Meat Quest

Editor’s note: Greg is talented. Like super talented. His My Phat Status is still ongoing, but we thought we’d start bringing in some of his faux-book covers because they make us smile. Enjoy. Artist’s statement: One of the biggest challenges for this piece was that every title and tag line I came up with made it look more like a cheesy dime store romance novel cover than a pulp magazine. I’d hoped the mastodon carcass and general over-the-topness of the image would make it more obvious, but I still think it has a touch of the Fabio factor that just won’t wash out, no matter how much blood and misogyny I pour on it. But I’m okay with that. It’s sort of the result of a late night impromptu photo shoot I did with some friends at my place a while back, during which I promised to do a poster for each of the attendees (myself included). And no, the models did not strip down to loin cloths. I had to make believe the muscles and belly buttons.
