SHANE JONES: tROAD's 2011 HALLOWEEN ARTIST!

When I started this blog (way back in the Fall of 2009) I essentially did it for two people: my best and oldest friend Bookman187 (I call him Spoiler) and Kansas City based Cartoonist/Toy Creator/Animator/Artist/Creative Genius Mike Adair. I love these two guys. Check out their respective web sites/blogs at:

But the other, unplanned-for and unintended benefit I received from this foray into the blogosphere, was all the guys and gals I've met via cyber-space. You have all been a true joy and delight. Interacting with all of you talented contributors, bloggers, artists, writers, followers, creators, and just genre-influenced "gems" has been a huge reward for me.

One of the best of the best!!!!! is my Welsh friend (from Wales, UK) SHANE JONES!!!!! Shane is "hands down" the best light/horror artist/cartoonist IN DA' WORLD!!!! (or at least in the non-USA world; Keith Seifert/KW is also at the top of My Olympus (Mt. Vasaria?)

I really wish you'd become Shane's "follower" as his blog is chocked full of his daily (or sometimes weekly) sketches, ideas, and finished projects. His blog (as I've mentioned before, and will continue to mention :) ) is called: this is HORROR BUSINESS and can be accessed at: http://thisishorrorbusiness.blogspot.com/

Shane is not only mega-talented, but also mucho-generous. He recently sent me in the post a CHRISTMAS in September gift by sending a package of some of his artistic "goodies." See the above art (from off one of his Post Cards) of a "wolfie" type monstuh! I love his style.

Shane has given me permission to copy and post some of his cool stuff.

He is just a great guy... and, he has now been chosen by me as the
