As previously mentioned it's dreary as all hell, so every morning in an effort to avoid the inevitable slog that is removing myself from my bed I trawl through Instagram stories and Lize's is one I check every morning. </span></div>

Every page heaves with internal emotions being portrayed through brave block colours. Her vulnerable wolves and brave rabbits are a recurring motif and a particular favourite of mine. You can actually now buy a zine of her sketchbook pages here https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/573046738/combination-a5-sketchbook-zine?ref=shop_home_feat_1 .</span></div>

The weather here in London is definitely on the up but it's still pretty grim so I wanted to choose an artist to help cut through the grey with some goddamn sunshine. Kike Congrains seemed like a pretty great antidote and hopefully you will agree.</div>

Kike hails from Peru, a place I'm pretty desperate to go, that in my head is full of incredibly old and<span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline; font-family: inherit;"> colourful history. Admittedly, I am going to be very biased towards Kike's work. Not just because his work seems to call upon old belief systems ( a favourite motif of mine) but because I too would consider myself a collage artist. Whilst I do a lot of ink drawing and recently fell back into a watercolour habit if I have time for collage, it's the art form I love most.</span></div>

Lucky for Kike and I collage is pretty fashionable right now, but it's nearly always simplistic photo collage. Which whilst often quick and effective, in my opinion, can often lack warmth. Kike has said in interviews being in contact with the materials is important to him and I couldn't agree more. Whilst his work features magazine cutouts, it's the textured papers, careful cutout work, and adventurous colour scheme that gives their illustrations such brilliant interest.</div>

Because paper collage is such a physical act seeing the tiny cutouts before they are combined on a page, or watching how a background comes together without foreground detail can be particularly impressive. And Kike knows that. Which is a seriously good thing because it means he often posts little work in progress shots over on his <a href="https://www.behance.net/congrains">Behance</a> and <a href="http://cansoncity.tumblr.com/">tumblr</a>.</div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">A job we just never get round to is framing prints. As an illustration obsessive I tend to hoard them and then realise I need to go out and actually buy frames. The problem I have is it's just such a faff! They never quite fit my print properly and the ones I want are always unfeasibly expensive. It's a really brilliant way to get out of actually doing anything with my collection other than getting them out to admire like some massive scrap book.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">So after finally getting on the bus to Ikea (in the rain no bloody less) I remembered a picture I had squirreled away for when we were buying our flat and looking for decorating ideas, of a brilliant paper vine snaking between a cluster of prints in bright simplistic frames. I knew then that picture was what I wanted to create, but I'd need to actually put some stuff on the walls first.And as I sit here next to a pile of frames and err..15 prints....what better way to procrastinate then share the brilliant work of Corrie Beth Hogg with you!</span></div>

Her work is brilliantly warm and homey whilst being extremely fashionable. Seriously, name me a coffee shop in East London that doesn't currently have a spotty begonia shining away in a corner, or a massively out of control monstera taking up basically an entire table? </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /><br />Corrie Beth has also had the forethought to bring you along on her journey through crafting the more fashionable plants of the world right now by creating a blog with easy to follow DIY projects for each of her creations! You too can have a homey mini jungle! But without worrying about keeping it alive, and as someone with about 12 houseplants (including a very sad aloe vera plant..) I would like less things to worry about keeping alive. So really I should be thanking her for not having to tend to a big snakey hanging philodendron when I can just make one..but I should probably put these prints up first..</span></div>

I'm a slow starter (evidently). When I start a new job, it takes me a couple of months to find my feet. When I start planning a drawing it takes a couple of goes to get it looking quite right, but once I'm there I'M READY. And whilst I had high hopes and a plan for posts in December they were ill-fated and badly planned for what turned out to be a frighteningly busy month. </span></div>

For our final foray into the spook filled work of illustration I’m going back to the ever fantastic Natali Koromoto. Natali has done something that no one has ever managed to do. She has made me want to watch the Simpsons (yeah there’s your Halloween scare, I’m not big on the Simpsons…).<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></div>

As a -*nerd *- I LOVE references to films, music and tv programmes hidden away in the backgrounds of, well, each other. Recently I’ve loved listing off the movie references packed into Stranger Things (yes I’ve watched it all already, I can’t believe you haven’t yet). It’s like fan art, incredibly geeky fan art. And when fan art is done well it is just another level of “aaaah how did they come up with that?!!” and Natali ,every year, for the past four years has taken on The Simpsons (I give in) utterly brilliant and, sometimes a wee bit scary, Treehouse of Horror special episodes.</div>

There are so many tiny details packed into every corner of these illustrations that I don’t even care that I haven’t seen the specific episode they are referencing. Tiny creatures peek out of corners of rooms, prints on household objects somehow throw back to something so vague but so on the money, scenes unfold not only around the character but outside through their bedroom windows!</div>

Angela has said that using her ghosts she is exploring human memory, in how strange and how fleeting it is, but also in the way that<span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline; font-family: inherit;"> these photographs are someone's memory but to us they are just ghosts, figuratively and now literally. There is a belief that time can record itself into walls and battlefields and the ghosts we see there are simply time repeating itself. These altered photos seem stuck between a loving memory and a simple moment in time caught on film.</span></div>

It would be easy for these altered found photographs to become morbid after Angela's treatment but her tenderness for the subject shines through. Her ghosts have families and go on outings to Disneyland. They may be stuck in that specific moment but Angela is going to make sure it's a good one.</div>

Erggh good evening Halloween fans. I wish I could tell you to take that "erggh" as a spooky opening noise but that erghh is more because I feel like a zombie. I love Halloween y'all but I hit my peak at about 1am last night. So let's ease on in to this post shall we?</div>

Martin Wittfooth is yet another brilliant talent to come out of Toronto. Seriously guys, what is in the water over there? Martin's pieces centre on creatures and the places they govern. Those places though seem t<span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline; font-family: inherit;">o be what were once ours. These animals at first are strange and otherworldy. Goat's horns drip with blood while conquering their usual predators, dead animals sprout huge bouquets of flowers making their death into something beautiful, and monkeys ride huge flaming elephants through the streets of cities.</span></div>

This work somehow goes through the fantastical and comes out as scary. However not scary in the way I have been sharing with you guys. Martin's work wants to push the message through to you that this once was the world of animals and the natural world and we should be careful about where we are heading into now. So there's your scare for the day. The scare that we are killing these magical beings. </div>

I toyed with whether to share this artist with you for quite some time, not because this space needs to be kept particularly PG13 but the work of Tina Lugo is a little confronting to scroll through on a Friday afternoon, so I've deliberately chosen some of her work that doesn't have quite so much dismembered penis in.</div>

Genitals aside Tina's work is still horrific in the best possible way. Featuri<span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline; font-family: inherit;">ng nightmarish bed fellows that resemble demons, severed limbs everywhere, faceless pretty girls, haunting titles and this is just the beginning! Tina pulls her influences heavily from Ero Guru Nansensu movement; a very particular kind of Japanese art that focuses on the erotic, meeting the grotesque, culminating in the bizarre (or nansensu ie nonsense).</span></div>

That degree of nonsense feels important. Halloween definitely can be both sexy and scary (and sometimes that's the coolest costume going) but it's good to remember that it's all in good fun to stop it becoming overwhelmingly confronting. Tina plays with that line with impeccable skill. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Sloane Leong's work shows a world beyond ours. She seems to illustrate snippets of folklore and intertwines them with long lost stories to create strange and brilliant characters with infinite backstories.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Sloane's work <span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline;">often occupies an interesting space where there's a message and a feeling that makes you somewhat uncomfortable. Kind of like a David Lynch film.

Yuko Shimizu's work is simply heaving with back story. There is so much narrative woven into everything from illustrations for news articles to full on story books.

A strong supporter and collaborator with the Society of Illustrators Yuko knows how to tame the incredible strength within her style to tell the creepiest of stories even in the blandest of situations. I can only imagine Yuko, when faced with a brief for a hair removal company, would create pieces filled with screaming tufts of hair.</div>

For this Tuesday's post I want to hit upon that unique fear that comes from waking up somewhere that doesn't quite make sense. Without a shadow of a doubt the most frightening dreams I've had involve me waking up (yes in the dream) in a world somewhat like my own but not quite.</div>

Kuno Yoko's pieces call upon this strange sense of surrealism so that whilst her illustrations are full of sacharine themes, cute colours, and comfy cushiony forms, they don't quite make sense. What a<span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline; font-family: inherit;">ppear to be dolls seem to have lives where they can grow and sleep and err...drive. </span></div>

Sarah Kipin's work often seems to lean towards the paranormal. Her work often features haunted looking characters or hidden little leanings towards the occult. However, her Halloween project is what caught my eye. Sarah has taken on the interesting and by no means easy feat of putting tog<span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline; font-family: inherit;">ether a piece featuring vampires every day of October.</span></div>

What set Sarah apart for me is that I haven't seen a vampire quite like hers'. Her vampires whilst lythe look almost like dancers. They are dark and wrapped up in each other without having that arrogant holier than thou air about them. </div>

There is also a fantastic cohesian to them so far that makes them less of a project and more a brilliant body of work. I can't wait for her next instalment of toothy beauties and you can support her in this thankless task <a href="https://sarakipin.tumblr.com/">on her tumblr.</a></div>

Every sound under your feet becomes amplified and being alone on a street suddenl<span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline; font-family: inherit;">y seems less the blissful strolls of summer and more unnverving.</span></div>

I found myself looking up at the houses to stop myself feeling shaken up by quite how dark it had gotten but only some houses had their lights on and somehow the glow coming from those windows made it all the more obvious how late it was and how alone I was. Now, I was perfectly fine, but have you ever experienced that? A light on in a house's window you've never seen on before? A glimpse of a colourful glow behind a garage that doesn't seem quite right? A street lamp illuminating a shape that might have been just a cat or was it something else?</div>

Christopher Burk's murky Hopperesque paintings of suburban houses at night fill me with that Stranger Things style dread that I feel walking home on Autumn evenings that reminds me that Autumn is well and truly here. Maybe as you're headed home one night this weekend and look up at your own house to think, did I leave that light in my attic window on?</div>

Ok oops lunch time catch up anyone? In my last few posts I've made it pretty clear that I love monsters more than the average person on the street. (I mean I'm guessing, maybe everyone secretly yearns for a cuddly godzilla?) The monsters don't always need to be scary though! And Amelie Flechais is an illustrator who has fully embraced the idea that monsters do not need to be scary.</div>

Her cha<span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline; font-family: inherit;">racters seem able to interact with them without fear but with caution or respect, or indeed they themselves seem to be harnessing the power of the monster.

Good evening readers. I've had this post squirrelled away for a while. If you've been here for a few months you may have figured out that I bloody love monsters. Everything from huge city destroying lizards to ghostly cryptids. I'm here for an unexplained ridiculous creature and someone else who seems to feel the same way is the artist Pricsilla Hamby.</div>

Now to put this into perspective, compiling this list of Halloween goodies wasn't particularly hard work for me, I look at he<span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline; font-family: inherit;">lla illustrations of cryptids, but I really REALLY have struggled to find a rendition of the ridiculous Flatwoods monster that I love more than this guy.

Do you ever do that thing when you're lying in bed and just swear you see something out the corner of your eye but you know that as long as you keep your feet under the covers you'll be safe? Or when you're lying in the bath close your eyes momentarily only to find yourself unable to relax in the bubbles because you're sure a demon has taken that exact moment to check on you?</div>

I'm cutting it fine this evening but just in time for this Sunday's seriously spooky post I'm changing it up and sharing a film with you. I just had the absolute pleasure of seeing the film The Endless, a brilliant horror movie however not quite what I want to share with you today.</div>

Tonight I want to share with you the complete terror that is David Mitchell's It Follows. I don't like scary films. I don't enjoy that sensation and I really REALLY hate films with supernatural th<span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline; font-family: inherit;">emes, however somehow I made an exception for what will probably be the most frightening thing I will ever watch. It is also however one of the best films I have ever seen.</span></div>
<div class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; display: inline; font-family: "SF Optimized", system-ui, -apple-system, system-ui, ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: -0.12px;">
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; text-align: center;">
It Follows has the thoroughly bizarre premise of a girl wakes up after sleeping with a guy to be told he has sexually transmitted a walking monster to her. He tells her "it isn't fast but it isn't stupid". If it gets to you, you're dead. If you sleep with someone, you pass it on. If it kills the person you last slept with, it comes back to you. It slowly walks step by step and takes the form of everyone from huge frightening men to people you know. Only you can see it but others can see the effect it has. The plot line sounds so ridiculous that Mitchell himself said when pitching it he had to just stick to story boards to try an come away from the fact it is a film about a sexually transmitted demon.</div>

<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: center;">
Bare with me here though, It Follows does the clever thing of existing outside of time but manages to reference those hazy suburban based American horror stories of the 80s and 90s, whilst throwing in the odd gadget that makes no sense but somehow makes it all the more unnerving. Seriously what is it about the American suburbs that gives such a perfect spooky backdrop? I feel like there's something about teenagers and all those emotions buzzing around with no where to over flow into that mimic that stillness of a summer with nothing to do.</div>

The soundtrack is a complete masterpiece. An 80s synth based foreboding dream that I would have had on repeat if it didn't put me so on edge. You can actually listen to the whole thing on <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fc4lnoZFD9Q">YouTube</a>.</div>

I came across Aleksandra on flickr, years and years ago. Her paintings are confronting and terrifying and were always presented without any explanation. I liked the idea that she was trying to work through some misunderstood emotion in her head, or indeed she roamed some frighteningly wild corner <span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline; font-family: inherit;">of Poland and was bringing us into the nightmarish creatures she saw.</span></div>

<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; text-align: center;">
Aleksandra has since come forward saying she wants the meaning of her paintings to be discovered by the onlooker. I like the idea that despite how honestly terrifying her pieces are she wants you to look closer to try and untangle the reason she has placed in these unnerving scenes.</div>

OK OK I missed Friday the 13th. I'm sick, cut me some slack! To make up for Friday the 13th let's talk about a piece that is honestly scary.</div>

This terrifying sculpture is Kiki Smith's Lilith. The story goes, in Jewish lore, that before there was Eve there was Lilith. When Lilith demanded that she be treated as Adam's equal she was cast out of the Garden of Eden and forced to become a demon. Eve replaced her, placing the importance on submissiveness and not equality between th<span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline; font-family: inherit;">e sexes. </span></div>

<span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline; font-family: inherit;">So there's a nice counterpart for the problems many women go through everyday. The reminder that strong women, demanding to be treated the same as their male counterparts, has been going on since the Garden of Eden is perhaps the really scary message of this frightening little sculpture.</span></div>

It's a brilliant case of not being quite sure what you're seeing. You're forced to look back to try and make sense of Danilo's figures but it often leaves you with a creeping sense that you'll never truly know what you saw. </div>

Good evening Halloween lovers. First of all I want to make a gross public display of affection for my incredibly helpful boyfriend who has very kindly been posting these updates whilst I've been off galavanting in 30 degree heat in Spain! But now let's get back from the gross and onto the creepy!</div>

Older readers may remember that I have posted Theo Mercier before but I couldn't not drag him up from the depths of these features for a mid week treat. His work is just too perfect.<span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline; font-family: inherit;"> It's nearly always mostly frightening but a little bit silly, however that's sometimes an even more unnerving combination. </span></div>

<span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline; font-family: inherit;">A few of these pieces seem to be inspired by a poem called Exposure Desperanza (workshop). It talks about the zombies and ghosts coming from the workshop. I hope Theo sees himself as a Dr Frankenstein figure with his shadow cast huge on a workshop wall as his sculptures come to life. He gives them horns, skeletons, glaring eyes, dripping limbs and then....sunglasses.</span></div>
