I’ve always loved when artists make something like a cartoon character a little more in tune with reality. These drawings are by Tim O'Brien, who created a Charlie Brown with a very realistic look.
The piece was made as a submission to a show titled, ‘MONSTERS?’ in Santa Monica at the Corpro Gallery. The show opened July 11th, so make sure to check out Tim O’Brien’s Charlie Brown monster either in the gallery above or in person.
