In an illustration celebrating Parks and Recreation character Ben Wyatt’s board game Cones of Dunshire, Ben and Leslie stand in a surreal landscape, the ground made of hexagons and speckled with colorful cone trees and a waffle sun rising in the distance.

Super Mario, illustrated in a realistic style, scratches his head as he looks ahead at a red brick path full of obstacles: turtles, green pipes with Venus fly traps, and goombas. A castle sits on a green hill in the distance as turtles with wings fly alongside the path.

#artistsonbluesky #illustration #beetlejuice
In an illustration inspired by Beetlejuice, a girl in a school uniform dances in the sky above a floating Carpenter Gothic style house. Below the house, the arch of a giant striped snake appears to dive into the hill above a small community of rural homes. Globes of light dangle in the colorful sky above, a gradient of blue to purple to magenta.
