#COLLECTINGCUSHING Wednesday! Andrew Evanson has been busy! Here's his latest set
of three individual pieces of artwork, each featuring the face of one of
the fearsome three! See if you too can work out the influence of the
text or design in the back ground of each portrait? Nice touch! Each
would make a fine addition to anyone's Cushing Collection! Andrew has
told me... ' I did them on my ipad Pro
12.9' with an apple pencil using Auto Desk Sketchbook Pro. They have
been done to match my colour scheme as the intention is to frame them.
Obviously, as they are digital, I can easily print them off onto A4
using archival quality paper and inks if people are interested but any
larger prints would have to be done through a print firm' ....Thank you
Andrew for sending this in today😉
Remembering Today.. the birthday of director Roy Ward Baker, whose work
with Peter Cushing includes 'Asylum', 'And Now, The Screaming Starts!'.
'The Vampire Lovers' with Amicus films. 'The Legend of the Seven Golden
Vampires for Hammer films and 'The Masks of Death' with Peter Cushing
for Tyburn films. Starting as a tea boy at the Gainsborough Studios in
London in 1934, raising to the role of assistant director with Alfred
Hitchcock on 'The Lady Vanishes' by 1939, then onto a career as director
in Hollywood, working with Marilyn Monroe...Ward Baker had a very full
career that covered just about every genre! Today we remember his
birthday and the contribution to not only Peter Cushing's career, but
the the world of cinema...
ABOVE AND THE LINK HERE! is for a great feature I put together a few years ago, in which WARD BAKER talks about Peter and the several different films he made with him!
