Hauntingly Adorable Illustrations by Peppa Potter

UK-based artist Peppa Potter creates captivating illustrations that seamlessly blend the cute and the creepy, the delightful and the eerie. Peppa is an illustrator with a knack for creating enchanting, otherworldly visuals. Her work is heavily inspired by folklore, mythology, and the natural world, resulting in a blend of fantasy and reality that’s distinctly her own.

Her “Abandoned Creatures” series features a variety of fantastical beings, each more adorable than the last. Peppa’s use of a greyscale palette and gentle lines harmonize to produce simple yet memorable compositions. Despite their sometimes eerie appearances, her creatures are not meant to inspire fear. Instead, they evoke a sense of empathy, a longing to understand their stories, their loneliness, their abandonment. This emotional connection is what makes “Abandoned Creatures” so compelling.
