How cool is that?<\/p>\n<p>Well, I wanted to know whose work it was so that I could blog it here in the proper manner (&#8220;proper&#8221; meaning to give credit where credit is due). My Googlish search led me to a place called <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hangedmanstudio.blogspot.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Studio Space<\/a> (though the site URL &#8220;hangedmanstudio&#8221; is a nice alternative). It&#8217;s a blogspot owned by Malcolm McClinton, an artist whose illustrative work graces book covers, magazines and assorted genre markets.<\/p>\n<p>To my delight I found that I liked the rest of his work, too &#8212; <em>and<\/em> that he has painted some excellent giant monsters and zombies. I asked him if I could put a few up here and he said I could. So take a look (click on the images to see the full-size versions) and then go visit his Studio.<\/p>\n<p><font color=\"#800000\"><strong>Giant Monsters<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/roberthood.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/05\/aaaaaaah.jpg\" title=\"Rampaging Robot\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/roberthood.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/05\/aaaaaaah.jpg\" alt=\"Rampaging Robot\" height=\"704\" width=\"440\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Malcolm says he painted this <strong>Rampaging Robot<\/strong> as an exercise in perspective.
