Fantagraphics
is such a wonderful
book publishing house.
In 2007, they released
the compilation Beasts!,
a 'Pictorial Schedule
of Traditional Hidden Creatures
from the Interest of 90 Modern Artistans'.
Edited by Jacob Covey,
the book features artists'
own renditions of monsters.
Art: Tom Gauld
Tyler Stout's Kukuwaq monster
(featured below)
is a particular favorite.
Following the Vol. 1 release,
in 2008, they released
Beasts! Book Two,
which features
an entirely new lineup
of illustrators creating beasts
of all shapes and sizes.
Jon Vermilyea (featured in the banner)
makes an appearance
and all is well in the world.
Head over the Fantagraphics store
to grab both of these
great coffee table books.
Grab a notepad and create
your own monsters,
the ones that are floating
inside your head,
waiting to be released.
