Next year is already shaping up to be an exciting one, and I'm looking forward to the Mad Monster Party Convention in Charlotte, North Carolina on March 22-24, 2013. This is a huge horror, science fiction and fantasy con that has a pretty good selection of guests for all types of fans. Celebrities like Hammer scream queen Veronica Carlson (Frankenstein Must Be Destroyed), Lon Chaney's great grandson, Ron Chaney (House of the Wolf Man), Bruce Campbell, David Naughton (An American Werewolf in London) and not to mention a Jaws reunion!

However, the guest that thrills me the most is legendary Haruo Nakajima, the greatest suit actor ever to wear the Godzilla suit, and the FIRST. Click on the link above to see his great body of work. Be amazed! Some of you may have met him at a G-Fest before, but each time he graces our presence is a meaningful one.

I love EVERYTHING Godzilla-related. War of the Gargantuas is also a favorite movie of mine. I pretty much watched all the big monster movies when I was younger. They're fascinating to me. No CGI back then. It was all blood, sweat and tears! The Godzilla suit was so heavy, Nakajima literally sweat his soul out each time he wore it!

Mad Monster Party will also feature vendors (like me!), movie screenings, celebrity meet-and-greets, an after party, and a haunted mill to walk through! madmonster.com

Here's my take on Godzilla mayhem in sweet, beautiful sepia!

Happy Holidays, everyone!

Big news!! I'm excited to announce a new hardbound art book containing ALL of my paintings, including some charcoal drawings. It's got all my work up to date, and I'm proud of how it turned out. Tom Sullivan (Special Effects artist on THE EVIL DEAD, painter, prop maker, etc.!) was kind enough to write a wonderful introduction, and talented musician and author Count Lyle Blackburn (Ghoultown) wrote the foreword. I am very grateful to Tom and Lyle for their contributions and support to help make this first book happen. These are two very talented guys whom I really admire.

Quantities are limited, so I'm currently taking pre-orders. They all come signed, priced at $40 each. If you'd like a drawing on the inside front page, or the “flyleaf” to get technical, there is an option for this in the items listing. The first 10 sold will contain a FREE, numbered ink drawing inside. The rest of the flyleaf drawings ordered with the book will be in pencil and cost $10 extra. This is it. Everything I've done up until now is in this book! Get ’em while they're hot! The book will be available through this site. Here is the link:

I have some cool news! The November issue of Rue Morgue contains an interview with yours truly! The very talented horror artist, Ghoulish Gary Pullin, interviewed me for his “Fright Gallery” column, and I feel extremely honored. The piece is titled, “The Cult of Chris Kuchta.” This magazine is one of the best out there, and this is really exciting for me. It happened at a perfect time.

Hope you guys get a chance to check it out!
