General Witchfinders - The British Horror Podcast (and Zine)

A stylized, high-contrast digital illustration of a man with long hair, a beard, and glasses, wearing a tall, wide-brimmed 17th-century style hat (reminiscent of Matthew Hopkins from Witchfinder General). The image uses a two-tone black and mustard yellow color palette with a woodcut-style texture. At the bottom, the text "HAPPY BIRTHDAY JON" is written in a bold, purple block font with a black outline.

Join us in wishing a happy birthday (for yesterday) to another third of the podcast hosting team, @jonpountney1.bsky.social : the man with expert knowledge on cars featured in British horror films of the 60s and 70s.

A black pen (in a crosshatch technique) and black printing ink (applied with a roller) illustration on off white paper of a Signalman and his box. The man stands at the foot of the stairs to his signalbox which is situated at the bottom of a rocky and wooded ravine. The box is illuminated from within, its light casts shadows of the man onto a railway track, the track runs into a dark and damp tunnel. Outside of the mouth of the tunnel stands a ghostly figure waving its arms, one across its face the other in the air. A gloomy and atmospheric scene.

I’m going to make prints of this one soon.

The Signalman.

All of these linoprints are now available to buy on my website! I'm so excited to finally be able to launch it!

image showing the cover art for a podcast titled General Witchfinders: The British Horror Podcast. The artwork features a stylized, woodcut-style illustration in shades of mustard yellow and black. It depicts three men dressed in 17th-century attire, including wide-brimmed hats and large collars, resembling stereotypical witchfinders or Puritans. Below the illustration, the title General Witchfinders is written in a large, white, gothic-style font. Underneath that, a purple banner contains the subtitle The British Horror Podcast in a bold, sans-serif white font. At the very bottom of the image, there is a small profile icon and text that reads podcasts by revoltingross.

The image is a screenshot of a digital notification, likely from a professional networking platform like LinkedIn. It features: • A circular profile picture on the left showing a small globe on a light-colored surface. • Text that reads: "Congratulate Christopher Lee for 6 years at Dorset Council UK". • A "Say congrats" button below the text, enclosed in a rounded rectangular border.
