Hi, my name is Eben aka @ebenism on Instagram and I'm a Digital Artist from Australia. My images have gained a lot of attention recently and when Bored Panda contacted me asking if I would like to share some of my work and the inspiration behind them I humbly obliged.

Giant animals and tiny humans are the premises for my recent series of photo-manipulations and my Instagram account is a series of windows into my imagination.

The might and awe of the animal kingdom have always been an inspiration and I like to think we all have our spirit animals that challenge, guide and protect us in a world that seems to be diving deeper into chaos.

Issues regarding the demise of species with the impact of every human encroachment into native habitats weigh heavily on my heart. Mother Nature is incredible. It's way bigger than all of us tiny humans and we all have our part to play.

I hope to continue to create art that makes you think and inspire people to see the natural world and all its magnificent creatures with a sense of connection, wonder and intrigue.

    Even though the title says ". . . .Invaded by Giant Animals" I appreciate the artist using photographs of Gentle Nature. Rather than any photographs of animals attacking or being aggressive. They look as if, being observant to the tiny world of humans which they've just arrived in. . . When I read the title for the first time, I felt uncomfortable. But I really like the Graphics. As an Ecologist I really don't appreciate the bad reputation certain wild animals get from mass myths and phobia. Especially Hollywood keep bringing more and more new ideas how to terrify us from animals like Anacondas,

    at first I was thinking "wow! so majestic!" then I kept scrolling and there's a dude w/ a surf board...I was a bit disappointed...I imagined a young girl in a pale dress, looking wise beyond her years, standing in the sand seeing a future only she and the king could see...I would buy that print :) all in all though your art is really amazing, thanks for sharing!

    This guy needs a sword or bow/arrow pointing in the direction they're both looking, but even w/o that your work is fabulous. It could easily be blended with some elegant fantasy. You should be proud of yourself Eben!
