About Ghoulish: The Art Of Gary Pullin

Product Description SECOND EDITION: New limited, exclusive cover! Ghoulish Gary Pullin. Remember that name. For more than ten years artist Gary Pullin has been taking art galleries, movie theater walls, and social media by storm with his fresh, inventive takes on film, music, and television properties. Equal parts nightmare and nostalgia, his instantly recognizable style always strikes a chord with fans, and his coveted and acclaimed pieces sell out in lightning speed. A go-to artist for official film artwork, concert merchandise, LP packaging, and endless other pieces of pop culture ephemera, Pullin has put pencil to paper for film posters such as Friday the 13th, A Nightmare on Elm Street, Halloween, The Big Lebowski, Vertigo, and The Babadook, soundtracks including Creepshow, Scream, Christine, and Tales from the Crypt, and concert merch for the likes of Jack White, Alice Cooper, and Misfits. Featuring hundreds of full-color illustrations, lavish cover galleries, and never-before-seen concept and process shots, Ghoulish: The Art of Gary Pullin is both a celebration of one artist's remarkable career and an indispensable snapshot of the thriving world of genre art. Go behind the scenes with Gary, let your jaw drop at his brilliant, long out of print artwork, and get ghoulishly inspired by an unforgettable pop artist. Review Like a modern Frankenstein, Gary reanimates nostalgia and unleashes it to bite your ass! - Guillermo del Toro / Filmmaker (The Shape of Water, Pan's Labyrinth) Does artist Gary Pullin deserve the nickname ‘Ghoulish’? The answer - spoiler alert - is ‘Yes!’ - Entertainment Weekly This may very well be the ultimate coffee table book for badass horror movie art.  - Bloody Disgusting Pullin is a force-of-nature. The horror genre’s go-to-boy for re-imagining Freddy Krueger, Jason Voorhees, Michael Myers, et al. - Dread Central Eye-popping images from an incredible career spanning two decades. - Rue Morgue 5/5. The ultimate coffee table book from one of the top artists in the horror world. - Scream (UK) Stuff we love. Ghouls go wild in the heart of ‘Ghoulish’ Gary Pullin. - Sy Fy Network An ecstasy of Ghoulish visions - Branded in the 80s I could devour his devilish designs for hours on end. He is a horror original, and the bounties of this masterful collection are boundless! - Mick Garris / Filmmaker (Stephen King's The Stand, The Sleepwalkers) Strong, essential, sharp. Gary captures the essence of a story with just a few elements. It's fantastic to watch all the artwork he produced over the years, and we have enjoyed every image that he has created for the band. - Maurizio Guarini / Goblin Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission.

INTRODUCTION It is hard to pinpoint the exact alchemy of color, design, smarts, and emotion that leaps off the page when you encounter good pop art, but whatever it is, the work of Gary Pullin qualifies, with a visual punch that lingers in the mind. Pullin’s work is so consistently inventive, filled with visual puns (the round clown nose on his Tim Curry It poster is a red balloon) and perspective shifts (a close-up of the rotten flesh of a corpse’s face is the hilly ridge of a graveyard in his recent Night of the Living Dead poster) that the mind ping-pongs back and forth across the image, building a story.
