Danish illustrator and author specializing in horror-themed drawings
John Kenn Mortensen, born in Denmark in 1978, is a Danish illustrator and author known for his eerie, imaginative works influenced by Scandinavian roots and Nordic folklore. His monochromatic illustrations evoke unease and curiosity, blending the macabre with the whimsical.
Mortensen's "Post-it Monsters" series transforms everyday sticky notes into intricate, haunting drawings of grotesque creatures and surreal scenes. This innovative use of a mundane medium highlights his unique artistic vision.
With a background in television and film as a writer and director for children's shows, Mortensen infuses his illustrations with a cinematic quality and narrative depth. His work often invites viewers to piece together stories from visual clues.
Mortensen's art, marked by strong emotional responses and evocative imagery, has earned him critical acclaim and a dedicated following. His illustrations offer a fresh perspective on horror and fantasy, showcasing his mastery of technique and imagination.
