Sadly, both Zombie Tales and Cthulhu Tales were cancelled(not my fault!)but a new 4-issue horror anthology arose from the ashes. I was invited to do a full set of variant covers, but only found the time for two since i was due to start on Channel Evil.
Not that all the deadline panic was necessary, since the comic never came out, and according to my 'source' at BOOM!, it's highly unlikely it's turning up next year either.
So, just in case i get run over by a No:7 bus, or aliens invade, or the world ends early to piss off the Mayans, i thought i should let one lurch out of the vault.
A Monster-mutant clown with a hook, what's not to love?
lookin SO fresh, dude. Love your use of negative shapes
ReplyDeleteHow'd you land those gigs? sounds like a dream come true.
Love it! That is killer.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work. Love the guady colours contrasting your usual sharp lines and rich blacks.
ReplyDeleteShame the comics don't seem to be forthcoming.
Looks great Shane!
ReplyDeleteMy fear of clowns just tripled with this single image!!!
Inspired coloring!
Tis a shame that it won't be published. I would have been over the moon to have my little tale under that lov-er-ly cover.
ReplyDeleteYou certainly do seem to work on the awesome projects. I hope more lurch out of the vault!

paul - thankyou, sir. the original colors were far more subdued, but it didn't leap out enuff for me.
certainly wasn't a cover that needed the gentle touch.
bucky - thanks, mate. if my art helps deepen a phobia, i know i'm doing something right.
gary - i'm sure your twisted yarn will see the blood-stained light of day.
