Watch the lamp behind her. Last Call is an original horror series we're making in code. Every body turns up at 2 a.m. under a streetlight that died that same minute, and something is standing in the dark. Episode one plays as recovered tapes. Sets, creature, tape look and sound effects are all code. Did you catch it in the rewind? Full piece with frames: https://contra.com/p/AekWMsNm https://givemeprompts.com/lab/

Tales of Mystery & Notification 🕯️🔴

What if Harry Clarke had illustrated our nightmares? In 1919 he drew Edgar Allan Poe's. I asked him to draw ours.

I went digging through the Public Domain Image Archive and found Clarke's 1919 plates for Poe's Tales of Mystery and Imagination: black-and-white ink by a Dublin stained-glass artist, all long pale fingers and dread. I trained ten of them into a Recraft style, Clarke Ink 1919.

Then I retold ten of Poe's tales as the horrors of the smartphone age. Each plate sits beside Clarke's original, and each caption is his own line with one word swapped: "the heart beat on with a muffled sound" became "the phone buzzed on". A man is buried alive in his inbox. The masked guest is a 99+ badge.

The only colour in the whole book is the red notification dot. The film ends inside Recraft, showing how it was made. @Recraft

Happy Halloween. The style is public, so try it yourself 👇

This is an example of how simple art can be turned into films. Everything is so refined and polished. I genuinely wanna know how did you come up with this?

Halloween is the one night a year dark patterns are on theme.

Built two cancel screens for a concept photo app in code with Claude Code. Same plan, same customer about to leave. Which one keeps more of them, A or B?
