Silly Sexy Monster Classics
Hey look, my zine is done! Actually it's been done a for little while and I've just been sitting on it. Just enough to miss Halloween, of course, for no good reason, so I hope you're not completely spooked out just yet.
If you're interested in buying a copy there's now a shop on my ko-fi. I'm printing it on pretty sturdy paper, if you'd like to use it as a coloring book... or just enjoy the art!
I've been watching a lot of classic monster flicks this past year which gave me some inspiration to create this zine. It's a small collection of seven illustrations with my own twist on these old goodies.
Let me present to you: Silly Sexy MONSTER Classics!
Here are the main inspirations for each illustration you'll find in the booklet:
- Dracula (1931)
- King Kong (1933)
- Werewolf of London (1935)
- The Fly (1958)
- Frankenstein (1931), Bride of Frankenstein (1935)
- Night of the living dead (1968)
- Little shop of horrors (1960)
It feels good to have completed a project, albeit small in scope. I have the habit of setting the bar way too high and just beyond my abilities; inevitably abandoning most endeavors. Aiming high usually gives a good challenge and keeps me learning, which is all good, but for once there's a product in the end.
I should really set my sights on making a small comic next, though storytelling isn't my strong suit. It's one of those things that I should just jump into without pretense to start learning it; not trying to make a magnum opus, first thing. Let's see if I got any ideas next time.
