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.
