# Psychedelic Kitty Illustrations The Art of Audrey May Erickson Features Fierce Felines By Francis Tiangson | Published 2011-03-15 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/audrey-may-erickson References: [lostateminor](http://www.lostateminor.com/2011/03/14/audrey-may-erickson) & [audreymayerickson](http://audreymayerickson.com/) Audrey May Erickson has produced some of the fiercest [feline artworks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/playful-volume-2) that I have ever come across. The furry four-legged creatures depicted in this collection become freaky, glowing-eyed monsters at the hands of Audrey May Erickson. Not your typical household kitties, these [furry companions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/4am-stories) have a [black magic mystic](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-psychedelia) that exudes from their black coats. With fangs out and beams of neon light shooting out of their eyes, the cats Audrey May Erickson creates are far from ordinary. These felines are dark, mysterious and would probably belong to an evil villain out to take over the world. As a person who already has a fear of cats, these images make me feel a bit uneasy. These Audrey May Erickson works are like creepy scenes from one of my nightmares. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.9/10 - Popularity: 57% | Activity: 53% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Psychedelic Illustrations:** Illustrators can experiment with psychedelic themes to create attention-grabbing and unique designs. - **Monsterization of Household Pets:** Artists and other creatives can explore new ways to reinterpret everyday pets or objects, and turn them into something unexpected and unique for niche audiences. - **Creepy Artwork:** Artists can push boundaries and experiment with creepy themes to create edgy and provocative works that might resonate with certain audiences. ### Who This Affects Most - **Illustration:** Illustrators and designers can leverage the trend towards psychedelic and creepy themes to create unique graphic designs, marketing materials and art pieces for clients or self-promotion. - **Pet Supplies and Accessories:** Pet product manufacturers can explore new designs and marketing strategies inspired by the monsterization of household pets, creating products that target niche audiences with unique and edgy pet supplies. - **Horror and Fantasy:** Industries related to horror, fantasy, and alternative lifestyles can leverage the appeal of the creepy and dark themes seen in Audrey May Erickson's artwork to target niche audiences with products or experiences that speak to these interests. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Anime Horror-Style Reimaginations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/junji-ito-artwork.md) - [Halloween-Themed Cat Goods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/raw-emotions-2.md) - [Adorable Cat Milk Cartons](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adorable-blue-cat.md) - [Cat-Inspired Fuzzy Frames](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dry-studio-petbrick-65.md) - [Feline-Graphic Limited Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eames-fiberglass.md) - [Creature-Inspired Home Good Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/charles-jeffreys-loverboy.md) - [Striking Urban Wildlife Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clare-allin.md) - [Spooky Charming Pet Portraits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crown-paw.md) - [Artful Elevated Litter Boxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/doggy-bathroom-1.md)
