Monsters are already freaky in nature but add a tonne of colour and an afro, and you’ve got something a little more frightening.
Nikhil Narayanan’s “Posters” collection is an eclectic and colourful rendition of monsters with a tribal feel about them.
Narayanan uses one main monster template and designs different creatures from the general image. These scary dudes look like they don’t want to be meeting new people or making new friends.
At least the colours are a little deceiving.
