Melancholy Villain Sketches

Erica Eyres Artwork Begs You to Smile

Canadian artist Erica Eyres creates dramatic works of art. Exaggerating the mouth and eyes of her characters, her artwork is reminiscent of Heath Ledger’s portrayal of iconic villain the Joker.

Looking through Erica Eyres' body of work, I get delightful chills down my spine. The work is creepy and haunting and I can’t take my eyes off the embellished features of her character’s faces. Check out more of her artwork and risqué sketches on her website.
