Steem Cartoon : The Secret Kingdom of Punies

I love the imaginative, dreamy world that you have created. The aesthetics have a sort of naive, childlike quality with a subtle darkness <3 Have you heard of Henry Darger? He may interest you... he was an overlooked everyday worker in Chicago who, secretly, created a vast, surrealist and magical children's world in lengthy manuscripts... Anyway, thanks for sharing this lovely work!

Thank you @lanzee! I have never heard of Henry Drager but thanks for mentioning him.
I've googled him and I think his works are very peculiar. There's a deep contrast between the colors used and the subject of the illustration. Though I do find it a bit disturbing, it might shows some truth that he have experienced it or saw it in his life. In a way, his illustration has deep meanings behind them. And I do like illustration that hints meanings in them which gives it another quality of work. For me, I would love to spread more positive feelings that motivates and give an awareness. :)
