Godzilla

What Monster Art site would be complete with out at least one ode to the King of the Monsters?

This one is a little rushed, but since its been so long since I have posted any new stuff I wanted to get it out there. This is the first of what I am sure will be many Godzilla portraits.

My love of the big G goes back as far as I can remember, before werewolves and vampires had entered my consciousness Godzilla had already plowed his way through my innocent mind and left a trail of destruction that I would never ever forget.

When I was in elementary school in Grand Junction, Colorado they would show 16 mm films in the gymnasium fridays after school, and more often then not the feature would be either a Godzilla or Gamera film. I often wonder exactly who it was in the community that was a Kaiju fan, I wish I could find him (or her) and thank them for giving me the opportunity to see these fantastic films for the first time on the relative big screen. I vividly remember sitting on the uncomfortable gym floor, eating 10¢ popcorn from a brown paper bag and just staring up in awe as the good people of Tokyo fought to save their city, or Gamera waged battle to protect the innocent children from a giant extraterrestrial threat.

Those were happy days indeed!

Todays portrait goes out to my good friend Dash, who is probably the biggest Godzilla fan I have ever met. If you haven't already done so you should stop by his site and check out some of his Monster Art.
