For this week's article I'd like to clue everyone in on a very talented pal of mine, Bill Bronson, who I graduated art school with. His first publication, Chicks & Monsters, from SQP Publishing, collecting his illustrations and original stories, is on sale now and I thought some of you might enjoy viewing his work.
Here's the skinny on this new title from SQP:
CHICKS AND MONSTERS 1
By Bill Bronson
Artist/writer Bill Bronson takes a mockin' and rockin' look at horror and grrl-power, and comes up with a crunchy mix of tricks and treats he calls "Chicks & Monsters". A multi-flavored package of cruel-to-be-cool comics and painfully delightful drawings, Bronson's work can be described as a kind of punk Charles Addams for the new millennium. Stories include The Postmortem Girls in "The Band Practice that Woke the Dead", The Mothball Jawbreaker Gang in "Clean Up on Aisle 666", and The South Side Saints do battle with rowdy hobgoblins who don't know when to leave! All this and pages of pin-ups, sketches, and other decidedly demented and morbidly fascinating artwork! Cute witches, hot vampire chicks, and girl golems with crushes on undead!
64 pages, black and white, $9.95.
You can check out a few examples of Bill's artwork below, but give his official website at www.BillBronson.com a visit and be sure to order a copy of his book from SQP Publishing soon!
