Hey!

If you've ever wanted to see video profiles of your favourite pop culture artists, the illustrators and designers who blaze our retinas with their film posters, vinyl soundtracks and beyond...this might be the show for you.

Each month I'm going to have an in-depth video chat with a contemporary artist, illustrated with images of their work.

I'm personally fascinated by the thinking and processes behind these designs, so I hope you are too.

Episode One is on the celebrated Canadian horror master 'Ghoulish' Gary Pullin.

Enjoy!

count me in! I'll be giving this a watch over the weekend.

Cool! I'm on board, too.

Great to see you doing something podcast-ish again! I've downloaded to watch later on. Thanks!

Thanks fellas, I hope enjoy it. Gary is a terrific artist and a lovely guy, an auspicious start for this series!

Great work, ScoJo, very cool format! Not into movie posters at all, and not generally enthusiastic about the new reissue artwork(s) either but I got hooked and had to watch the whole interview.

Congrats on the new venture, ScoJ. I can already think of a small handful of folks who I would love to see interviewed about their art.

Ooh....looks like I've locked in a special artist indeed for Ep 2. A personal favourite of mine, going all the way back to li'l snot-nosed me ogling garish vhs horror boxes in video stores back in the early 80s *hint*

Coming in early April. Cheers to everyone who watched the pilot, appreciated!

@ScoJo - Enjoyed the first episode with Ghoulish Gary. Looking forward to checking out the next guest, cheers!

Thanks Mark! No, you the man. :)

Wait, did I just hear Gary Pullin say Vinyls!

Just wanted to say this is a great idea Scott. As an artist myself, Gary is someone I look up to and it was really good to hear him talk about his career like that. Fingers crossed you will be able to get Jason Edmiston too!

Haha....ahh you wag @mateo!

Thanks for watching @phil - yes I'm hoping to have Jason on later in the year. Like a lot of these great artists, very busy guy!

I can confirm (and am already hearing myself gushing like a fangirl) that the next episode will feature one of the very great ones Graham Humphreys.

Cheers!

Graham Humphreys! That's absolutely fantastic, eagerly looking forward to watching this.

Mateo it was actually serendipity that led me to the video and then back here! I still miss the good old days!

Mes amies...

Short teaser for the next episode. I geeked out pretty damn hard talking to this guy, thank fuck I cut myself from the interview! ;)

Sweet catch there ScoJo - this guy produced some of the most memorable film art from my 80s youth - and still going strong!

Very cool bro! Going to catch up on episode one tonight.

Hello guys

Well it's been a while coming but Episode 2 of Rated Art is now up - a fairly epic profile on Graham Humphreys covering his work from the 80s on iconic horror titles like THE EVIL DEAD and NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET up to his recent projects for Death Waltz, Arrow Video etc. Lots of fascinating tales of derring-do in the heady world of horror and fantasy illustration! I really enjoyed putting this one together, I hope you like it.

I've knocked up a little site for the show going forwards, bit of a work-in-progress just now but will snazz it up as I go...

Evening viewing sorted.

I've been looking forward to this, many thanks @ScoJo

Thanks, will check this out soon. The first one was great.

Finished the episode. Very insightful. Graham talks very easy and tells some great stories. Abrupt ending though :-)

Being a frustrated artist myself I love hearing others processes and approaches to their work... I'm off to watch it now!
