Zachary Sweet "A Death in the Family" 8x10
"My work is a mix of monsters, creeps, and anxiety-filled weirdos - among other beautiful and horrible ladies and gents. I create paintings and illustrations that entice the viewer to look at the macabre in a whimsical light. Inspired by the supernatural, near-death experiences, and the ghosts that surround us. My work carries an element of playfulness, although I depict dark subject matter, I tend to instill a satirical component in my work, in hopes to convey the overall madness of the human condition. I don't consider myself mad. But I'm not afraid to leave people wondering. I utilize my dreams, nightmares, and neuroses as my main point of inspiration, trying to create visions that are as real to me as anything else in our physical world."
