Artist Margaret Rolicki is the Cynthia Plaster Caster of the prop fabrication world and the spiritual heir to Milicent Patrick's (Creature from the Black Lagoon) legacy. When not making her own art (like this fantastic bat mask tribute to Margaret Brundage's Weird Tales cover art), Rolicki is deep in the bowels of the Slave Pit, creating dick udders, molding monster brains underneath removable skullcaps, and whipping up a fresh batch of spew (fake blood and alien bile) for an upcoming live show of Richmond, Virginia's fabled thrash metal band, GWAR, best known for their elaborately gross stage show filled with beheadings, spewing foam penises, and alien abortions.
I don't know that I could name a single song by GWAR, but I can tell you that showing up at high school with your skin stained red with fake blood the morning after one of their shows was a badge of honor.
Check out Margaret's art on her Instagram page, her website, and see her operating the spew cannon live in action at GWAR's Scumdogs of the Universe anniversary show on Oct. 30th.
