Description
The second half of my commission with is a group photo of some of Travis' favorite horror writers and performers and proved to be extremely difficult what with me having to do a group image full of caricatures of real people. Thank you, Travis. Next time, ask me for drawings of other cartoon characters. They're a lot easier.*laughs* Jokes aside, I did my best to include a bit of something each person is famous for. From left to right we have:
George Romero as a zombie, naturally
Robert Bloch, wielding a deadly knife as in the classic scene from his book "Psycho"
Lon Chaney, Sr. reprising his role of Quasimodo from "The Hunchback of Notre Dame"
H.P. Lovecraft revealing a possible family resemblance between him and Cthulhu
Vincent Price as one of his iconic vampire characters
Alfred Hitchcock with a decidedly sinister-looking bird perched atop his bald head
Boris Karloff as Frankenstein's monster
Stephen King along with a hand puppet of one of his many nom de plumes (or alternate personalities he uses to write different books)
Edgar Allen Poe looking fittingly paranoid and clutching a bottle of dram. Or absynthe. Or whatever poison of choice he's currently chugging back.

This is pretty cool. If I had drawn this picture, I would've drawn Stephen King as an evil clown, if you get what I'm getting at here.

That's one of the things I love about your work; you always add that extra touch of wacky, surreal, or just plain original creativity to both your original works and your fan works in illustration and in writing! This rocks! But I'm sorry I gave ya a difficult assignment with this. I just thought that there was a sense of subtle irony in portraying some of the most influential and legendary shapers of horror in a style like yours, and all together in the same pic! But I'll make sure to take note of that for any other requests I send you later on. Thanks again, Matt!

*laughs* It's fine. I just had a hard time squeezing nine separate characters together who were all supposed to look close enough to real-world people. Fortunately enough for me, though, I've actually doodled Vincent Price, Alfred Hitchcock, and Edgar Allen Poe before. Anyway, I'm glad you like it! Be sure to send me your mailing address in a note so I can send you the originals, too!

Pretty funny stuff. One point though that HP Lovecraft wore glasses and most of the pics of Stephen King I have seen the glasses he wore I remember being square. Still funny stuff. Also perhaps Lovecraft holding the Necronomicon would have been a good idea.

Ah, that's a good one, too. I figured Cthulhu was more recognizable though.

That's what Stephen King looks like?
Oh, you're going to hate me for saying this but that caricature looks an awful lot like...you!
If you tidied up your hair a bit.
Naturally I'm not a big horror buff, but I least identified Price, Hitchcock and Poe.

I was actually thinking that myself as I was drawing it. Stephen King looks somewhat like an older version of me, with kind of a pinched, upturned nose.
