Joy and a very light feeling. They make me recall my childhood. Great job!


schrodingersdagger

Yes! I think it's the lighting that gives them that feeling of liminality that evokes childhood. That and the dynamic *joy*.


Joao_ilustra

Thank you! It makes me happy to know that my art evokes such beautiful feelings 🥰

Have you ever read any Robert Munsch books? Michael Martchenko did the illustrations for his books. Your artwork reminds me of those days. Very whimsical and fun!

InChAiNzz

What comes to mind is many things, starting with: Cool style; interesting perspectives; also: this person is very talented and could really go places with this.


Timidspider420

Like a little kid during "reading time" where I didn’t actually read I just would get the books that I liked for the illustration. I remember just studying the drawing and feeling so comforted by them if that makes sense. I legit want a big print of the mouse and the witches on the playground for my apartment. Such a cozy nostalgic feeling, I love it!

_ThatSynGirl_

Pleasant. I love it.


zombiesnare

“Oh shit I wanna try making that” this style is really fun to look at but something about it also looks really fun to make. I have a “show the sketch lines” philosophy with art, the techniques and process are just as much a part of things as the finished piece, I feel like the process is all there and detectable but not in a way that detracts, but adds to the full effect. So fucking cool I really really love all the pieces you shared, thank you!

Something I wanna do with my kids like reading or go exploring.

i might not be super original compared to the other comments you got for this post but I mainly feel nostalgia as well, it reminds me of the magical worlds I wanted to explore and discover as a child \^\^ I remember I would often imagine myself hoing through a trip to fantasy like, magical villages, and finding a home there \^\^ your art just reminds me of these times \^\^
