I personally do not believe in a spiritual world so what I can
see is reality for me. This is why I love illustration so very much. It is a
way for me to go into my mind and search out wonderful, outrageous universes which
are so far removed from this reality. The places which I conjure have different
rules, strange foreign creatures and magical things which present themselves to
me as I wonder through my dreams.
The characters which I create all have different personalities,
some devious and cruel, some kind and helpful. The one thing they do have in
common though is that they are all creatures which I remember forever.
If you are bored and restless, maybe try something I like to
do which helps me immensely get back to my normal happy self. Try creating a
strange being which you can make friends with. Give drawing the body a go and
then write a couple of personality traits by its side. This way, at least you
know you made a new friend today.
Here are some of my favourite creatures which a handful of
illustrators have made for us all to enjoy.
