INFINITY. Maybe creativity isn't about having infinite ideas. Maybe it's about trusting that if you keep showing up, another one is always waiting.

The New Book of Beasts A Medieval Bestiary of Modern Human Nature

What if medieval bestiaries described the habits of modern people instead of mythical creatures?

For the Recraft × Contra Styles Challenge, I created Illuminated Bestiary, a custom Recraft Style inspired by public-domain illustrations from 13th–15th-century manuscripts.

I used historical references from the Public Domain Image Archive to explore medieval animal anatomy, ornamental details, ink drawings, and muted natural pigments.

Then I applied the style to eight imaginary beasts, each representing a familiar modern behavior: overthinking, people-pleasing, doomscrolling, procrastination, ghosting, perfectionism, attention-seeking, and impostor syndrome.

The result is a collection of creatures that look like they belong in a centuries-old manuscript, even though their habits are very much our own.
