Any Means Necessary: The Superb Dark and Macabre Illustrations of Shawn Coss

According to an artist: ” Hi, if you’re looking for Shawn Cross, that’s another guy who definitely doesn’t do the art I do. At least I don’t think. But anyways, I’m a dark art artist from Ohio. I’ve been working at my craft professionally for 9 years as an independent artist as well as an artist for the widely popular webcomic series, Cyanide & Happiness. I’m also a co-owner and artist for Ohio based lifestyle brand, Any Means Necessary clothing.
Though I’ve been known for my association with Cyanide & Happiness, in 2016 I created the mental health series, Inktober Illness, as part of the annual Inktober series which completely altered my art direction to focus more on artwork that helps create a conversation on mental health. My art has been all over the internet and bodies of many fans and it’s still spreading. It’s been life changing to say the least that an artist from Ohio is able to connect with so many who feel like they don’t have a voice.”
