I didn't know Joe personally, but its obvious we had some shared interests and we liked each others art! Joe was one of the few people who commented on my art. Thanks Joe! You are missed!

Hey Folks this is PART TWO of my comments on Joe Riley. The following entry is actually is the FIRST PART. To see the whole thing together please visit www.guerrillamonster.com/new

The saddest special effect:
JOE RILEY, R.I.P. PART 2

Joe got really mad when my dog ate most of the angel wings later - but Joe fixed them right up. Joe also did all the multicolored squibs in the Hippie Death scene and the Old Mother make-up for Ghetty Chasun (in an EC Comics style that Joe knew emphatically).

I remember I owed him some money for the work he had done on SORE LOSERS and he was anxious to leave and return to Dallas. We had to wait for Kim to return from the bank in Memphis with his fee. Kim was involved in a bank hold-up and was lucky to get out of the bank with her life. Joe accepted this as fate and I had to pay him later.

I have a black light Glenn Strange Frankenstein poster that Joe drew. I also own one of his immaculately sculpted Herman Munster resin heads. Joe also did two drawing of me in various monster modes. I will publish these as a news item at my site this week

JOE RILEY, R.I.P.

Joe Riley's death comes as a complete and absolute shock. He apparently had a heart attack ("ascemic heart disease"). I don't know Joe's birthday and I'm not sure which day this week he died. People who believe in Monsters don't die.

I know Joe through our collaborations together via shared interest in comic book hot rod monster culture. I had spoken with Joe in the Fall of 2006 to get advice on the little four minute Cadavera short Wheat and I were making. He and starlet Cori talked over the phone about the best make-up applications for her 'dead look'. Joe and I didn't stay in great touch with each other but when we did talk, we talked for an hour or more. Our last conversation was about the completed Cadavera short (he thought Cori's look was "dead-on"), his hoped for the overdue Rat Fink feature to begin, and the hope that we could work together. If Joe Riley had gotten his way then Big Daddy Roth's RAT FINK would be hanging in the Louvre right next to the MONA LISA.

Joe was a very funny person. I first met him in the late eighties at the Dallas Fantasy Fair comic book conventions. I always referred to him as a "Tex-Zen" for his ability to be extremely philosophical, but you knew it was coming from a Texan. I ran him through the ringer on SORE LOSERS film shoot. See his article on the making of the film here at http://www.guerrillamonster.com/new/index.php?page=soreloserscamp

I remember Joe (Spring 1996) pulling up at midnight to my folks house in Mississippi just as Jack Oblivian was about to be grabbed by mud-caked zombie hands through cheap plywood that was about to fall over on everyone underneath. Joe used his truck to stop this potential disaster - then unloaded the seven foot angel wings that he built himself and we stored them in the carport. Joe got really mad when my dog ate most of the angel wings later - but

Some truly sad and surprising news. Saw the bulletin via myspace. It is hard to believe. I had first met Joe in north Mississippi and Memphis back in '95 on a movie set called The Sore Losers, most of you know this. He did some amazing special fx for that movie and we shared some good times during that whirlwind month. It would be a couple years later in Dallas of '97 when roading for the Japanese rock band, Guitar Wolf (who was also in the Sore Losers), would Joe and I would cross paths in person. It was very brief and we exchanged phone numbers knowing we would ultimately connect on some kind of future venture, but never knowing when. Its an unspoken thing that is simply accepted as truth. We just assumed we would have another chance to actually work together with him on a project. I'm sorry to say it won't happen.

RIP Joe.

I was shocked and saddened to hear about Joe's passing. He was one of the most incredible artists I knew. He and his talents will be sorely missed.

I only worked with him for 90 days...

and he is gone as of 2 days ago

but he is the kind of person, like April said, you feel like you have known him for so much longer.

My thoughts are with joe's family and friends. Joe was one of the coolest folks i knew. I was always amazed by his talent.I was always tempted to steal things from his office at dna, i didn't. I loved talking to him about music,derby and art. He will be greatly missed.

My prayers are with all of Joe's family and friends! We will see him again. I helped Joe with THE HYPNOTIC EYE public access show back in the 90s. I lost touch with him for a number of years, and just got back in touch with him through Myspace last weekend. Joe's a tremendous, warm great guy and always will be!
