McKinney

Aaron's illustrations combine a childlike fixation on funny creatures and odd hybrids with a peculiar, nightmarish monumentalism. Bold colors and watercolored, colorblock backgrounds frame the pieces, while fairytale-ish spotlights illuminate key players. But the key is the absolute believability of McKinney’s completely fantastical, fabricated reality. Whatever the assignment, though, his work is always highly original and strikingly recognizable. His drawings force a sweeping pocket of strangely comforting completion—an aesthetic brace that lets us refocus our attention, however temporarily.

What's Your Measure of Success?

You are only as good as your last Illustration (project/artwork/you get the idea).

Do You Consider Yourself a True Artist?
....I guess,... wait, i dunno?...Yes?

What Do You Dream to Do With Your Characters?
Make People happy, in that strange kinda way.
