Martin Whitmore is the dangerous and brilliant evil illustrator behind MartinWhitmore.com, Tasty Flesh, and Pace & Kyeli’s The Usual Error. Marty is a rampant madman obsessed with scantily-clad pinup girls, Lovecraftian abominations and the walking dead. If anyone understands Stay Hungry, it’s this twisted architect of zombie dystopian terror. Brains, anyone?
Just a few of Marty’s awesome projects:
- Martin Whitmore’s Meat Market
- The Usual Error: Why We Don’t Understand Each Other and 34 Ways to Make It Better (by Pace & Kyeli Smith)
- Tasty Flesh: Live Nude Zombies (webcomic)
- Community Commission No. 1 (nsfw)
- Community Commission No. 2 (sfw)
- Grisly Greetings, a line of evil greeting cards
- D20 manuals — Against the Dead and Haryn: A Player’s Guidebook (with Andres Medrano)
Marty’s signed on to help Becky promote her submission for Lesson Seven because staying hungry is the most important thing an artist can do for himself to help him get ahead. It applies to anyone (not just crazed zombie illustrators) and it’s less obvious (and less safe) than the other options. If you stay hungry, you keep striving, keep working for more, keep creating, keep moving forward. If you stay hungry, you cover more ground — you grow faster.
