Gene Fenton creates fantastic monsters!

Gene FentonArtist Gene Fenton creates sculptures by molding paper mache into unique artforms resembling dinosaurs, insects, and combinations of the two. Regional galleries and art expositions have been haunted by Fenton's weird sculpture quite often. "Sometimes I am going for the deliberate 'hokum' look, like in B-movies," he says. "You know, like the guy in the rubber octopus suit in The Green Slime. In cases like that, I'm not taking the piece, or myself, too seriously."
