Our Last Batch of SHANE JONES
MONSTERRIFIC COOLNESS
Shane is my Welsh friend and one of my favorite genre cartoonists/artists evah!!!! He draws everything that this blog is "about" and that I've loved my entire life (gorillas, monsters, squids, wolf men, super heroes, mummies.... the list is endless; Shane, how did you get inside rogue evolent's head? )
His art has rightly earned him my blog's HONOR as our OFFICIAL HALLOWEEN ARTIST FOR 2011.
I urge you (again) to go to his blog site and become a follower: http://thisishorrorbusiness.blogspot.com/ You are also invited (Christmas is coming!) to buy his art booklets from blurb.com
I love the "blocky" geo-metric shapes of his monsters! Simplicity is sometimes simply the "spot-on" success story! I also like the first "sticker" (immediately above) of a "Misfits" type character.
His "frog creature" (above) is cute and is almost a "cross" between an anime styled "Pokemon character" and Abe Sapien from the Hellboy series. I love it. 
You see above the front-cover of Shane's booklet THE BLACK ARTS BOOK 1 which he kindly sent me a copy of as a gift. The bigger and better they are.... sometimes the more generous and friendly they are. SHANE is just a "PRINCE" of a gentleman! 
I also appreciate Shane's love for good music and genre-related bands like ZOMBINA and the Skeletones and the GHASTLY ONES. Above, you see the back cover of his book featuring a nice caricature of one of the G.O's!
And not content with just sending me a bunch of really wonderful art stuff from the U.K. , Shane went to the extra trouble of drawing me a special picture of one of my favorite characters of his (Maxwell the Gill Man, version Mk. 1 ) and autographing it for me.
Shane has since modified Maxwell in order to hopefully make him more appealing to young children (for a book project)... but I like this earlier, rougher, version.
Go to his blog, tonight or tomorrow.... you can surf for hours.... the guys is as prolific as he is FUN/GOOD.... a perfect
HALLOWEEN TREAT!
