Russian Artist’s 40 Illustrations Involve Dark Humor And Creepy Subjects
Interview With ArtistHere's a spooky visual treat for your Halloween. Konstantin Andreev is a professional from Moscow, Russia, who creates dark illustrations that look like they came out of someone's nightmare. Through his incredibly distinct and dynamic style, Konstantin invites us into his macabre and distressing universe.
He's no stranger to both surreal and real horror themes, and yet his works tend to have a certain cuteness and lightness to them, rather than straight-up horrifying themes. Some of his works inspire a chuckle (albeit a dark one), while others make one feel queasy, but in any case, his design is definitely unmistakable.
More often than not, his most productive periods are right before Halloween because he religiously participates in every Inktober. For those of you who don't know, Inktober is a month when illustrators try to dish out an illustration a day. Just to make it even more challenging, he also uses an egg timer. The deadline makes everything even more horrific (in a good way)!
"I am a professional ... non-artist," Konstantin humbly says about himself in his bio on Instagram, which has a solid 68k followers. He is certainly excellent and completely professional: among his works are books, digital and 3D art, and, of course, illustrations. So, if you feel brave enough, step right into his spooky gallery, and appreciate his horribly beautiful illustrations.

Maybe that so-called "poisoned apple coma" was just a big hangover after all.

That reminds me of the German folk song "On the Swabian railway": A Swabian (who have the stereotype of being extremely thrifty) farmer buys a billy goat on the market and wants to take the train back home. After finding out that he has to pay a fee for the goat too, he just ties it to the last rail car and tells it to run along. When he comes to collect his goat at the station, there's just the head left. Of course, he blames the conductor for driving too fast. I'm sure it's based on a 19th century news report.
This is really great art, but I personally really don't like these. They all make me feel sad/uncomfortable
Are you sure it's the art pieces that make you feel uncomfortable? Some of them seem harmless to me.
