McEvoy, who has created storyboards for animated series such
as The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy. The painting was

Harkening back to the B-horror movie posters
of the 1950s, Monster of a Star seeks to parody that genre
using Gossamer as the evil monster who rises above the
screen, scaring viewers within a drive-in movie theater.
-
This piece is a companion to Invaders from
Mars!, designed and rendered by Juan Ortiz, a piece which
also spoofs the 1950s B-horror movie posters.
-
Adding a combination of timely realism and
parody to Monster of a Star, the frightened Looney Tunes
characters are dressed in period clothing and are shown with
automobiles from that era. The mass “running” hysteria also
parodies the B-horror movies of the 50s, as it seems each
film from that period had a running crowd scene.
