David W. (no last name given) is an artist and a monster buff, and on his blog he offers up all sorts of classic monster souvenirs along with his original creations. On "Monster Monday" he'll post a monster drawing he did when he was a kid...

And the more slick, professional drawing he did of the same monster as an adult...

Call me crazy, but I kind of prefer the kid version! It has a nice, Tim Burton-ish scratchiness to it.
He also takes old concept drawings that Disney Imagineers did for the Haunted Mansion ride, and he animates them. It's a strange hobby, there's no denying that, but you also can't deny that the results are pretty spook-tacular. (Insert horrible Crypt Keeper-esque laugh here.)

Thanks for the nice post about my blog.
ReplyDeleteIt's funny "Cavalcade of Freaking Awesome" was my second choice for a blog name.
