“Monsters changed my life” says artist William Stout.
As a young boy, he loved dinosaurs and
monster movies and, with the generous encouragement of a schoolteacher, he
practiced and perfected his love of drawing. By the early Seventies, he was
assisting Russ Manning on the Tarzan
newspaper strip and collaborating with Harvey Kurtzman and Will Elder on Little
Annie Fanny for Playboy. Over time, he would contribute startling designs for such films as Conan, The Mist and Pan's Labyrinth.
Today, Bill Stout is a giant among fantasy artists, and his exacting dinosaur illustrations have earned him recognition as an expert in the field of paleontology.

The fabulous pen and ink Frankenstein here — click the image to see it bigger — is Stout’s
heartfelt homage to Jack Davis’ and his famous "Six-Foot Frankenstein" illustration.

be blown away.

Love your Blog. Great job. There is so much here about Frankenstein, it must have taken a lot of research to find so much information. Thanks for sharing the great art work.
