¡Alebrije!
Alebrijes are Mexican folk art sculptures of whimsical, mythical creatures. They are loved for their bright colors and intricate pattern-work. I had been gifted a small Alebrije figure and was Inspired by it's design - this illustration was the result. My goal was to create a creature with a cool silhouette, hand-painted pattern work, and vibrant colors that reflected the folk art it was inspired by.
