Classic Monster Toys, Record Cover and Popcorn Buckets!
I'll admit I'm bored to death with most art relating to the classic movie monsters.. unless you throw a demonic bird and some weird gargoyle thing into the mix, then I'm interested!

And insane record covers are always an exception..

Guy Davis - THE MARQUIS and the COACHMAN
"The online issue of Dark Horse Presents #22 includes a new Marquis story done especially for MySpace DHP! The Marquis and the Coachman is a special prequel that takes place before Danse Macabre as an introduction to the Marquis and his b/w and red world! "  Check it out here.
- quote from Guydavisartworks.com

The Marquis is one of the more interesting comics being made today. From what I've seen of his work in B.P.R.D, Guy Davis is responsible for some of the more bizarre and enjoyable monster designs in modern comics. 

I recommend pre ordering "The Marquis: Inferno" trade paper back here, being released this fall through Dark Horse.
