  • “The Nail” original drawing by Michael Hussar

    There is an original drawing available from Michael Hussar. The work was made for a collaborative project with Steve Niles (auther of 30 days of Night) and Rob Zombie. The drawing was used for the cover of their comic “The Nail”

    The drawing is unframed, 11″ x 17″ and like all of Michael’s drawings, and paintings for that matter, looks amazing. The cool thing about this drawing, besides looking completely wicked, is that there is the addition of red, the blood color used in the piece. So the drawing has a little but of color in it, and really helps to draw the viewers eye to the face of the character.

    Head on over to gawk at it, or bid: The Nail Drawing by Michael Hussar

  • “Boy of Hell” by Erik Jones

    The “Let Them Eat Pancakes : The Hellboy Art Show!” has been up at the Uberbot site for the past week now. I wrote about a print that Stuntkid has in the show in my last weeks article for SFWeekly. Well I thought I would feature one of the original works of the show, and my favorite one has to be “Boy of Hell” by Erik Jones. He has an amazing style of painting and never ceases to amaze me, weather it’s paintings of beautiful women or portraits like this one that just seem to punch you right in the face.

    This painting is made from house paint and markers, and from the looks of the site, it’s already framed up for you. head on over to the site to check out the show, and Erik’s painting.

    As you’ll notice in the sidebar the Creep Machine has a new sponsor. Along with artists John Cebollero & R.S. Connett, Virtu Gallery out of Indiana has jumped on board.

    Virtu Art Gallery is a great site, filled with all sorts of amazing prints, from artists like Mark Ryden, Lori Earley, Glenn Barr, Audrey Kawasaki and many others. If you get a chance head on over and take a look at what they have to offer. VirtuArtgallery.com

    The Creep Machine is a one person outfit, working on every area of the site like news, interviews, finding new featured artists and trying my best to bring art that you might not have seen before to your monitors every week. So every bit helps.

  • In The Store: “Zombie .. Planet of the Apes” by Heather Watts

    This painting by Heather Watts was done for the “Attack of the B Movie Show”. It was one of the more unique works in the show, as not only is it super cool looking, but it’s acrylic on velvet!

    Heather Watts is known for her Tiki genre paintings, and this one fits quite well in that scheme, but it also hits the zombie fan. The figure in the works in a character from the Planet of the Apes, but as you can see it’s been “zombified!!”. This piece looks amazing in person, and honestly makes me want to design a room around this painting. This one is still available in the Creep Store and the price is very nice.
