To be honest Steve Maher's design was far better than mine, but for some reason didn't work for Mr Pratchett.

I met him briefly when he came into Cosgrove Hall during the production of Wyrd Sisters and Soul Music. I was doing turnarounds of characters for animation. He wasn't happy with the design of 'Death', so I did a version that passed approval. Which was nice!

Indeed, yet his grandson is head of Palantir UK. The "dark forces who would rule this planet" (to quote Darius Jedburgh in "Edge of Darkness").

And his influence is still part of modern politics - do we ever learn anything?

Well, IT'S READYish. Kickstarter pre-launch is active! Please sign up there if you fancy it. I can then gauge interest which gives me ideas for funding targets, add-ons etc. It should go live in October for an appropriately spooky seasonal Kickstarter! Thank you! www.kickstarter.com/projects/aly...

The Aviator used historical colour grading to define the eras, so to be fair to Scorsese, two-colour Technicolor was appropriate for 20s/30s. As the film gets into the 40s it changes to full Techicolor. But otherwise I completely agree - it’s overused.

I’ve done rotoscoping. It’s an art form 100%.

The Empire State Building went pink at exactly 9:25pm for Dolly Parton. Because of course they made it 9 to 5. That’s how you honor an icon. 🩷

Just finished the 1972 children's fantasy horror series ESCAPE INTO THE NIGHT via YouTube. You'd never get away with such measured pacing today but it's a crackingly eerie little tale. The film PAPERHOUSE was based on the same book by Catherine Storr.

Title shot from 1970s kids show 'Escape Into Night'.

A profound influence on the young me. The ‘stones’ but also the concept of lucid dreaming and dream realities. Maybe the colour prints exist in an attic somewhere…

I've just got your other order. I shall see if I can ship more economically and refund the difference if I find a better option. Sending overseas is far harder than it used to be. Thank you again!

I adore ‘Screaming’ and ‘Cabby’ is my fav, but ‘Constable’ has a wonderful performance from Hawtrey. Early Carry On is joyful.

Your fact of the day: Adrian Bell was the first cryptic crossword setter for the Times. Martin Bell, his son, was THE Martin Bell - legendary BBC journalist and (briefly) independent MP. But know who Adrian's DAUGHTER was? Anthea Bell, the translator of Asterix comics into English.

Ah, currently touring? Both films are fabulous, but I think TPS has it for me. Drunk Jimmy Stewart is a joy!

There must be something in the air; we’re on a Hepburn/Grant fix right now as well. Just [re]watched The Philadelphia Story (which is wonderful) and have Sylvia Scarlett on the list next.

It'll be clearer with the text, I also split a panel with a window later in the book, which might need an edit, as the eye reads it as two panels not a split. Horizontals and verticals can screw up tangents if one isn't careful.

Yes, 20s. I’ve loved researching it! Thank you.

Pages take as long as they do, and in all honesty I kept changing the layout of the earlier pages like this one. So it's really difficult to say. With a deadline, I work to that. Without it? -- as long or as short as I want. Not helpful am I!
