J.E. Larson
Today I bring you into the wonderful illustrated world of my dear friend J.E. Larson.
Mad, mysterious, maniacal, macabre creations with the occasional touch of spooky sweetness…fantastic indeed (make sure you read the text on the site as well).
One project I’m extremely enthused about is Man Eating Socks (a collaborative project for which Mr. Larson is providing illustration).
After a fateful trip to a haunted clothing store, young Charles Glint unwittingly brings home a pair of evil socks with a taste for human beings.
Forced to do their bidding, he takes the monsterous clothing to school, turning show-and-tell into an event of unspeakable horror.
I also highly encourage a visit to his Red Bubble site.
Wouldn’t it be great to have some of these characters on cards or t-shirts? Well, you can! Go adopt one today, or Humpty Dumpty shall be very angry with you…

Haha…it’s funny because I’m such an introvert hermit sometimes that I’ve never spoken to the vast majority of folks I post about…but I do know a few amazing eccentric personalities.

Neat drawings. They’re all very toothy.

I think many illustrators forget the great potential of teeth.

I just received my copy of ‘Man-Eating Socks’, from Amazon, in the mail. It’s fabulous! Darkly delightful and delightfully dark! π
