Just spotted this fantastic bit of stop motion animation on Boing Boing: THE DEEP by PES is one minute thirty-eight seconds of genius. Watch out for the angler fish.

Music for Monsters
It’s the time of year for roundups, when pundits fill space in blogs and papers by making lists of things. In my case, as it’s been about a year since the last time I did it, I thought I’d pass along some music recommendations. If my neighbours have ever wondered this year just what that [...]
Rescue Yourself
Got twelve minutes? Ever seen, say, a marauding shoal of fish made out of crisp packets? This is Temple Rider, a gorgeous and surprisingly touching short animated film I found over the weekend at my favourite film-related website, Twitch. The dialogue’s in Cantonese and there are no subtitles, but you shouldn’t have any trouble following [...]
A Song About Snow! By Me!
If this works, there should be a little music-player thingy here, through which you can hear a song of mine and even, possibly, download it for free! (It’ll stay free for the first 200 people who download it – so get in there quickly!) It’s a song called ‘Underneath the Snow’ and it’s from a [...]
I, Refuse

Not “only” is it full of the most amazing new developments in science – making it a wonderful source of story ideas, btw – but for the passion and enthusiasm of its writers it can’t be beaten.

Release The Newts!
One of my favourite blogs, Pink Tentacle, recently posted a wondrous selection of visual interpretations of Gothic Horror classics by Japanese artist Tatsuya Morino. As I hope will happen to you if you click on the link, this amazing art has definitely inspired me to look for the stories on the list that I haven’t [...]
Monstered!
The Crystal Palace Children’s Book Festival on Saturday was awesome. Here’s a pic of Alexander Gordon Smith at our Chainsaw Gang Best of Horror Panel, introducing a personal friend of his – the disembodied head of one of the Wheezers from his fantastic Furnace books (click here for my review of those on TBM). Rather [...]
For Your Consideration…
Via The Cartoon Museum (which, btw, is AWESOME) I’ve received the following: That’s a mighty panel of judges to impress, but what do you think? Fancy a shot at being one of the Young Cartoonists of the Year?
Be my fan!
Completely forgot to mention in my earlier post that I now have a Facebook fan page. Not quite sure what it does, but I shall endeavour to find out over the coming days and weeks. In the meantime, if you’d like to officially declare yourself a Barry Hutchison Fan, then go along to this page [...]
