Monstros and Grills

This is a pin-up I did for Denis St. John's recently released "Monsters and Girls: Amelia" volume 3.

Playing with the sort of "cheesecake" aspect, while trying to keep it somewhat unsettling at the same time. It was actually really fun. And all of this was, of course, inspired by...


Okay, so I am a dude that really enjoys horror movies. Because of this, Denis St. John is one of my favorite cartoonists ever.

His comics are ridiculous, expressive, and over the top, and - most importantly - frickin' scary. And especially around this time of year, what more could you ask for? The third volume of his current comic just came out, and the first two are available to purchase through his website. You should give them a look! http://denisstjohn.blogspot.com/
