Do they still make you nervous? Well, you haven’t met Justin Pape's team of [cartoony monsters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-monster). These paintings feature monsters from 'We Kill You,' a [lifestyle brand](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kenny-scharf-and-axel) created by Toronto artist Justin Pape. Pape's mission is to create a brighter world that is happy and more fun for everyone. These pictures are the merging of Justin’s [graphic design work](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/artist-logo-remix) and his team of cutesy characters like a bat, ghost, Sasquatch, ape, bunny, and bear. Justin Pape's work will hopefully get rid of that nasty stereotype of bad, mean monsters. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.5/10 - Popularity: 48% | Activity: 18% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Modern](https://www.trendhunter.com/modern) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Monster Art:** Artists and designers can create monster art with brighter colors and friendlier themes to create a more positive representation of monsters. - **Lifestyle Brands:** Creating a lifestyle brand around unique art and characters is a trend that can attract consumers looking for something more playful and fun. - **Psychedelic Paintings:** Using bright and vivid colors to give traditional art forms a new psychedelic twist is becoming increasingly popular with audiences seeking new experiences in art. ### Where This Applies - **Art and Design:** Artists and designers can create new and innovative ways of portraying characters using bright colors and a playful theme. - **Clothing and Apparel:** We Kill You has created a brand that can extend to clothing and apparel, allowing consumers to wear unique and playful designs. - **Marketing and Advertising:** Using unique art and characters for marketing and advertising campaigns can create a more memorable and engaging experience for consumers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Playful Character Graphic Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/monsters-collection.md) - [Cartoonish NFT Collectibles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/i-like-you-youre-weird.md) - [Apocalypse Post Pandemic Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/contemporary-urban-art.md) - [Designer Toy Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/monsters-by-monsters-now-and-then.md) - [Monster-Adorned Capsule Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/capsule-collections.md) - [Artistic Rum Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/artists-of-the-abyss.md) - [Artist-Designed Collectible Dining Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/killer-napkins.md) - [Monster Trading Cards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/topps-chrome-labubu.md) - [Character Art-Infused Leather Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moynat-x-kasing.md)
