Side Show Monkey (ARTIST SPOTLIGHT)

Halloween may be over for some but not for me, and definitely not for artist David Hartman! This guy does everything, illustrates, directs, storyboards… and he’s even worked on alot of modern animation that me and my kid actually watch together. But for our purposes today here at The Horrors of It All, please click David’s weblink below and take a gander at some of his truly most evil creations! http://www.sideshowmonkey.com/
