Bringing Monsters To Life The Art of Ghoulish Gary By Rebecca Bowslaugh The first impression of “Ghoulish” Gary Pullin is a blast of violent colour—pop culture meeting mass murder. The subject of his art nearly overshadows his talent as an illustrator; monsters and creatures that follow you home through the shadows and wake you in the night. Not only are his creatures ablaze with frightening detail, but also the complexities of each design make it impossible to look away. Pullin is Rue Morgue magazine’s original art director, the 2009 Artist of the Year in the Rondo Hatton Awards, and has artwork featured around North America in galleries, movie posters, and on vinyl albums. Our fascination with the man behind the proverbial horror mask competes with our delight in his work; InSpades Magazine took pleasure in peeling away the layers that make up Ghoulish Gary. 58 inspadesmag.com nothing will ever live up to the dread you’ve conjured up in your mind www.ghoulishgary.com Twitter: @ghoulishgary Instagram: @ghoulishgary Vertigo is a trademark and copyright of Universal Studios.
