Kamila is a cornucopia of dreadfulness. Her works at once beautiful
and terrible, each piece like being tickled by Death’s cold
little fingers, every bewitching creation a world I want to know
more about. — Brom Welcome to the mind of Canadian horror-art
sensation Kamila Mlynarczyk (better known as @WoodedWoods).
Featuring art created between 2017–2019 this art book charts her
progression from teaching herself how to draw to creating one-panel
illustration art. It also features a chapter on her famous art
dolls. Her artist notes and narrative describe her fascinating
creative process and many of the inspirations behind her countless
creepy, unsettling, yet poignant (and often hilarious) sketches.
While the rhyme and reason behind why everyone needs a little snail
friend, why cute poops make this world a better place, and why
werewolves always hesitate before devouring the sacrificial
girl-child can at times simply be chalked-up to mischief, Kamila is
truly funny and relatable. To Kamila, nothing fictional can ever be
as frightening as reality, and so much of her inspiration comes
from the right here and now. She strives to depict the most
terrible things in a sympathetic light, and in that way they become
more beautiful than reality, more light-hearted than realistically
possible, and through their relatability they become cheeky and
charming—they become cathartic. Features: table of
contents, introductions by James O’Barr, creator of The Crow, and
Neil Christopher, writer and publisher, photos, sketches,
paintings, illustrations, and even on post-it note piece (see if
you can spot it!), also contains Kamila's list of things you should
read or watch to become well versed in the language of
horror. Â
