Also, it's ambitious but I'm going to try and produce a new art show in conjunction with the series - 30 paintings for 30 episodes in a pastiche/homage of those old movie posters I love so much. It's a tall ask as time is pretty scarce as it is, but if I can try and forge on it might be a nice gallery event. Plus, if interest is there I'll be looking to get lithograph prints done of them in sets.
I've a particularly squidgy soft spot for THE WOLF MAN. Classic. Once I've got maybe 5 paintings done I'll pop them on here. The house move is around the corner though so don't expect them any day soon! :-)

First! Oh wait, wrong blog.
I got a fab edition of Cinefantastique magazine in 1988 which had a great special feature on Movie poster artists of the 50's, movies like The invasion of the Saucer Men and Attack of the 50 Foot Woman etc..., I love old era movie posters,they're such fun.
That's great news about Annecy mate!
I can't wait for the festival! If it's anything like last year it'll be the highlight of the year!
All the best.
Bling,
Thanks a million for the comment! Sorry I didn't reply sooner, I'm so busy making my final film, I forget if I've replied to emails and messages or not.
I knew about Frankenstein's Cat but didn't realised you designed Bob the Builder. ...what a delightfully random thing that was to read. Anyway, thanks for leaving a message and good luck with Annecy this year. I'll be there again, I'll make sure I get to your screening if it's possible.
On a side note, did you know Mark Romanek is directing a remake of the Wolf Man with Benicio Del Toro?
You're blog's great, really informative. It's hard to get that kind of information.
Thanks again,
Ciaran
Cool news; Congrats!
that is ambitious
good luck with that!
Hi there, Frazer at Toonhound just gave me a shout and mentioned that you were planning an art event based around the Monster Movie posters. We think it's a GREAT idea and I'm itching to help in any way that I can. Allow me to introduce myself, I have an animation gallery called 'Lollipop Animation' and also an art publishing company 'Riviere Publishing'. I love your Poster Pastiche idea but sense that you're worried about the logistics/time constraints to bring your vision to fruition. If I can assist, whether that's just on a printing basis, or more of a total package (print through to distribution). Anyway, please drop me a line when you get a second free. Check out some of our recent published art including Rupert Bear and Paddington at www.RivierePublishing.com and feel free to contact me any time on will@lollipopanimation.com Hope to hear from you soon, Best wishes, Will.
Andrew - huh???
Glazey - cheers for the enthusiasm as ever, mister. I love 'em too as you know.
Belf - cheers fella, tis grand news. Don't know if I'll be VIPping it, mind you - could be slumming with the rabble ;-)
Ciaran - good man yerself for calling by sir - Oliver Jeffers was the illustrator I was trying to think of. Am gonna be over in Dublin soon for the animation festival so if we don't catch up at Annecy it'd be grand to have a jar with you there!
Chris - thanks sir :-)
brian - yeah, has the Bling bitten off more than he can chew???
Will - you have mail my good fellow ;-) Many thanks for touching base!
