Alan Robert, member of rock band Life of Agony, had this to say about this latest collection of mashed-up monstrous masterpieces:
“Michelangelo is probably rolling in his grave right about now,” laughs Beauty of Horror creator Alan Robert. “But I truly developed a newfound respect for art history during the course of illustrating this book. Mostly, because I used to sleep through a lot of those classes during my time at The School of Visual Arts. So this time around, I dug in deep, did the research, and added my own twisted, tongue-in-cheek sensibility into the tributes. I hope it inspires colorists to go back and check out the Masters.”
The Beauty of Horror: Tarot Coloring Book is out August 1st from IDW
