Real Monsters – Mental Illnesses as Monsters

Toby Allen aka ZestyDoesThings created this beautiful and meaningful art series titled “Real Monsters”. It imagines mental illnesses as monsters and gives an explanation of what the monsters do when they attack you. Remember if you feel you are suffering from any type of mental illness to talk to someone and seek help. There is always help out there. It will get better. Here’s what the artist had to say about the series:

“The Real Monsters are reborn! Upon getting so much attention for my previous designs, I wanted to redesign the monsters and develop the concept a little more. You’ll notice most of the monsters have subtle alterations and the descriptions have been changed to better reflect my original concepts.

Disclaimer: The artwork is not at all intended to make light of these conditions but instead is intended to give these intangible mental illnesses some substance and make them appear more manageable as physical entities.”
