News
I was honored to be interviewed about my art by Vincent Van Dahl, host of Creature Features. The episode premiered on Saturday, June 1, and can be seen at this link. Vincent is a great host, and we talked about my skeletal fairy painting series, the yokai series (Japanese folklore) and my movie monsters series. All of the residents of Poulter Manor, Vincent, Livingston, and Tangella, are gracious hosts and treated us to dinner. On a previous visit to the manor, they invited our cats, Nimbus and Lacey, who enjoyed exploring the wonderfully creepy rooms of the manor.
In this Creature Features episode, the film Nightmare in Blood is screened. It was filmed in the 1970s in San Francisco, and I even recognized some of the landmarks. Despite its low budget, the film stands out for its passion and dedication to the genre, making it a worthwhile watch for fans of classic horror.
More about Creature Features: It’s always Halloween on Creature Features. Vincent, Tangella and Livingston bring the best and the worst horror and science fiction movies to you each and every week. Carried on over 50 television stations across the continental United States, Creature Features is also seen around the world on YouTube, Vimeo, Roku, FireTV and AppleTV. The programme debuted in October of 2016 and has delivered brand new episodes each week since from the historic Poulter Mansion in Bodega Bay, California. The YouTube Channel has over 300,000 subscribers.
If you don't care for horror films, they also have available the interview and non movie features on the channel Creature Features ExtrasI .
Thank you to Vincent, Tangella and Livingston for a fun and interesting evening and for having me on the show, and thank you to David Bellard and Laura Abrams for connecting me to the show!
