Sour Grape

Keeping with the theme I established a couple of posts back, here’s a new pattern I just completed — this time featuring scared screaming spooks. Pop culture is filled with stories of aliens and ghosts haunting our bedrooms — I thought it might be fun to turn the tables and have them scare each other for a change.
With these patterned illustrations, I’m really interested in deconstructing the surface and exploring ways to abstract my use of shape and color as I describe form and space. There’s an aesthetic developing here that I’m really happy with — time to go start the next one!

It looks like either a wallpaper design chosen by a warped psychiatrist or maybe a microscope shot of an alien’s sperm count slide.
Nathan, this looks awesome! I’m really diggin’ this palette.
Thanks, Harry! I’m trying to push myself to work more with secondary colors — the next one riffs on green.
