Endless Blasphemy

Fun loving misanthrope and occasional freelance subversive sifting through our collective cultural entrails looking for a good time.

"The color is repellent, almost revolting; a smouldering unclean yellow, strangely faded by the slow-turning sunlight." I made a "Yellow Wallpaper" piece back in 2017, but I re-read the story over the weekend and wanted to try again. Much happier with this version 🖤

illustration inspired by Charlotte Perkins-Gilman's 1891 short story "The Yellow Wallpaper" depicting a woman touching sickly yellow torn wallpaper on a wall while shadowy hands reach toward her. There is another tall shadow of a figure on the wall and both figures look toward the viewer.

Mother of Flies, despite its low budget, is an incredible folk horror film. I absolutely love the gorgeous outdoor shots it contains and the manner in which the Adams family depicts ritual as something challenging and immensely painful. The sound design is also pretty impressive.
