Popular Godzilla artist Matt Frank (pictured above) just won an award within the popular "Austin Chronicle" newspaper.
Calling him the winner of the "Best Kaiju King" award, the Chronicle has this to say about his work:
Talk about a monster-sized challenge. When IDW Publishing needed 100 variant covers for its new Godzilla comic, only one artist was up to the job: superfan-turned-superstar artist Matt Frank. The UT grad and expert in all rubber-suited monsters doesn't just know his Mothra from his Rodan. His daikaiju explosions helped put the crown back on the king of monsters.
Matt is of course noted for his fantastic cover work on the Godzilla: Kingdom of Monsters
series, which has allowed him to make a big mark within a relatively short amount of time.I mean this time one year ago nobody knew who he was.
Now he's enjoying tremendous success off of his Godzilla work, enough to frequently be requested at Comic Cons and other appearances.
Plus there was that recent announcement of his own one-shot Transformers, so it won't be long until he gets his own series.
It's good to see Matt enjoy such success.
He truly places a great amount of work on his art, so I always enjoy when talented artists get their deserved rewards.
