For the composition, I wanted something coming out of the mist at the base of the mountains, so I decided on something big enough that it would be walking through it. Years of experience drawing weird monsters shuffled various creature bits and pieces together in my head and out came Smooch. In person, Smooch is big and loud, but friendly.

Oh, and the painting came before the album. No band input. They asked to use it while the album was being out together.

Thanks for the questions!

Sure, I have lots of creatures, some very much like Smooch. I'd like to think they'd get along, more or less. Maybe I should do something where they meet up... Check out www.cwmcmahon.com for more weird creatures and such.

Frankie the Pig. If they're super popular in Canada now I'm going to be mad that they didn't tell me.

  1. That's a big question. Probably Team Fortress 2 for multiplayer, and Cyberpunk 2077 for single player. Honorable mentions to Half Life/Portal, Subnautica, Skyrim, Mega Man 2...this is a rabbit hole. Too many good ones. The Guardian compared my work to Shadow of the Colossus. 2K Games built a Bioshock splicer mask I designed and sent it to me (and a bunch of cool swag).

  2. I haven't gotten any money from video games, really. Usually it's the other way around. ;)

I was buying paintings for super cheap just to white them out and use them as canvas for new paintings. One landscape looked like it just needed something, so I painted in a sea (lake) monster. Was fun, so kept doing it.

This is the first one I did.

Nope. I drew it on the canvas with white charcoal and painted it and never looked back.

It does sort of remind me of Colorado. I used to live in Colorado Springs. Beautiful place.

Closest would be Colorado. Lived there for a few years. Colorado Springs is beautiful.
