Spotlight On: Squeedgemonster

No webcomic this week, just big, bright monsters as far as the eye can see

Squeedgemonster is a big fan of her fantasy creatures - all horns and claws and big fang-filled grins - but combines them with the bold and clean lines of a graffiti artist. The result is a range of leering and dangerous characters, exuding an air of ominous, deep-seated malevolence, yet full of colour and life and sheer exuberant vitality. If monsters and furry-themed album covers don't do it for you, Squeedgemonster recently knocked out a batch of drawings for Shark Week, which avoid being too caricatured while still retaining the energetic style that is so immediately and obviously hers.

The picture to your right is one of several bits of artwork she's done for http://www.lapfoxtrax.com/, and features one part of their duo of musical shark girls, Mischief and Mayhem; I can't honestly say their music does anything much for me, but it would be fairly remiss of me not to mention what is arguably the soundtrack to her art, especially when it ties in so heavily to the two characters she draws more than any other; besides, their site links straight to their store, should you fancy adorning your walls or self with her work, which you really should. It's slightly annoying that Squeedgemonster isn't taking any commissions right now, as you'd probably be seeing something of hers at the top of this blog right now if she were, but until she does, please do enjoy Mayhem about to toast someone with the evil cousin of Bullet Bill.
