JUST WHO IS BEHIND THAT EAGLE COMIC?

I LOVE this figure of Peter Cushing as Dr Who from his first Dalek movie in 1965, 'Dr Who and the Daleks' 🙂 It's playful and I think captures the intention of Cushing and the film producer Milton Subotsky all those years ago. This is the fabulous work of sculpture Robert Price, who we have featured here before. These photo's don't belong to me, neither does the figure, as much as I wish it did, it's one of Robert's many private commissions.

ROBERT SAYS AT HIS TUMBLR ACCOUNT, 'A great challenge to make and certainly one of the more intricate and fiddly pieces I’ve ever made. Never made a comfy chair before!t was very interesting working with different media- if you count paper as a different media. The Eagle comic came together beautifully. Many frustrations and dark-nights of the soul- fretting it would never be finished or good enough when it was complete. I’m very happy with it now and will be sad to let it go!'

WELL, YOU ARE A VERY TALENTED ARTIST and very well done, Robert! I certainly look forward to see and sharing more of your work in the future here! MORE please 😉😊 - Marcus 

#ONSETSATURDAY : RARE CREATURE AND ARM CHAIR CAT BEHIND THE SCENES

#ONSETSATURDAY: A RARE on set shot during the making of  The Curse Of Frankenstein, at Hammer films Bray studios. Christopher Lee as The Monster here, a role that came just before his career took off into the roles that would make him a house hold name. While Valerie Gaunt would appear in Hammer's #DRACULA and literally one or two theatre production in the UK, before quitting. I guess, unlike what the song says, An actors life, was NOT for her!

#ONSETSATURDAY It's a film always gets a mixed reaction here. Whatever you think of the film, I MONSTER certainly has a collection beautiful and interesting on set and behind the scenes photographs. Here is Peter Cushing posing on set for a promo shot. This particular shot is one of a series of shots of Peter with and without a cat. This is the same cat who appears in a scene with Christopher Lee in the movie..and comes to particularly nasty end. Oh btw... no animals were hurt or mistreated during the film of... etc etc..
