Hungarian artist Szoki has created a body of work showcasing notorious horror movie characters. Szoki's collection is titled Boogey Men.
He makes his posters as sketches to start, then goes over to Adobe Photoshop or Illustrator for the magical transformation.
When looking at Boogey Men, one cannot help but smile a bit because there is a sense of familiarity with the crazed characters. His artwork has such simplicity to it, but the colors are perfect at representing the theme of each character. There are also clever phrases on each; for example, Freddy Kruger's says "Elm Street-Sleep Disorder Center."
Szoki's work is not for sale; however, he says it will be in time -- perhaps as t-shirt designs or hi-res photos. When that times comes, you are not going to want to miss out on the opportunity to own a piece of his work.
