The VHS Art of Ryohei Miyaji

Published

on

Each country has it’s own preferred style of art attached to movies.  While the West dumb down films to appeal to impulse buys from big store shoppers, simplifying the cover to cliched clip art, the East ramp things up with breakneck visuals of eye popping intensity.  I first heard of Ryohei Miyaji after happening up the Manborg / Father’s Day – Astron-6 Troma release in Japan.  With Uncle Lloyd heading to Japan for the release a design was circulating promoting the event & movies being shown.  Behold.

After friending the artist on Facebook my newsfeed would be occasionally interrupted by his epicness & filling me with the desire to book a flight over to his part of the world to worship at the alter of VHS.  Take a look at some of his other works & tell me you wouldn’t want to see these on a shelf in a store or displayed in a movie theatre.

Clive Barker

We told you earlier this month that horror legend Clive Barker is leaving the convention scene behind to focus entirely on his writing, with various upcoming projects in the works.

A series of final appearances from Barker will begin at Days of the Dead Chicago this month, and we’ve learned Barker will also be coming to Monster Mania in New Jersey.

Clive Barker will be signing at Monster Mania 59 in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, which runs from August 2 – August 4, 2024. Stay tuned for more info from the convention.

Barker’s official statement earlier this month explained, “… it’s time to focus entirely on writing. I’m not stopping public events because I’ve lost delight in meeting you all over the years. I’m as passionate as ever about sharing my imagination with readers and moviegoers around the world. In the very room where I’m writing these words, I have the manuscripts for a very large number of projects (Thirty-one of them), some very close to completion, others still telling themselves. There are some wild projects in this collection of works, whether close to finished or done. There are also stories that you all knew I would be finishing.”

“Abarat IV and V are amongst the books at my feet,” he continued. “So is the Third and final book of The Art and the sequel to The Thief of Always. There are also return visits to characters and mythologies you may have thought I would never return to.

“I hope I am still able to surprise you in the decades ahead.”
