🎃 FROM THE VAULT

Here it is — my first paid album cover.

Created in 1987 for Wrath's "Mutants", this project arrived while I was still in college, learning airbrush techniques and finding my footing as a professional illustrator.

The experience opened doors beyond the artwork itself, including meeting legendary guitarist and producer Ronnie Montrose and getting a firsthand look inside a professional recording studio.

Interestingly, the album was initially released in a different form as "Nothing to Fear" with alternate packaging. Years later, it was gratifying to discover the material being re-released in a form much closer to the band's original vision.

The artwork itself was painted in acrylic on illustration board, with the title hand-painted on acetate and overlaid during production.

One of three album covers I was fortunate enough to create during those early years.

🤘

🎨 FROM THE PROCESS — circa 1987–88

First year into college at the University of Wisconsin–Parkside, just beginning to learn airbrush techniques… and landing album cover work during the infancy of thrash metal.

Working on the cover painting for Num Skull’s “Ritually Abused” as the album headed toward its June 1988 release — a record that would later go through several re-releases and become something of a cult favorite in underground metal circles. 🤘

One of three album covers I was fortunate enough to create for a major record label during that era.

🩸 THE UGLY (1997)

New cover art created for Unearthed Classics’ collector Blu-ray release of the cult horror film "The Ugly".

It’s great to see the film finally receive a 4K restoration and collector’s edition release.

Many horror fans may already be familiar with this unsettling psychological nightmare, which was also featured in Boogeymen: The Killer Compilation (Universal, 2001). 🎬

💀 FROM THE VAULT

Album cover artwork created for MonsterTrux’s "Grind" back in 2002.

Acrylic on Bristol board, painted during a time when horror punk, monster culture, skate graphics, and underground music scenes were all colliding in the best ways possible.

The band’s lead vocalist Matt was a friend from Chicago, which made this one especially fun to create.

And yes… there’s even a Svengoolie song on the album. 🔥

🐺 FROM THE PROCESS

A look back at the original “Curse of the Werewolf” painting on the easel.

Natural light always reveals something different in traditional monster art — the textures, color shifts, and atmosphere seem to come alive a little differently outdoors.

Part of the Monster Masterpieces series. 🎨

“IT'S IN THE TREES…IT'S COMING! 🌲👁‍🗨

Curse of the Demon (1957) set the standard for suspense in British horror. Its atmosphere, tension, and unforgettable demon design still haunt audiences today.

…Art for the Monster Masterpieces Vol. 2 card series, celebrating the monsters that defined a genre.

🔥 If this demon appeared in the woods, which classic monster would you want at your side — or would you run first? 🧟‍♂️

🎨 FROM THE VAULT…
In the 1980s, Kenosha, Wisconsin might’ve won the world record for most bars and taverns per city block🍺🎸. Home to the once almighty American Motors and Snap-On Tools, it came with a vigorous rock/metal band scene.

Without much formal art training until college, I set out to attract work painting backdrops, murals, and poster art for an eager outlaw crowd✏️💥.

Some of the earliest works pictured here are from 1986–1988, when these murals and signs started to shape my path.

Some books stay with you for life.

This first printing of *Rick Griffin* from 1980 was one of the earliest art books that truly opened the door for me creatively. The lettering, atmosphere, surreal composition, and sheer visual energy had a huge influence on the way I eventually approached comics, rock posters, album covers, and horror artwork.

A few pages from one of the books that helped shape the visual DNA behind Monsterman Graphic. 🖤📚

Served up all nice and frosty ❄️
Classic 1951 The Thing by Howard Hawks, as featured on Scary Monsters #124.

This is my variant cover art, originally only available to subscribers — not many get this version. The detail on the icy reflections really brings it to life.

Rock N Roll Comics #18 — Alice Cooper
Published by Revolutionary Comics, December 1990.

One of the painted covers I created during my years working with Revolutionary Comics in the early ’90s.

Still have this signed copy from Alice himself tucked away in the archives.

Funny looking back at these now… you can already see some of the horror and monster influences that would later evolve into Monsterman Graphic.

More pieces from the archives soon.

FROM THE PROCESS 💀

Jungle Rot tour shirt artwork from 2008.

Pulled out some of the original progression shots after hearing about the new album, Cruel Face of War.

Swipe through for the rough concept sketch, pen & ink stage, and final shirt graphic.

Always loved digging into gritty ink-heavy work like this.
