Elijah John @elijohn.bsky.social · 18/01/2025ABSOLUTELY MIND BLOWN!! If you loved Nosferatu, here is The Tell Tale Heart, short film by Eggers. I didn’t even know it existed and came across it whilst researching illustrations for Poe , and it’s an absolute gift.

Elijah John @elijohn.bsky.social · 16/01/2025There will never, ever be anyone like him ever again. Profoundly brilliant artist on so many levels. I think Eraserhead, Blue Velvet, Mullholland Drive and Lost Highway are masterpieces of cinema. It’s a huge loss, we’ve lost one of the true greats 🖤🖤🖤 170

Elijah John @elijohn.bsky.social · 05/12/2024The film version of Shawshank Redemption is 30 years old. Here are some drawings I made inside copies of the PS publishing edition of Different Seasons by @stephenking.bsky.social What an honour it was to work on 050
Elijah John @elijohn.bsky.social · 04/12/2024I genuinely don’t think I’ve looked forward to a film this much in years. In two minutes I can see nods to Carl Theodor Dreyer’s Vampyr, Herzog’s 1979 adaptation and the paintings of Casper David Fredrich. I’ve loved everything from Eggers upto now and this looks cinematically sublime 491
Elijah John @elijohn.bsky.social · 26/11/2024I thought I’d share with you my lettered copy of Different Seasons by Stephen King. This is a big moment for me seeing my signature next to Stephen’s, King got number 1 and I got number 2. It’s full leather bound by Blissetts of London is soft midnight blue calf. Blown away 😭💙 4130
Elijah John @elijohn.bsky.social · 25/11/2024Hot on the Heels of Dark Gods, comes Reassuring Tales from Chiroptera Press. Delighted to have produced the Jacket and interior illustrations for this title. I’m a huge fan of T.E.D Klein and this was awesome project to work on. The Events at Porath Farm is a masterpiece 2812
Elijah John @elijohn.bsky.social · 24/11/2024What a gloriously, gaudy decadent sex fest ‘Taste the Blood of Dracula’ is. Made doubly brilliant by John Carson’s ever wonderful presence and Ralph Bates’s OTT lunacy is another high point 0112
Elijah John @elijohn.bsky.social · 20/11/2024The Fall of the House of Usher coming off the press at Nomad Letterpress is so exciting!! Set by hand in monotype. It’s a professional high point for me and @nepenthepress.bsky.social first letterpress title! Eeek 0173
