AJ Fosik must have some dark places in his mind (and a way with wood) to come up with these imaginary creatures. There will be monsters landing in San Francisco at the White Walls Gallery when his series “There’s Aliens in Our Midst” arrives.
Every one of his creations is made entirely of wood, nails and vibrant paint. I love that his creatures also have multiple eyes too. This is some scary stuff!
