The designer I worked with for the Creepshow diorama “Something to Tide You Over” added the project to her website. I have to say it looks pretty awesome! I love the way she highlights the four panels created for the project, but then uses the images to go from mock-ups to an animated GIF of the final window—it’s super slick.

Also, I do like this little blurb of the project as well:
Jim Groom has been writing for BavaTuesdays.com for almost two decades, exploring topics like culture, ed tech, and his passion for restoring stand-up arcade machines. In 2024, he launched Bava Studio in Trento, Italy as a physical extension of his writings and creative projects. As part of the studio’s design, he included a display window featuring dioramas inspired by media moments he has written about or been captivated by over the years. I was tasked with designing and drawing the illustrations for the first display, based on “Something to Tide Me Over,” a story from the Creepshow comic series, which was also adapted for the 1982 anthology film of the same name.
It really captures the spirit of both this project and bava.studio brilliantly. It is timely that Bea should wrap this project up on her portfolio because I am getting ready to dismantle this diorama and make way for the next one which will hopefully be ready for the dead of winter 🙂 If you are looking for an illustrator and all-around awesome artist, look no further than Bea Kotuk—she’s the bees-knees! That said, you might have to wait a bit given she is already being drafted for the next diorama “Come and Play with Us.” Rock, not rot!
This is such a fun project – can’t wait to see what you come up with for The Thing. Animatronic spider-head climbing the walls? Entrail-flailing thing-dog? flamethrower-heated wire testing Petri dishes?
