Animals and creatures Illustrations ( Artist Martin Hargreaves )

Martin Hargreaves specialises in illustration, editorial and advertisement, he is now located in  Winchelsea Sussex.

I personally don't find most of his illustration work appealing due to how he uses a element of satire and adds it to iconic illustrations and paintings from the past and recreate them in his own way and to me i do not find it too appealing.

Here he has done a illustration of a earth worm with a horror / fantasy element to it and this is shown by the huge mouth filled with carnivorous teeth and tenticles surrounding the mouth. He has put the illustration of the worm inside a illustration of a book, and this gives the hole illustration an intellectual effect because it seems to be giving the person information about this fantasy creature.

In my opinion this image works well in a hole because i find illustrations of fantasy creatures and stuff to do with horror very appealing and I like how the illustration its self isn't to detailed but how he has coloured in and shaded the creature he helps bring it off the page.
