New work: A fun little illustration about travel and escape for Doctor Who Magazine. I took some inspiration from 1950s American motel matchbooks.

Christmas with the Addams Family, which is an adorable pastiche/spoof of an I Love Lucy Christmas ep from a decade earlier. And the Peanuts animation, obviously.

Copying an I Love Lucy episode where everyone ends up dressed as Santa.

I've just finished another stint working with the Edinburgh TV Festival, designing the printed brochure and on-site graphics for this year's 50th Anniversary event. The Festival is run by the TV Foundation, a charity that works to make the TV industry more accessible for all.

There's a very funny Munsters scene where Herman enrolls in a detective school class and unwittingly draws a suspect sketch of himself, executed on set by Fred Gwynne.

Before Car 54 and The Munsters, Fred Gwynne was an artist for a New York advertising agency. He later wrote and illustrated children's books.

A fascinating fly-on-the-wall documentary covering the filming of Werner Herzog's Nosferatu. The biggest surprise is that the glorious silent plague party scene originally featured a monologue from Isabelle Adjani, captured at 17m: “I proclaim the time of the rats!” youtu.be/nIhQMx1Jxdw?...

About half a dozen frames survive. Interestingly, the horizon line on this one suggests they were taken outside on location with lighting rather than a studio set-up on a backdrop as they might first appear.

Jon Pertwee as Dr Who possibly outdoors.

I'd always assumed that these shots were one session, but looking at the pics again and JP's hair, I can see it was two… the latter presumably including that monsters tableau.

Hello, haven't posted much on here yet. I'm interested in connecting with more creative people out there. When not designing or writing, I like colouring bits of old TV. 🎨
