Known for his creepy, texture-rich style, Monstark creates weird and monstrous art which may be found anywhere from galleries to your local saloon, and which is available for purchase in many forms. Though he lives on a quiet, wooded hill north of San Francisco (it seemed like a great place to meet werewolves) he and his work can regularly be found at art, comics and extreme metal shows up and down the American West Coast.

Inky the Octopus rumored heading to the Port of LA

News story

Driven by a sentience from down below, Inky the Octopus escaped his enclosure through a small opening. He slid across the floor during the night and squeezed his body through a narrow pipe leading to open water. A trail of slime and ichor was all that was left. Octopuses have broken out of sealed observation containers and closed aquariums; some escaped multiple times to eat the inhabitants of nearby aquariums. Whispers of the Great Lord' Cthulhu's awakening have circled the globe. Inky, not wanting to miss His invocation, chose to ride the El Nino currents. We fear for Inky's safety.
