120 Surreal And Slightly Morbid Illustrations By Virginia Mori
Young girls in dark dresses with black hair around their doll-like faces - these are the main characters of Italian illustrator who creates surreal drawings with a touch of horror.
Virginia Mori, 36, lives and works in Pesaro and Milan, Italy. Her favorite media are pencil, ink, and ballpoint pen on paper. The artist gain following because of her unique, dark and surreal style and imagery. "I can’t say how I arrived at this style," Virginia told to stylenochaser. "It has been a long and slow journey filled with a lot of research, but everything came very naturally, in a very instinctive way. I just followed what I like to do."
Artist's illustrations often have a melancholic or the nightmarish feel to them. "I am not trying to explain anything with certainty with my art. I just want to suggest strange feelings and situations in a metaphoric way."

Extreme sleep paralysis is what this makes me think of. I get it sometimes and it's really a weird feeling.
I wonder if it means anything that all the other legs have long pants and different shoes than hers/the front legs..? If they're not all "her legs" in a sense, it feels uncomfortably vulnerable, feeling like you can't get away, no privacy, aren't allowed to control the direction of your own body. That's what I get from it anyway.

An Ariana Grande concert... Or many Louises from Bob's Burgers...

That's a sweet one :) Sleep sets your mind free, letting it wander away to magical worlds.
So creative! I love the concept. Her illustrations of water though somewhat annoy me on account of their synthetic appearance, but it's still cool.
I am behind French doors but can't get them to close. The lions will eat me...

When you introduce a couple of your friends to each other, and they get along with each other better than they do with you.
This is the consequences of falling asleep while reading a horror book
Symbol : dropping a flag during football halftime, stopping on the correct line and everyone else chooses the other to step on leaving you standing alone. Forgetting your lines in a play and you just freeze up. I only experienced one. I have noticed others out of step and just freeze. I just hope this has happened to EVERYONE at least once so they can feel the horror that goes on in you.
"Oh very funny Charley, just you wait till I get you back in the stable , you are such a jerk on my day aren't you Charley...
Blood actually tastes quite good. It is rich, salty and slightly thick, but not too thick to make it weird.
