Little Monsters

May 7, 2013 8:25 AM

Anya Stasenko and Slava Leontiev are Ukranian porcelain artists who create monsters both real and imaginary. The magic is how they're painted-sometimes with shapes, sometimes with organic patterns, sometimes with a scene, and sometimes containing a whole story.

They look like highly evolved Pokemons. I approve.

These are breathtakingly beautiful and fun. I want to see illustrated books and movies with these designs, so amazing.

I think I am going to pretend these are the mutant warbeasts the Precious Moments Alliance sends to do battle against the Imperium of Hummel.

These have the richness that I associate with the most beautiful children's books. Rich in every detail and working with an internal mythology. I could dream with these jewel-like things tucked under my pillow whispering me to adventure.
