But dont turn off the lights!
Those images fascinated and frightened me.
Especially in the dark.
Back then, they didnt have a niche-y name.
Now they do and I was eager to read and reviewBig Eye Art: Resurrected & Transformed.
All the contents, recent work from some twenty-two artists, share one feature big eyes.
In fact, the artists self-identify as big-eye artists.
These enormous eyes are found on fairies and nymphs and other nearly-but-not-quite human characters in cartooned and caricatured forms.
Oh, and some cats.
And it might be a safe guess for a fair percentage of the participants.
And way off for others.
The genre may not charm everyone, of course.
One man or womans cute is anothers ugly.
But not everyone finds babies appealing.
Theres bound to be something for everyone.
I enjoyed the images as well as the inspirations cited by each artist.
