From the concrete jungle to lush tropical forests, Brooklyn-based artist Ian Ferguson's bold black-and-white illustrations draw viewers as much into the environment as to his quirky, Victorian-looking characters. He's an alumnus of the Art Institute of California San Diego, where he got a B.S. in graphic design, but considers his current skill set to have been self-taught. "I make most of my work from my head, from my imagination," Ferguson tells Creators. Working a job as a silk screen printer for a wallpaper company by day, the artist creates his own incredibly detailed worlds on his own time, publishing them all under the moniker Hydeon. The level of detail that goes into his ink on paper works, murals, and prints is simply incredible.
