The Beautifully Scary Portraits of @shakenhallow

For more of Justin’s portraits, follow @shakenhallow on Instagram.

Nine years ago, Justin (@shakenhallow) was in a near-fatal car accident that left him severely burned and a double amputee. Now 29, he has had to go through years of rehabilitation and physical therapy to be able to walk again, using prosthetics. During that time, he took art classes, which turned into another form of therapy, and led to deeply personal creations.

“[My art] is about me and my accident and my emotions going into these drawings,” says Justin, who lives in Phoenix and prefers not to use his last name. “To me, a creature’s a creature. The world’s very judgmental. I think there’s beauty in every person.”

If you feel a little uncomfortable looking at the sketches and paintings he makes, that’s just as well. “It does make me smile if someone gets a scare out of what I make,” he says, admitting that his work is in the dark arts genre — but absolutely not satanic. “I have followers that’ll be like, ‘Yeah, 666!’ You can believe whatever you want to believe, but I don’t want [my art] to be clumped into that kind of thing.”
