It's All in the Eyes

I am completely in love with Travis Louie's art. It's mesmerizing in so many different ways, and leaves you wondering about the lives of his characters and stories behind the portraits. First, you notice the freaky nature of these creatures that are surprisingly human, then the eyes that look up at you literally pop off the page, finally, you become engrossed with the soft and hard focus play throughout the Victorian and Edwardian pieces.
