The Baffler

For this fictional piece in The Baffler, I illustrated a surreal world where Detective Bobby Potemkine embarks on an investigation. Inspired by 70s retro-futuristic posters, I centered Bobby on a grassy ledge surrounded by anthills with human faces. Behind him, a cityscape stretches out, with huge mushrooms sprouting from the buildings. Three glowing moons hover in the background. The illustration captures the playful, mysterious tone of the story, blending fantasy with the bizarre.
