# Monster Tribalography Nikhil Narayanan's 'Posters' Collection is Aboriginally Crazy By Andrew Robichaud | Published 2009-06-15 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nikhil-narayanans-posters References: [behance.net](http://www.behance.net/Gallery/Posters/240179) & [behance.net](http://www.behance.net/evilnik) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/monsters-one-piece) of [monsters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/monsters-by-monsters-now-and-then) with a tribal feel about them. Narayanan uses one main monster template and designs different creatures from the general image. These [scary dudes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smashers-horror-house) look like they don’t want to be meeting new people or making new friends. At least the colours are a little deceiving. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.1/10 - Popularity: 15% | Activity: 9% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% 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 ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Tribal Monster Art:** Opportunities to disrupt traditional art forms by incorporating colorful tribal depictions of monsters. - **Colorful Eclectic Designs:** Opening up the possibility of bringing together unique, non-traditional combinations for product designs. - **Scary Characters in Pop Culture:** Opportunities to capitalize on the cultural fascination with horror and distinctly imaginative characters. ### Where This Applies - **Art:** The art world can benefit from incorporating unusual tribal-inspired monsters into artwork. - **Fashion:** Fashion designers can create colorful and unique clothing with monster designs. - **Entertainment:** Movie studios and game developers can adapt the scary characters from the collection to create new monsters for pop culture media. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Playful Character Graphic Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/monsters-collection.md) - [Monster-Adorned Capsule Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/capsule-collections.md) - [Creature-Inspired Home Good Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/charles-jeffreys-loverboy.md) - [Horror-Creature-Inspired Footwear Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/universal-monsters-collection.md) - [Witty Toy-Brand Horror Posters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/horror-poster.md) - [Movie-Themed Art NFTs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cheeky-kyser.md) - [Graphic Skate Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vans-otw-x-undercover.md) - [Cartoonish NFT Collectibles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/i-like-you-youre-weird.md) - [Creature-Like Floor Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-pink-robots-won.md)
