From Kerry Gammill's MySpace page:
I got hooked on monster movies from watching Nightmare Theater on Saturday nights when I was a kid. I love all of the classic movie monsters and everything related to them. You can see my website devoted to vintage movie monsters art monsterkid.com I also love comics of the 1960s and 70s. The great silver-age Marvel comics drawn by Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko and written by Stan Lee grabbed my imagination and never let go. As a kid I drew all the time.
I later became a professional comics artist for Marvel and DC Comics. During my 18 years in the business I illustrated comics like Powerman & Iron Fist, Marvel Team-up (starring Spider-Man), and Superman. After leaving comics I became a special effects concept artist designing creatures for such movies and TV shows as Virus, Species II, Phantoms, The Outer Limits, and Tremors ( the TV series). I've also done storyboards and designed characters for the gaming industry and concept art for kid's promotions agencies. My website, kerrygammill.com, has examples of my work in all these fields.
Vanguard Productions published a book of my drawings a few years ago called Kerry Gammill's Drawing Monsters and Heroes for Comics and Film. It contains art from the various areas I've worked in during my checkered career including comics, kids' promotions and creature design for movies and TV. To tell you the truth, I hate that title and the "how-to" spin the publisher insisted on, but it does contain a lot of art I'm proud of, especially my concept art for film creatures and aliens.

I recently completed another book for Vanguard on the art of Basil Gogos (seen here with me). Gogos' art made a big impact on me and many others of my generation. Check elswhere on this page for more info about the book.
