"Embrace your beast" - by Benjamin Malejko who is a German new media artist known for creating surreal, dark, and symbolic graphic artworks, often operating under the handle @palatiumanimi on social media.

The concept is rooted in the archetype of the "beast" from stories like Beauty and the Beast, where the monster's inner world must be loved to unlock transformation. "Embrace the beast" means radically accepting, acknowledging, and integrating the repressed, darker, or "wilder" parts of oneself—often called the shadow self—to achieve wholeness and healing.

There are numerous computer games as well as master thesis works examining the appeal to humans.

SO I FINALLY MADE A FRIKKIN MOTHMAN! I wanted to keep him a surprise until I got the foil print in! I'm SO pleased with him! I really enjoyed working with inks on this one!

I have him available for pre-order on my etsy in both mini prints and full sized prints! They should be shipped out by the end of the month!
