Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior!

For the awesome Jurassic Dorks show that we held in December, one of my pieces was based on Mad Max 2 - a great post-apocalyptic film! I had such a good time drawing these and I really like how the characters came out on the photographic backgrounds. I'm now itching to do the same for Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome!

Bring me a horse!



I went to see Thor at the weekend and I have to say, Marvel did a really good job! It could have been a bit of a mess given that it's a lot more fantasy based than the other Marvel films but it was really enjoyable. Chris Helmsworth was awesome as said God of Thunder and very funny. There was a trailer for Captain America too which is looking pretty good (fingers crossed) and makes me slightly less likely to pooh-pooh the upcoming Avengers film.

Now you can act out your favourite moments from Die Hard in the comfort of your own home! Make John McClane scale an air vent! Have Hans Gruber threaten some hostages! Keep an eye on that down-turned photo! Coming Soon: Cut 'n' Play Nakatomi Plaza with Johnson and Johnson (no relation) helicopter!

Don't point that gun at him, he's an unpaid intern.


I don't know how Wes Anderson does it, but he manages to create the most amazing characters for his films. The Life Aquatic is no exception, with fantastic performances and a brilliant soundtrack. And it's also one of the only films I can stand Owen Wilson in besides Bottle Rocket.

Do The Wolf Dance!

One of my favourite scenes from Teen Wolf is the school prom, where Scott proceeds to "wow" everyone with a dance that only a werewolf could do (apparently). Watch this to learn the dance and be the envy of your friends!

Awesome Korean Cinema

I'm a huge fan of Asian cinema - see my post about some amazing Japanese films here - and have recently been getting back to it in a big way, most notably with South Korean cinema. Here are three I've watched in the last few days, all of which happen to star one of my favourite actors, the amazing Song Kang-ho.



Memories of Murder has actually been one of my favourite films for a while now and it just gets better with every watch. Based on Korea's first major serial killer case back in the 80s, MOM sees a small town shook by a series of grisly murders. The local police force don't have the resources to deal with such a case and resort to extreme measures to try and please the press and catch a killer. The acting in this film is superb and the story is gripping and bleak; don't let that put you off though! It's currently being remade in the States so catch the original first.



The Good The Bad The Weird is brilliant, pure and simple! Set in 1930's Manchuria, a bounty hunter, a hired killer and a thief cross paths as they all become involved in a treasure hunt. The direction in this film is fantastic; very kinetic and inventive and it's obvious that the actors are having a great time too. This is a mere £2.99 on Amazon and more than worth that price; very highly recommended!



Vampire films have been done to death but Chan-wook Park has managed to revive a tired concept. A priest volunteers at a remote hospital to find a cure for a virus and after almost dying, is given a blood transfusion from blood belonging to a vampire. He becomes involved with his friend's wife and everything goes wrong from there! Brilliant film; no sharp teeth, fantastic acting from Song Kang-ho and just a different take on the vampire genre.

Star Wars and Harry Potter Commissions!



I had two fantastic commissions a few weeks ago that I got finished last weekend and sent off. Who doesn't like drawing Star Wars characters? I'll be making this Return of the Jedi painting into a print for upcoming cons (pen and ink with digital colouring). I will also be making prints of Harry, Ron and Hermione to sell too.

Big Trouble in Little China


On the film baddie scale, David Lo Pan = Really Bloody Weird.

Why I love Highlander


There's a scale of how cheesy a baddie is in a film; I like to think bad cheesy = Wesley Snipes in Demolition Man and good cheesy = Clancy Brown in Highlander.

That's all right, ambassador. Let's just say you owe me.


One of my favourite horror films is The Omen; one of those classics that for me, is just perfect. Devil dogs, weird coincidences, awesome quotes and the ever-amazing David Warner! So here's a picture to satisfy my big-girl crush on him in this film: Photographer Keith Jennings starts to notice weird marks on his photos of people connected to the Thorn family who have then died bizarrely. Initially, he thinks it's a glitch in his camera after it is accidentally broken by Robert Thorn (Gregory Peck), but as he delves deeper, he starts to notice the marks connect with how the person then died. Imagine his horror as he catches in own reflection in the mirror whilst taking a picture and discovers a disturbing mark...

28 Days Later!


A quick doodle from one of my favourite horror films, 28 Days Later! Poor old Jim has just woken up in hospital to find a distinct lack of anything...

I still love this film and consider it to be one of the better zombie films to come out of Film Land for the last 10 years or so. The first half is by far better then the second and I still have quibbles with the "happy" ending, but you can't fault it for atmosphere. Seeing it in the cinema was awesome as the sound was so freaky and I still get creeped out by the church scene...

Conan The Barbarian Intro!



I've been listening to the Conan The Barbarian OST a lot the last couple of days and the first track features this little bit of dialogue read by the awesome Mako. I couldn't resist doing a little doodle to amuse myself.
