A couple months ago I took a vacation with my family. At our lake house there was this abstract painting hanging on the wall. Most of my family just saw a woman wearing a red dress, but to me all I could see was some kind of an insect wearing a dress!! Here's my interpretation of that painting! 🐜 . Swipe left to view the original, maybe you'll see something completely different!! . . #illustration #illustrator #characterdesign #visualdevelopment #conceptart #artistsofinstagram #artistsoninstagram #artwork #artist #art #artinterpretation #cartoonist #cartoon #insects #bugsofinstagram #preyingmantis #creaturdesign #dancer #graphicnovelart #comicbookart #designer

Just a freaky #cirquedusoleil inspired Demon!! I tried to make him as unsettling as possible, but he still looks like something from a Bob Clampett cartoon!! . . . #illustration #illustrator #characterdesign #characterartist #creaturedesign #creature #monsterart #visualdevelopment #conceptart #conceptualart #surealism #surealart #surealist #gothicart #demon #cartoon #cartoonist #animation #bobclampett #graphicnovelart #darkart #artistsofinstagram #artist #drawing #fantasyart #fantasycreature #monster #imagination #digitaldrawing

New character design for one of my favorite mythological creatures, the Jersey Devil. He might be a monster, and he may live in Jersey, but that doesn't mean he can't be classy! . . . #illustration #characterdesign #characterdesigner #creature #creaturedesign #conceptdesign #conceptart #conceptartist #animation #cartoon #cartoonist #drawing #art #artist #instagramartists #donbluth #instaart #comicart #thejerseydevil #monsters #monsterart #fantasy #cryptozoology #mythicalcreatures #urbanlegends #childrensbookillustration

Just a quick digital sketch I whipped up! I don't know if anyone remembers those monetized weasel ball toys from back in the day, but they were definitely the best toys to have, especially if you had a cat! . . . #illustration #sketch #drawing #digitadrawing #cartoon #cartoonist #cartoons #animation #characterdesign #characterart #conceptart #conceptualartist #looneytunes #toy #weasel #animalart #animaldrawing #artistsoninstagram #artist #instaartist #photoshopdrawing #comicart #retrotoys #nostalgia #weaselball #cartoonartist #animals

Often I like to look back on some of my most vivid dreams as a source of inspiration for new illustrations. The flying creature here is actually inspired by a creature that has appeared in my dreams on multiple occasions over the years! To this day I still can't explain what it might represent! . . . #illustration #creatures #creaturedesign #creatureart #monster #monsterjam #monsterart #monsters #conceptart #conceptualart #artist #artistsoninstagram #artwork #horror #horrorart #gothicart #hplovecraft #lovcraftianhorror #cthulhu #graphicnovelart #drawing #digitalart #scarystoriestotellinthedark #stephengammell #dreams #dreamart #death
