Thanks to my dear Jeff Wandermeer, two of my artwork will appear in Spectrum 21 book, this year in the fall. These are illustrations from Jeff's fabulous Wonderbook (about this book has already been mention on my blog).

My sketchbook is a kind of carnival of weird characters – mostly monstrous characters – what to do when I like to draw all sorts of creatures. But these creatures are not evil, they are like naughty children run away from nightmare of reality.

Here, my creatures jealously lurking until they upset with a new arrival, a new character drawn – weirder than all of them put together. With disbelief they wonder: Who is this new guy? Uglier and scarier than us...

Does he like to eat children, or just to frighten them? Did he originated from black ink or just a mirage? Perhaps the Creator knows the answer?
