Monsters and Marilyns

[monmarl.jpg]
Monsters and Marilyns is a project by Jesse Lenz. The hair and make-up from Andy Warhol's 'Marilyn Monroe' painting is placed on politicians, dictators, public officials, as well as old horror movie monsters that are liars, murderers, and tyrants.

By doing this the statement is made that no matter how much popular culture or the mass media tries to dress up and beautify these people, they are still monsters.

-MAD: MR. Wellington, it’s really awesome to speak with you, thanks for taking some time with us. I just finished reading your MONSTER TRILOGY and could tell from the start that this is definitely an instant classic of the “zombie apocalypse” sub-genre of horror literature, and just an all together great series of books even if you aren’t necessarily a fan of horror! When did you first realize that you wanted to be an author, and how did the genesis of the MONSTER TRILOGY first come into fruition?

-D.W.: I’ve always wanted to be a writer. I started when I was six years old. Thirty years later, I was getting a little frustrated that I’d never been published. So I put my new book online, thinking that at least people would get a chance to read it. Enough of them did that I got a book deal out of it. I was pretty excited.
