Creepy Classics & Monster Bash News! Art, Music & Monsters It seems fairly universal that growing up liking monster movies seemed to go hand-in-hand with drawing, writing and music. I grew up drawing dinosaurs, monsters…and even imagined making monster magazines and drawing covers….see above from when I was about eleven. Ironically I’ve gone on to publishing MONSTER BASH magazine and even used a Lorraine Bush painting for issue #23 that kinda mirrored that drawing from long ago. My grandfather would let me go to work with him a lot and would give me used poster boards from signs that college kids had put up. I could draw on the back of them (which was blank) with all kinds of magic markers. On the floor, near his desk drawing. Years later, my daughter would do the same thing…drawing monsters on the floor next to me while I worked. In my twenties and thirties I did a lot of pen-and-ink drawings and paintings of monsters (see to the left). It just seemed to be the thing I gravitated to. I always enjoyed reading and writing. The movies would inspire me to read things like H.P. Lovecraft and Ray Bradbury. I’d write stories on torn out notebook pages and on a beloved portable typewriter I had when I was in 6th and 7th grades. And, music seemed to always be a part of my life too. Playing my dad’s oldies albums of 1950s rock and roll endlessly. Remembering being in the barber shop, getting my hair cut when I was five or six. Looking through the comic books the barber had there for kids that waited. A Jerry Lewis comic book had a back cover ad for Aurora monster models…I was grooving on a careful examination of that when “I Want To Hold Your Hand” by The Beatles came on the barber’s radio. I loved it and the barber was talking to another older customer about those long-haired guys from England that were on the Ed Sullivan TV show. But, it’s always been art, music and monsters for me. The more fellow monster movie fans I meet, the more I see this as a pattern too. It’s all that pop culture wax that molded together to make us.
