Slightly Blurry Kory Bing from Rose City 2017 |
I bring this up because Kory Bing is one of the best at drawing prehistoric figures and putting them into prints, short zines, pins, an other cool stuff. She's also great at working with cryptids, movie creatures, and her own monsters, which crop up all over Kory's long-running comic, Skin Deep.
For those unaware, Skin Deep is a webcomic with print editions (the latest one is Kickstarting now). Kory's one-sentence description is "mythical creatures living hidden from humanity in Liverpool, England." In other words, really cool stuff. The most recent volume has stories that include revenge plots, dealing with transformations, and digging deeper into the secrets of Skin Deep. You can also check out the webcomic here.
Here's a few examples of Kory's work to give you an idea of her range:

A triple pin for all your evolution needs |
As you can see, Kory is extremely versatile with her craftsmanship, meaning that she has something for anyone in your life (okay, admit it, it's you) who likes prehistoric creatures and fantastic beasts. Whether it's a pictorial zine, a pin for your jacket, or a poster to add to the wall, anyone who loves creatures needs to stop by and see Kory at either Rose City in Portland or the Small Press Expo in Bethesda, Maryland.
