Inspired by fond childhood memories of Halloween Nights watching the late night creature features dressed in homemade costumes chowing down on trick or treat bounty as well as walking down the horror isles of the local video store obsessing over the cover art to all the movies he was too young to watch...but always imagining what they could be. Over the years the self-taught artist has created illustrations and paintings for various bands from around the globe, spoken-word albums, books covers, and comic books. When not at his desk drawing and watching scary movies with his mischievous pup Rocky, you can find him helping usher in new generations of monster fans at Tom Devlin's Monster Museum in Boulder City, Nevada.
