These sexy macabre pin-ups are the brain child of Rue Morgue’s graphic designer Justin Erickson. For those unacquainted with Rue Morgue, it is a horror magazine with a cult following.
Based out of Toronto, Justin Erickson’s art is based on vintage art, famous monsters and this bizarre world of ours.
These ghoulish pin-ups are quite pretty but dark, definitely a deviation from the standard pin up girls that society is used to. However, they’re still tempting beauties at the same time.
