There's no doubt that Hixon’s characters are [freaky-looking](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/surreal-street-art-1), but beyond that, the images convey the powerful bond within a family. The artwork reflects Thornton’s tale in a very scary way, hence an "adults only" sticker will be added to it upon its release. Each of the characters in the art has uniquely freakish features. There is one image that captures the family in a beautiful moment together looking quite happy, while the rest feature an adventurous [horror story](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uniqlo-and-junji-ito). Andy Hixon definitely did a great job with this series of works. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.2/10 - Popularity: 66% | Activity: 52% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Freaky Family Art:** Creating art that portrays family in a unique and unconventional way. - **Adults Only Art:** Producing art that is specifically targeted for adult audiences only. - **Graphic Novel Art:** Creating a unique style of artwork to accompany graphic novels that tells a story. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Graphic Novel Industry:** Creating works of art for graphic novels that tell unique and unconventional stories. - **Book Publishing Industry:** Working with artists and authors to create visually stunning books that appeal to specific audiences. - **Entertainment Industry:** Producing content that is geared towards adults and incorporates unique and unconventional art styles. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Mind-Bending Graphic Novels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/incal.md) - [Horrific Beer-Themed Comics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/garage-beer.md) - [Retro Drawing-Inpsired Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/family-project.md) - [Anime Horror-Style Reimaginations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/junji-ito-artwork.md) - [Striking Urban Wildlife Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clare-allin.md) - [Revived Retro Animations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stranger-things-animated-series.md) - [Curated Horror Subscriptions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-tales-of-the-weird.md) - [Personalized Christmas Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/personalized-christmas-book.md) - [Hyper-Realistic Flesh Objects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/junji-ito.md)
