Eelus Ink_d Monster papercut

The Monster, by Eelus.

When new work by Brighton based artist Eelus dropped into my inbox I knew it was the perfect thing to share on Halloween. Horrorshow is his new body of work, currently showing at the Ink-d Gallery space in Brighton, and focuses on his obsession with horror movies.
