Iain Macarthur

Everytime I looked at a new image produced by Iain Macarthur it shocked me even more - by taking things like birds, bears and skulls that are drawn quite a lot and adding his own textures that actually remind me a little bit of japanese tattoos.
The patterns that he uses to create textures on the animals/objects make them much more visually engaging.

They are a perfect example of how beautiful black and white imagery can be - if these had colour, it would risk overpowering the fine details and it really doesn't need any colour to attract any attention.
