Halloween Month: The Art of Rob Kelly

Today, I am going to spotlight the wonderful art of Rob Kelly.

A little about Rob, from his own site:

"I have been a professional Illustrator and Graphic Designer for over ten years. I love being an artist--it's the greatest gig in the world--and I like to think the enthusiasm and pride I have in my chosen profession comes across in my work. You make the call!

My illustrations have appeared in and on, among other things, nationwide advertising campaigns, magazines, consumer packaging, posters, newspapers, greeting cards, and comic books."

Rob is an Internet friend, as well, but the reason I am showcasing him today is his monster art.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Here is one of his posters for his imagined re-release of the Universal Monster pics to theaters:



Just wonderful. He has a whole bunch more on his site, all just as great.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Rob also has a series of Monster PSAs. You have to see them to appreciate them:



Again, just great. Love his style. More of these at his site, as well.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You can view his Monster art here.

You can even purchase the first four Monster PSAs as stickers here!

You can browse through The Namtab Store feauturing the Official Products of Rob Kelly Illustration.
