Honestly one of my favorite things about bluesky is just seeing that other strange people out there like strange movies like The Devils, Wake in Fright & Messiah of Evil. I pretty much grew up in rural America thinking I was the only one. “They shoot kangaroos don’t they?” #filmsky
Still image from they shoot Horses don’t they?

BRUCE DAVIDSON’s photos of Jimmy ‘The Dwarf Clown’ Armstrong taken in 1958 are a profoundly moving record of life in and out of a Circus for someone like Jimmy back then.

WAVE (1994) Acrylic on Canvas - 48” x 48” Of all the paintings hanging in my home, this one probably elicits the most comments. #art
An exponential curve expressed as a massive wave of green-blue water that climbs to vertical against a sky of puffy lavender clouds. Light breaks through the cloud cover just over the horizon casting a flat glare across rippling water before the wave climbs. Fin-like ridges emerge running up the wall give the water turbulence and dimension.

Weird Oregon. Near Murderer’s Creek. Ghosts still haunt their unmarked graves in the canyons. Land of the Paiute and others before them. The Animal People, and the ones that were here already.

A Dunwich Horror update for interested parties: Dr. Henry Armitage begins the arduous task of deciphering Wilbur Whateley's encrypted diaries. I'm pleased with this panel but glad it's out of the way. The necessity of matching my micro-shading of the 1980s is another arduous task.

The Drowned World (1962) by J.G. Ballard: Before global warming was big on the news, this tome gave us this strange future. Earth is drowned & swamps emerge with a return to the primordial past. Human leftovers regress as nature takes back the planet. Adapt or die taken to the nth level! #booksky

The Color out of Space hits 60s England for some lurid Lovecraftian chills. Shy of classic perhaps but superbly creepy and Karloff shines. Literally. 1965. #horrorcommunity #horrorfamily #film #horrormovie #horrorfilm #horrorfan #classichorror #horroraddict #filmsky #horrorsky #mutantfam #horrorfam

Five Million Years to Earth/Quatermass and the Pit (1967). An invigorating British sci-fi spook show, imagine Prometheus (2012) done faster, cheaper, and not rock stupid.

Night shot of Bob's Big Boy 🍔 Burbank, California 🌴 1948
The historical Bob’s Big Boy restaurant at 624 S. San Fernando Blvd (originally Road) in Burbank, California was a beloved fixture of the San Fernando Valley. Opened in 1940, it was the third official location established by founder Bob Wian outside of his original Glendale hamburger stand. This legendary spot popularized the classic drive-in carhop experience and served up the famous double-decker burger for decades. Though it was remodeled into a beautiful Googie architectural style during its heyday, this specific location ultimately closed its doors in the late 1980s

Finally finished the portrait of Yig, Father of Serpents, for the new edition of my Lovecraft book. That means I've now finished reworking the Great Old Ones section and am back at work on The Dunwich Horror. There'll be more about snakey on the blog next week.
A black-and-white digital illustration (Wacom & Photoshop) of Yig, a snake-headed vaguely human figure shown here with eight arms, six of which terminate in smaller snakes, a pair of wings and other less identifiable extrusions.

Halfway through our Call of Cthulhu Brotherhood of the Beast campaign and mishaps with these bad boys have proven far more deadly to the investigators than any mythos beasts. Each death was the result of a series of bad rolls, but the group is now understandably wary of any explosives, and dice.
