JUSTIN SCHROYER (b.1990)

My art tends to be on the darker side...  That might be an understatement.  Scenes featuring graphic violence or grotesque creatures are a regular motif in my body of work.  To even out this somewhat sadistic nature of some of my illustrations, I also enjoy art with a pinch of humor.  The sense of humor injected into my art varies from the mildly amusing to sheer insanity depending on the subject matter, but not necessarily in a cheeky in tone.  Another large aspect of my artwork is my tendency to develop large expansive back-stories for even the simplest of illustrations. Horrific or humorous, the details both in the illustration itself and from the narrative element I add to my artwork are a big part of what keep me motivated.
