The Baffler

For this fictional piece in The Baffler, I illustrated a surreal world where Detective Bobby Potemkine embarks on an investigation. Inspired by a 70s retro-futuristic vibe, I centered Bobby on a grassy ledge surrounded by anthills with human faces, whimsical flowers, and bushes. Behind him, a cityscape stretches out, with enormous mushrooms sprouting from the buildings. Three glowing moons hover in the background, adding a dreamy, otherworldly feel to the scene. The illustration captures the playful, mysterious tone of the story, blending fantasy with the bizarre in a world full of strange wonders.
