There's some parts of the zombie plague I'm not keen on....

I guess you saw my painting of Denzil Washington from one of my most favourite films I have watched 'Glory'? My wife and I went to Boston - her flight ticket and hotel booking was a reward from her company - we watched ice-hockey but also went to The Park....we visited again a few years later

I'm an evil-nasty-cheating supporter. The amount of people I have had to block over the last few months is ridiculous, I bet none of them read what the FA recently said about the situation and my club's manager - not one of them....no journalistst apologised...

Cheat like my team - apparently the most eviliest biggest cheaters in the world - okay I know every team in the professional game does this, BUT we got caught!

Charles Dance - 80 today, great in things he is in, highly entertaining and educational in the BBC docu-drama Renaissance: The Blood and the Beauty. So I HAD to paint him.... #art #portraitpainting #portrait #CharlesDance #filmart #TVart #artist

I'm sure I've annoyed you with this painting post before - but I loved him as Michelangelo in the docu-drama on BBC - Renaissance: The Blood and the Beauty - which I actually found entertaining and educational. So much so I HAD to paint him....sorry for being that boring, repetitive bloke....

David📎 @thestrovinator.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

I can't remember if I bored you with this before or not but I painted this a few years ago - the way my strange mind works I HAD too!

My tee-shirt design, by me, no friggin' AI [for me so I can't get sued by millionaires] I went to the cinema and saw this when it came out - bloomin' loved it. Got it on BluRay watch it every now and then still....

David📎 @thestrovinator.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

I love Glory and normally watch it about three times a year and my wife and I visited Boston from the UK twice - so glad I did...I HAD to paint Mr. Washington.

We're on the same school of thought....

David📎 @thestrovinator.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

I have posted this a few times @only-si-chuck.bsky.social, it is a recent painting. As a young lad mum & dad took me to see The Railway Children in the cinema. I loved it, I love it now, Bernard Cribbins ad-libbed most of his lines, he was a great man. I painted him. #art #painting #BernardCribbins

Thank you like I said I did it for ten years - UK ice hockey, I used my sense of humour and love of entertainment, lots of folk maybe weren't on the same side of the fence as me but I lasted well over ten years, so it couldn't have been that bad...

David📎 @thestrovinator.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

I used to do stuff like that for ice hockey - honestly....

David📎 @thestrovinator.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

To be fair the frame was custom made and expensive....here is the woman who has put up with me for over 30 years with it before I packed it up and posted it.

Here's here co-star @dallasgoldtooth.bsky.social who so funny I nearly fell on the floor laughing so much during Reservation Dogs - he's a good chap too #art #painting #portrait #DallasGoldtooth #ReservationDogs #PortaitArt #TVArt #artist

David📎 @thestrovinator.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

Here's one I don't think is good, which is a shame because I loved Paulina Alexis, Wǎgíyaŋ Čížaŋ (Young Eagle) and the whole show Reservation Dogs. I just don't think this captured her but at least I'm honest and show you duff stuff too @only-si-chuck.bsky.social #art #painting #YoungEagle #portrait

@only-si-chuck.bsky.social here's Benito Stefanelli, had to paint him after spotting him in so many 'Spaghetti Westerns', he certainly was an interesting and more important than you know chap... #art #paint #BentioStefanelli #portrait #artist #painting #portraitpainting #FilmArt

Here is Charles Dance @only-si-chuck.bsky.social I loved him playing Michelangelo in the excellent and educational DocuDrama, Renaissance: The Blood and the Beauty, once again I HAD to paint him.... #art #paint #Michelangelo #CharlesDance #portrait #portraitpainting

You probably don't have a full knowledge of British TV [sorry if I'm insulting you and you do] This is Mark Rylance a good British actor playing Thomas Cromwell in the TV series Wolf Hall. I liked the show but funnily enough not the novels. #art #painting #portraits #MarkRylance #portraitpainting

David📎 @thestrovinator.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

Ever seen The Battery @only-si-chuck.bsky.social ? I loved it, there are so many crap and 'seen-it-all-before' zombie films out there that Mr. Jeremey Gardner's version on a tight budget was great. More like how normal people would survive...I HAD to paint him #art #portrait #painting #TheBattery

Did Charlie Day a few years back - tried to make him look a bit different than from his role in Its Always Sunny.... @only-si-chuck.bsky.social #art #paint #portrait #CharlieDay #artist #painting #portraitpainting #filmart #TVart

Well I did this - with my hands and some design software 'Xara' - no AI whatsover....when he dies it might not be the end...'Day of the Living Dumb Dead Who Don't Know They Are'....

When he dies, zombies are going to be really scary, and his brain function will be the same....

@only-si-chuck.bsky.social here's one you might not know. Susan Wokoma; a UK actor, I first saw her in a TV show here called Crazyhead that I loved! I HAD to paint her but she is so nice and happy all of her photos online have her laughing - I had to do something different! #art #paint #susanwokoma

@only-si-chuck.bsky.social I have posted this a few times so you might have seen it - but I love Glory - I didn't know the history, so the film made me become a researcher into it - my wife and I went to Boston twice [we did watch ice hockey too 🤣] and I HAD to paint Denzil #art #painting #Glory

David📎 @thestrovinator.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

Also I think you'd like some of my old ice hockey graphic designwork I did in the UK - we are a bit similar in that area!

David📎 @thestrovinator.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

Blimey, you are very kind. Canadian actress Brittany Allen's fella, and director, Colin Minihan made a very positive comment of my painting of her from It Stains the Sand Red on Instagram - which was very kind and suprising [I'm not on Instagram any more] #painting #portrait #BrittanyAllen #art

David📎 @thestrovinator.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

Mine is not a popular opinion I think but I liked it - when I went to see it I didn't think I would - it's not perfect but what is? I hate running zombies but I can put up with that - and I felt it was a different film but was enjoyable. I loved Michael Kelly and I had to paint him a while back

110

David📎 @thestrovinator.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

Yup - loved it so much it is in my home on Blu-Ray and I HAD to paint this....

010

David📎 @thestrovinator.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

Blooming loved this film - I had to paint this a few years ago, tried to copy him in on other social media but didn't get much interest.

010

David📎 @thestrovinator.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

I enjoyed painting this a few years ago....I wonder what Mr Rylance would think....🤔

010

David📎 @thestrovinator.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

Loved the film -watched it hundreds of times, I had to paint her a few years back....

David📎 @thestrovinator.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

I loved It Stains the Sand Red - so much so I had to paint...

David📎 @thestrovinator.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

@only-si-chuck.bsky.social here's tonight's final one - but do start worrying because I won't stop now; someone shows interest in the stuff I do and they always regret it 🤣 Rhys Darby; another chap who if he is in a film or show I will watch it regardless #art #portrait #RhysDarby #portraitpainting

David📎 @thestrovinator.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

Our old cat Bramble would have made you love him - honestly both my wife and I, who have lived in cat families our whole lives - have never known a cat like him ever. He made everyone love him and it worked. When he died I cried and I HAD to paint him. He is on the living room wall staring at us now

David📎 @thestrovinator.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

Sorry posted this on another Matthau thread but it's like if you mention Robin Williams I post my painting of him too....not really a big-headed, show-off, egomaniac even it seems like that. I genuinely loved his acting and watched any film he was in - I HAD to paint him a few years ago...

000

David📎 @thestrovinator.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

Yes it did to be fair, he sort of hasn't know us that long and he does not BS at all - he is the chap in the painting I posted recently. He was a former professional golfer and he said he doesn't read novels that much but he couldn't put it down. I painted George his greyhound and finished it today

David📎 @thestrovinator.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

Here you go the very kind @only-si-chuck.bsky.social True Grit - Hailee Steinfeld (who was brilliant) and Jeff Bridges. I loved this Coen Brothers remake and I bloomin' loved the book, so brilliantly written... #TrueGrit #art #painting #portraits #HaileeSteinfeld #JeffBridges #portraitpainting #film

David📎 @thestrovinator.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

First for today @only-si-chuck.bsky.social - it is AM over here - I have to get on with my morning exercises. Not one of my better ones; painted a few years ago. Steve Buscemi - I'll watch even if the film isn't that good - I apologise to him for the painting. #SteveBuscemi #art #painting #portrait

1110

David📎 @thestrovinator.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

@only-si-chuck.bsky.social last one for tonight but there will be more tomorrow - I have shown this one hundreds of times so I apologise. Robin Williams, I watched the documentary on him here in the UK and it was so sad it made me cry - the next day I had to paint him #RobinWilliams #art #portrait

David📎 @thestrovinator.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Heres another @only-si-chuck.bsky.social I promise I don't just paint horror films character/actors but this film really lodge with me as a young man - the UK's nuttiest Oliver Reed 'The Curse of the Werewolf' [1961] #art #paint #portrait #OliverReed #CurseoftheWerewolf #portraitartist #artist

050

David📎 @thestrovinator.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

A film that influenced me as young lad when I saw it - not bad considering it was well over 30 years old - scary, sad and fun...fantastic! I called it 'Adam by Karloff' @only-si-chuck.bsky.social #art #film #Frankenstein #portrait #painting #portraitpainting #filmart #painter #artist
