John Malta's borderline crazy illustrations, installations and paintings are inspired by "Abraham Lincoln, Turtle Boy,
Aaahh!!! Real Monsters, the Tuareg people of the Sahara Desert, Mystic Pizza People, Artie the Strongest Man in the World, Good vibes, and early punk/hardcore aesthetics and values." Obviously.
Apart from reminding us of
Aaah!!! Real Monsters, we can thank Malta for creating a family of pizza people who live in your stomach and escape with only the sunglasses on their faces. The 22-year-old artist is currently completing his Bachelor of Fine Art in Illustration at the Columbus College of Art and Design and has created poster art for The Black Lips and
The Jacuzzi Boys amongst others.
Part amazing, part lunacy, and a lot of monsters.
