Geek Art: Tom Whalen’s Pulp Menagerie Mondo Art Show
Mondo has released a few pieces of art that Tom Whalen has whipped up for his solo art show exhibit called “Pulp Menagerie.” The illustrations you see here feature Godzilla, Batman, and Mad Monster Party.
The show takes place from May 22nd through June 6th at the Mondo Gallery in Austin, Texas. Here’s a little background on the artist:
Raised by feral robot wolves in the backwoods of Northeastern Pennsylvania and nourished on a steady diet of comic books, Arnold Schwarzenegger movies and Swedish Fish, Tom Whalen has a high-pitched, metallic voice in his head that compels him to endlessly churn out all sorts of vectorized madness. Infatuated with all things giant, Japanese and city-destroying, Tom is a confessed monster junkie who cannot wait for earth to be overrun by either zombies, werewolves or vampires so that he can field test the wooden-stake-firing chain gun that he’s been working on in his basement for the past 40 or so years. He also adores kittens. Introduced to graphic art by the likes of ditko, lee, mcfarlane, and simonson at an early age, Tom formally studied illustration and design at Kutztown University before working as a graphic designer and an editorial illustrator.
In addition to his work with Mondo, Tom has created artwork for entertainment giants like Disney, Warner Brothers, Nickelodeon, Paramount as well as musical artists The Beatles, The Black Keys, Jack White, Primus and more.
