About the Artist
Salutations, dear visitor! I'm Chris Jones, although you might recognize me by my online alter ego, "BEASTDROOL." I'm no professional, just a passionate enthusiast of the art world, dabbling in both traditional and digital mediums. My daily mission is to nurture my artistic talents, on a quest to level up my creative prowess.
I draw inspiration from other artists who showcase their masterpieces on social media, at comic conventions, and even on the graphic tees that grace my extensive collection. While I may lack an art school diploma (and have an college degree in another field), I've devoted myself to the art of self-education, became self-taught in the craft.
Beyond my artistic escapades, you'll find me engrossed in a variety of interests. I'm an avid reader of fantasy novels and manga, a weightlifting enthusiast, a cardio kickboxing dynamo, and a nature aficionado who revels in hiking in the woods. You could say I'm a nerd with the heart of a monster with the physique to prove it. Plus, let's not forget my enduring love for kaiju and creature feature movies. And when I’m creative, my artistic sanctuary resonates with the thunderous notes of hard rock and the fiery solos of heavy metal.
My grandest aspiration in life is to traverse the nation, visiting the hallowed grounds of national parks and immersing myself in the wonders of nature and wildlife.
When it comes to my artwork, the essence of my style revolves around monstrous, kaiju, and mutant creatures plucked from the realms of science fiction, horror, and dark fantasy. But don't be misled; I've got a soft spot for human characters too. You might be wondering why I'm fixated on these particular subjects. Well, it all started back in my childhood days, when I was enthralled by animated shows, movies, and video games featuring colossal and spine-tingling beasts. Classics like werewolf films, Godzilla and King Kong epics from Toho and Legendary, and the unforgettable Pokémon and Digimon franchises left a mark on my soul as an artist. So, why do I create? It's all about the pure joy of embracing my passions.
My primary aim is to make entertaining and jaw-dropping art projects for potential clients while continually refining my craft.
