I wonder who would buy such spooky paintings.

In my professional opinion, the palette is generally consistent and the central figure occupies a position roughly in the middle of the composition. The artist has boldly taken liberties with the concept of the fig roll, reducing the argument over a controversial sweet confection that some may initially regard as a biscuit or others a cake to a rather apt flat pack furniture concoction that rests in that no man's land between sofa and bench.

There has never been a more controversial challenge on our assumption on the role of the fig roll, or looking at the wider picture, goat rape.

In my professional opinion, this is fundamentally a panel taken from the series more commonly known as 'The Storyboard From The Movie Ghost'. Originally illuminated on vellum, the full work depicts how a female potter played by Demi Moore is the unknowing recipient of the Otherwordly advances of her deceased lover, himself plagued by small, hooded demons who drag souls to their own particular hell. In this panel we see Demi being held down by her agent and the producer as her soul, represented by the winged creature rising from her mouth, is extracted from her body as a sacrifice necessary to the completion of the film.

I thought this work by Jan Konůpek (1883-1950) was quite Fortean in style, Composition, 1930.

In my professional opinion, this is a doodle from Steven Speilberg's notepad depicting his innermost thoughts while discussing his future projects over the phone. Holding onto his vision, he visualises the aliens that feature in ET and Close Encounters. Yet as he draws them close towards him, he realises his legacy as the greatest director of fantasy movies is threatened by the looming dominance of Peter Jackson - represented here as the threatening All-Seeing Eye of Sauron.

In my professional opinion, this artistic visionary has perfectly predicted and encapsulated the current cultural crisis instigated by recent events in Radio 4's 'The Archers'. As the tragic and potentially doomed Helen tries to fend off the looming, sinister and overwhelming presence of Rob, the drama of the situation is made more emblematic and poignant by Helen wielding a necklace instead of a fucking huge pig butchering knife - her vulnerability more exposed than if she had the fucking huge pig butchering knife forces one to think ''Will I contact the helpline number given at the end of this broadcast? Or given that this is The Archers, should that be 'Shall I?''

In my inexpert opinion, that is a pile of books! :twisted:

That's an excellent painting of Cthulhu from life.
