Amazing, beautiful work here. So imaginative, and so very playful, with just a hint of dread:
Barcelona-based illustrator Vorja Sánchez depicts comically surreal storybook creatures that look like a cross between mutant dinosaurs and shadowy demons—but also captures the very lifelike spirit of birds and other animals. Working with a variety of mediums from pen and link to watercolor or spray paint, each piece is inspired by events in his daily life, an observation he makes while walking through the forest or drawing from a recent stint living in Nicaragua where he organized painting classes for children and adults. Sánchez has just begun working as a full-time artist in the last few months and is currently wrapping up work on an illustrated book. You can follow more of his artwork on Facebook and Instagram.
So much to savour and explore! Via Colossal Art.
I love love love his little creatures, you can just tell that they all have big characters!
I don’t have words for how much I love them, all of them.
The birds and bugs remind me of Hieronymus Bosch creatures. They have an air of whimsical menace.
I have Colossal in my feed reader, and I like to see what catches your eye over there! =)

That was my first thought!
Neat play between the cute and the ominous.
This is what they look like when they’re not tormenting humanity. ;)
