From the press release:
SST Publications is proud to announce the release of the second title in our new Art Book Series:
DARK WORK by Keith Minnion
Introduction by Steven C. Gilberts
SST’s DARK WORK brings together the best magazine and book illustrations and covers from Keith Minnion’s twenty-year career in the horror genre. Keith chooses to work in traditional media—pencil, ink, paint—and all are showcased in 100 pages of full color and rich black and white art. Shelley’s Monster, Leiber’s Demons of the Upper Air, Blatty’s Exorcist, Strand’s Aspiring Lunatic, Curran’s Corpse King, Crowther’s Eater, Ketchum’s Gorilla, O’Nan’s Monsters, and every shadow, terror and nightmare in between, are all here. Along with scores of previously published illustrations, there is also a section of work published here for the first time. The award-winning illustrator Steven C. Gilberts provides an insightful introductory essay, and Keith also supplies a complete and detailed index of the work presented.
Praise for the book:
“Keith Minnion’s artwork is both subtle and strong. You can tell his work is personal to him, showing great attention to detail and often surprising you with his perspective. Keith has a wide range, but yet his work is always recognizable and as an artist it’s important to have that signature feel to your work. His black and white work is my favorite, enhancing a story in a way that tells a story on its own, which makes for a great illustrator and that’s what Keith is . . . a great illustrator.”—Mindy Jarusek, Art Director, Cemetery Dance magazine
“We should liken the work of Keith Minnion to that of fictional character Victor Frankenstein. Imagine each project being created under threatening storm clouds, unwavering attention to detail coursing from fingers to paper with deft strokes, and finally, stepping back to pass judgement his cries of, ‘It’s Alive!’ awaken the most placid into realizing Keith has created another soulful piece. There are many aware of his unique talent. I fall into that group.”
—Stephen Clark, Publisher, Tasmaniac Publications
“I remember when I saw my first Keith Minnion cover. This was over a decade ago, but I remember it like yesterday. I proudly hold that book on my shelf and have been a fan ever since. Bottom line, the artwork of Keith Minnion never disappoints.”
—Paul Goblirsch, Publisher, Thunderstorm Books
