An old one (2020) for #SelfPromoSaturday A "Graboid" from the film Tremors (1990). #HumanMade #art #tremors #graboid #creature

A line illustration of a creature from the film Tremors (1990). Its head has burst from the ground. Its jaws agape. Its snake-like tongues searching for prey.

As per a request. A mash-up of two characters from different fictions. #DateEverything #Keith #ZNation #Murphy #HumanMade

Hand-drawn and hand-coloured digitally. A picture of a gentleman wearing an extravagant blue suit and cape. He holds in hand, proffered toward the viewer, a vaccine syringe. His outfit is decorated on this theme.

Bi Appreciation Month This wrong name for the month kept popping into my head so I made it too. #bi #BiVisibility #LGBTQIAPlus #queer #BiVisibilityMonth #BiAppreciationMonth #BiMonth

Graphic. A Bi flag with weathered edges. White text on the flag reads, "Bi Appreciation Month". In smaller text at the bottom, "September".

MJ Walsh @fluffgar.pixelfed.scot.ap.brid.gy · 4w ago

Bi Visibility Month Since the first Bi Visibility Day on the 23rd of September 1999 the month of September has become Bi Visibility Month. #bi #BiVisibility #LGBTQIAPlus #queer #BiVisibilityMonth

Graphic. A bi flag (magenta, lavender and royal blue horizontal stripes). Its edges weathered. Text on flag (in white) reads, "Bi Visibility Month". Smaller text at the bottom reads, "September".

Based on an FX make-up look by Corinne Foster (MrsMakeUpFX). It's such a pretty effect. Kudos to her. Didn't have anything fancy so I just used just cheap make-up and children's face-paints. #ZNation #zombie #FX #MakeUp #halloween

Photo. A hand, painted with a bluish map-like pattern, holds a small jelly sweet that is shaped like a human brain.

The *real* test. If my brain has properly figured out how to make this rotate 180° and convincingly fit back together. Seems so! (with a bit of nudging) #ZNation #Murphy #art #HumanMade #KeithAllanDuh

Drawing/graphic. Line drawing. Black ink on white background. The head and torso of a man "mirrored" (copy-rotated) so that it appears the same either way up. Playing card style. There is a bite motif throughout.

MJ Walsh @fluffgar.pixelfed.scot.ap.brid.gy · last mo.

So far I've only done the four of these. So this is the last of those. Next batch there are still plenty of characters to choose from. #ZNation #Doc #art #HumanMade #RussellHodgkinson

Photo. A piece of white card is clipped to a tan board. On it is a drawing of a man wielding a hammer whilst being impressively bearded. The cad!

MJ Walsh @fluffgar.pixelfed.scot.ap.brid.gy · last mo.

There was a bit of a gap between me starting the others I've posted and beginning this one. Part of taking things slow on this project. #ZNation #Doc #art #HumanMade #RusselHodgkinson

Photo. A white piece of card is clipped to a tan board. On it is a pencil sketch of a man with a full beard. Holding a hammer raised.

MJ Walsh @fluffgar.pixelfed.scot.ap.brid.gy · last mo.

An old one from when I watched *It: Chapter II* (2019). Instantly loved Mrs. Kersh. #it #MrsKersh #horror

Drawing of a monstrous Mrs. Kersh and the insect baby thing from the beginning of It: Chapter II (2019). They are seated drinking tea together.

Had another pass at the face but don't feel I've done her justice. There comes a point, in any creative endeavour, where you have to settle for *good enough*. Or risk destroying all of your progress. #ZNation #Addy #art #HumanMade #AnastasiaBaranova

Photo. A piece of white card is clipped to a tan board. A line drawing of a woman is on it. The upper part in black ink while the lower part remains a pencil sketch.

MJ Walsh @fluffgar.pixelfed.scot.ap.brid.gy · last mo.

For some reason I found this one particularly difficult. #ZNation #Addy #art #HumanMade #AnastasiaBaranova

Photo. A piece of white card is clipped to a tan board. There is a pencil sketch of a woman on it. Head and shoulder area. The top half of the image and bottom half are the same head and shoulders. Rotated 180°.

MJ Walsh @fluffgar.pixelfed.scot.ap.brid.gy · last mo.

Had to have another go at the face. It just wasn't there for me. Think this is an improvement. Trying to capture something of a real human can be a challenge. #ZNation #Warren #art #HumanMade #KellitaSmith

Photo. A piece of white card clipped to a tan board. A sketch of a woman (face and arms) is visible on it. She is armed, taking aim. The top part of the pencil sketch has been gone over in black ink to make the lines firmer.

MJ Walsh @fluffgar.pixelfed.scot.ap.brid.gy · 2mo ago

Another of the cards I've begun. I've only started a few. Little steps toward a goal. Maybe I'll achieve some of what I'd like to at least. Resisting the urge to overwhelm myself again. #ZNation #Warren #art HumanMade #KellitaSmith

Photo. A piece of white card is clipped to a tan board. There is a pencil sketch on the card. It depicts a woman holding a gun-like implement. Head and arms.

Settled on the line-work and overall design elements in ink. It's part of a set but I'm taking my time over them as I notoriously have a habit of setting myself massive projects and crashing. Never to complete any part of them. #ZNation #Murphy #art #HumanMade #KeithAllanDuh

Photo. A white piece of card is clipped to a tan board. Visible on the card is a stylised drawing of a man wearing a smart coat. Bust. Bite shaped decorative elements in the background. The lower part of the drawing is still a pencil sketch. The upper part of the drawing mirrors it (like a playing card) but has been gone over with black ink to harden the lines.

Working on something I kind of promised to do but I've been dragging my heels over a little. That's not fair. I've been taking my time because that is how I work at times. Ideas need a while to cook before I can take proper action. #ZNation #Murphy #art #HumanMade #KeithAllanDuh

Photo. A white piece of card clipped to a tan board. There is a pencil drawing of a character from the TV series Z Nation (Murphy) on it.

Studying the shapes involved in a piece of FX make-up. #ArtisticStudy #sketch #FXMakeUp #scar

Sketch. Graphite pencil on ivory sketch paper. An attempt to pick out the confusing mass of shapes invovled in a single latex scar effect.

Death's Head Hawk Moth, by Fluffgar 2026 Moths, particularly the deathshead hawkmoth, are considered a queer symbol. This one is in the colours of the bisexual flag. #HumanMade #art #QueerArts #moth #bisexual

Human-made digital graphic. A Death's Head Hawk Moth. Wings unfurled. In magenta, lavender, and royal blue. Symbolising bisexuality.

Sketch of the hawkmoth made whole by mirroring the completed side of the pen and in sketch.

The Running Man (2025) street and bus station scenes. For the street scene I got to push the button for the wee fog machine hidden in a corner near me. As they kept having trouble with the remote for it. Bus station was a night shoot. It was about -4°C. Had […] [Original post on pixelfed.scot]

Still from The Running Man (2025). Protagonist Ben Richards walks along a street (left to right) in front of a graffiti covered, formerly grand, building. Various poor folk are stoating about.

Detail of the street scene still. Shows one of the poor folk digging through bin bags.

Frankenstein (2025) street scene. Pretty good for a first shot at being in a film, eh? #SupportingArtist #extra #cinema #frankenstein #GuillermoDelToro

Still from a street scene in Frankenstein (2025).

Section of the street scene still cropped to show only the chestnut seller.

Cane Sword by Fluffgar 2026 A prop cane sword. Fake blade. Con safe. #prop #cosplay #craft #art #maker #CaneSword #ZNation #TheMurphy #HumanMade

Photo. A black and silver cane leans against a sand-coloured brick wall.

Photo. The black and silver cane, now in two parts, leans against the brick wall. On the right the main body of the cane. On the left the "sword" part.

Photo. The "sword" part of the cane sword lies on a grey blanket. The hilt black and silver. Ending in the cane handle (silver). The "blade" shiny metal looking (silver).

Photo. Hilt and handle detail. The handle silvery looking. Walking stick handle shaped. The hilt a stripey silver grip on a black base. The join between the hilt and the body of the cane a wide silver band.

MJ Walsh @fluffgar.pixelfed.scot.ap.brid.gy · 4mo ago

Having failed to locate a suitably shaped handle, I created one from foil and other bits (not having any metalworking capability currently). #prop #cosplay #craft #art #maker #CaneSword #ZNation

Photo. Additional aluminium tape has been added to the decorative handle to make the surface slightly smoother.

Photo. Aluminium foil has been tightly scrunched around the bamboo straw to create a solid decoratively curved handle.

Photo. A section of wooden straw and a small copper pipe connector are attached to each other, at a right-angle, using cable-ties.

After over-thinking it for a while finally settled on how to prevent the "sword" dropping its cane sheath. #prop #cosplay #craft #art #maker #CaneSword #ZNation

Photo. Aluminium tape has been added to the wooden quadrant "blade". Giving it the appearance of metal.

Photo. Wooden quadrant with metal handle. The metal tubing (handle) has "O"-rings on it and additional craft-foam and tape. This allows it to slot onto another piece of tubing (sheath). While the quadrant "blade" slots inside.

Photo. A length of wooden quadrant with a short black metal tube for a handle.

Photo. A piece of thin wooden quadrant, with craft-foam and tape wrapped around it, inside a black metal tube.

Another new project. Moral of this one: Never underestimate a stubborn individual with a tiny saw (cutting through steel is hard... But not impossible, it turns out). #prop #cosplay #craft #art #maker #CaneSword

Photo. A length of wooden quadrant and a tiny manual wood saw lie next to one-another on a slatted wooden surface. The quadrant has had its tip tapered.

Photo. A tapered copper cap has been added to the end of the copper conduit. It has a black o-ring and a clear rubber foot added on the end of that.

Photo. The steel conduit and tiny saw lie next to each other on the slatted wooden surface. The conduit has been cut into two pieces.

Photo. A length of black steel conduit and a tiny manual metal saw lie next to each other on a slatted wooden surface. A cut line on the conduit has been marked out using tape.

Necronomicon Ex Telephonum - internal Art by Fluffgar 2026 Some original art I made as I felt the inside of the phone case needed some love. #EvilDead #NecronomiconExMortis #NaturomDemonto #prop #craft #art #horror #film #cinema #TV

Photo. Shown is a piece of original art by Fluffgar (AKA MJ Walsh). At the top a reproduction of symbols found on the pages of the Naturom Demonto (Necronomicon Ex Mortis) from the Evil Dead series. Beneath it the penned in words "Klaatu barada nikto." Below that a skull-like being with a crazed, purple-irised, eye, and a strange plant growing from between its teeth (the lower part of which ends in a clawed paw). All on aged-looking paper.

Photo. Aged-looking paper applied to the internal side of the phone case.

Photo. Aged-looking paper being carefully torn into shape. A bowl of black tea and some tongs are visible in the background.

Necronomicon Ex Telephonum by Fluffgar 2026 "Cunda astratta montose eargrets gutt nos veratoos canda amantos canda." #EvilDead #NecronomiconExMortis #NaturomDemonto #prop #craft #art #horror #film #cinema #TV

Photo. A phone case decorated in the style of the book found in The Evil Dead series of films and television. This stage shows the base paint complete over a texture layer that gives it three dimensionality. It has been completed and varnished. Front outer case shown.

Photo. A phone case in the process of being decorated in the style of the book found in The Evil Dead series of films and television. This stage shows the base paint complete over a texture layer that gives it three dimensionality. Further definition has been given to the darker areas by using a small brush to push the paint along edges.

It's coming together now. *steeples fingers* But what to summon first... #EvilDead #NecronomiconExMortis #NaturomDemonto #prop #craft #art #horror #film #cinema #TV

Photo. The painted phone case sits, paint now dry, awaiting further work.

Photo. The phone case is sat drying in the sun after receiving its full coats of initial colour. The raking light from the sun dramatically highlighting the textural decoration. The Necronomicon Ex Mortis is coming to life.

Photo. The phone case in the process of being decorated is shown open so that it can be seen to have the decoration continued around the back.

Photo. Old phone case has had texture applied to it using glue and paper. Shown here is it after its first coat of paint. Mottled browns.
