Travis Louie
Travis Louie’s paintings are inspired by 19th-century portrait photographs. Instead of people, however, his subjects are goofy-looking monsters. His work is beyond mere art for children, however. There is a refined eeriness to his pieces that give them depth and an elusive quality that really makes them stand out.

Love love this. Reminds me of artist Justine Austen’s Monster Zoo creations at the Cairns gallery: https://secure.kickarts.org.au/catalog/index.php?cPath=23_88&osCsid=3a0a3a5e6a93ca9aaa6ec23d331504ea
