TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE.....

When a favorite illustrator of mine collides with my favorite holiday I love it. Leo Di-Fazio is a French hyper realistic sketch artist, them mixes it in with digital illustration and other techniques to get a very unique look to his works, which are recognized for their evocative, and rich detail and a distinct blend of portraiture, folklore and mythic, homoerotic and spiritual symbolism. His finished product often blends a poetic atmosphere with striking color contrasts.  His portfolio heavily showcases allegorical figures, historical portraits, and at times depictions of Greek Gods. In addition to his art he also collaborates with the French design house La Kigne 29, in which his designs are adapted onto high end home decor textiles, wall hangings, cushion covers and printed canvases. I'm not opposed to this version of Halloween, with tricks that treat!

  1. Great illustrations, although Di Fazio uses AI (and he missed the extra thumb on the incredibly sexy illustration of the two guys kissing).

    2. I personally don't mind some of the AI in this since the artists does the sketches first. Most of it is his work with the AI adding touches. But the thumb is funny. I thought it was a skin tag, LOL.
