Dan Hillier

Dan is influenced by dusty old books read by botanists, zoologists and the odd anatomist from the 1900's, and then he mixes them all together quite literally to create strangely beautiful pictures.

There is a gallery of his “altered engravings” on his site, along with pen and ink drawings and other works. Hiller also has a blog in which he posts about his most recent work, including the piece above, bottom, which is a still from an upcoming animation in collaboration with Tom Werber for an indie single by Losers.

An interesting aspect of Hillier’s work is showcased in a blog post about a number of people who have chosen Hillier’s images as subjects for tattoos.
