A larger but heavily-watermarked version of this image can be found at ArtSlant with the caption “Nick Hernandez, Monster’s Embrace, 2007, Acrylic on Canvas. This is consistent with the visible signature on the artwork, which could easily be the artist’s “NH” initials. No further information about this artist could be discovered.

Tumblr favorite #1835: Mondo Bride

According to this article at Entertainment Weekly, the artwork above is a newly-commissioned 2014 poster for the famous 1935 horror film The Bride Of Frankenstein. The poster was commissioned by Mondo (which is the merchandise arm of the acclaimed regional art-movie theater chain Alamo Drafthouse) in honor of MondoCon, which seems to have been a gathering of horror artists and fans that took place in September 2014.

The poster was commissioned from artist Mike Mignola, a comic book artist perhaps most famous for Hellboy and related projects. There’s a considerable gallery of his work visible on the artist’s website.

Tumblr favorite #1833: Monsters

This artwork is the blown-up upper-right quadrant of a work that appears on Flickr attributed as “Monsters by Michael Lark”. It’s unclear whether “Monsters” here is intended to serve as a title or as a description:

monsters-michael-lark

Although the attribution on Flickr could not be specifically confirmed, it nonetheless seems highly plausible. Michael Lark is a prolific and long-serving comic book artist whose FaceBook photo albums contain a great deal of art that is quite similar in style to these Monsters. The one-word “Lark” attribution offered at the source Tumblr is in accord.

Tumblr favorite #1831: Sewing her own seams

Original post here. This image was researched by Bacchus at ErosBlog as part of the “Γ commission.” The research was originally published at Hedonix as “Γ 063 – Sewing Your Own Seams.” Here is what Bacchus found.

Although this Bride of Frankenstein themed artwork is sometimes to be found on Pinterest and elsewhere attributed to cartoonist Dan DeCarlo, that attribution appears incorrect. Cheesecake cartoonist and self-described pencil-jockey Rock Baker posted it to his blog under the title Preymates as part of a themed set of six cartoons with this explanation:

The idea was to do a series of Dan DeCarlo style horror-themed pinup cartoons. Jeff Austin and I have thus far completed these examples.

For interest, one of the other cartoons in the series features a sexy hooded executioner fielding pleas from four different chained men competing to be the next customer for her beheading ax.
