deeper into Iain Sinclair's world

Reminiscing about a lost Stamford bookshop , I mentioned Iain Sinclair's novel White Chappell, Scarlet Tracings. This film takes us deep...
