Three weird drawings of pizza for April Fools Day. One is a biblically accurate angel where every pepperoni is an eye. Another is a snail made of pizza, with a crust shell. Third is a crude self portrait of the artist whose face is pizza.

🍕Mutation March, day 32 - pizza 🍕

What if pizza was a biblically accurate angel? What if pizza was a snail?? What if pizza was galusaurus??? 🤡

Three surreal drawings of beautiful horses. One is a horse that has been mutated into the shape of a hashtag/number sign. Second is a wheel like a terrifying angel—it has a large central eye with ten legs and five large noses radiating from it. Third is a horse head extending down into a singularly horse head, looking relatively normal compared to the other two.

✨🐴 Mutation March, day 31 - horse 🐴✨

It is tradition to close out the month with this prompt. There’s just something about these majestic animals that can so easily turn cursed. 🥰

Three surreal drawings of mosquitoes. One is a mosquito whose body curls into an at sign. Another is a mosquito made up of feathers and fluff with big cartoon eyes. The third is a mosquito combined with a vampire bat.

✨🦟Mutation March, day 30 - mosquito 🦟✨

The penultimate prompt! I’m so tired but so excited for tomorrow.

#surreal #artchallenge #mutationmarch2024

Three surreal drawings of geese. One is a white goose shaped into an ampersand. Another white goose has evolved into a biblically accurate angel. And a Canada goose has a decoy head with a massive mouth on its body that it is feeding with its feet that are hands.

🪿 Mutation March, day 29 - goose 🪿

It’s fun to imagine seeing a whole field of body-mouth geese all grazing together.

#artchallenge #cursedart #MutationMarch2024

Three drawings of surreal sugar gliders. One is shaped into a question mark. Another is reminiscent of a centipede with five pairs of legs all with webbing. The third sugar glider has radial symmetry, with a central mouth, six eyes and six little limbs with flaps running down the body to a single tail.

✨Mutation March, day 28 - sugar glider✨

A question mark, a centipede, and… some radial symmetry?

#artchallenge #mutationmarch2024 #surrealism

Three drawings of surreal tardigrades. One of them is shaped like an exclamation point. One is a literal moss piglet—pig features roughly assigned to tardigrade anatomy, covered in a layer of moss on top. And one is a yellow tardigrade with a central head five limbs radiating from it—a gold stardigrade.

✨ Mutation March, day 27 - tardigrade ✨

Gotta get creative for the Alphabet of the Absurd now that I’ve reached the end! Moss piglet is based on a sketch I did in MM’18. And for you, good job—a good stardigrade!

#MutationMarch2024 #surreal #artchallenge

Three drawings of strange goldfish. One is a goldfish that’s been stretched into the shape of the letter “Z.” Another is a goldfish but the body is a cube. And the third goldfish has been combined with a cavalier spaniel.

✨ Mutation March, day 26 - goldfish ✨

I really like how this batch turned out. 🧡

#artchallenge #petfish #surrealism #MutationMarch2024

Three surreal drawings of spiky animals. There is a porcupine shaped like a “Y.” A sea urchin has taken on a humanoid form, a head of all spikes with a grinning mouth, arms out for a hug. And a tenrec has been combined with a stingray.

✨Mutation March, day 25 - a spiky animal ✨

Here I have featured a porcupine, a sea urchin, and a tenrec.

#artchallenge #mutationmarch2024

Three drawings of surreal rhinoceroses. There is the letter “X” but the top two points are rhino heads and the bottom two points are rhino feet. There is a rhinoceros compromised of human-looking noses and eyes (a “eye-nostril-os,” if you’d like). Then there is a creature with a rhino face that’s been extruded into a noodle, as well as it’s forelimbs and body—all long squishy noodles.

🦏Mutation March, day 24 - rhinoceros🦏

Concepts like the “eye-nostril-os“ are a sure sign of late-stage #MutationMarch2024. I feel like I’m desperately reaching for ideas and I can’t tell if they’re good or not.

#artchallenge #rhino #surrealism

Three surreal drawings inspired by hornbills. One is two rhinoceros hornbill heads merged to form the letter “W.” Another is based on a helmeted hornbill but made to look more like a cute fantasy beast one could ride. The third is based on a crested hornbill, made to look like a strange mage with a central eye, two beaks each holding a magic orb, and wings wrapped around like a cloak.

✨Mutation March, day 23 - hornbill ✨

Just a few weird lil guys for this one.

#artchallenge #MutationMarch2024 #birds

Three surreal drawings of Komodo dragons. A pair of conjoined lizards and standing to form the letter “V.” A strange pink lizard’s body forms wave with each crest having another head, ending for a forked tongue tail. Then there is an adorable green Komodo dog dragon.

✨Mutation March, day 22 - Komodo dragon✨

The komodo dog dragon may need to be turned into stickers.

#MutationMarch2024 #lizard #surreal #art #artchallenge

Three surreal drawings inspired by yeti crabs. One is a cyclops crab creature with a singular arm reaching overhead. Another yeti crab is a cowboy character. And the third yeti crab has a tiny body and legs with enormous claws to for the letter “U.”

✨ Mutation March, day 21 - yeti crab ✨

The cowboy yeti crab is a callback to the shrimp sheriff I did for #MutationMarch 2022.

#artchallenge #mutationmarch2024 #crustaceans #surreal #characterdesign

Three surreal drawings of pinnipeds. A sea lion has been turned into a unicycle, with the feet as pedals and the head as the seat. A walrus has been warped into the shape of a “T.” And a ribbon seal has begun to unspool into waving ribbons.

✨🦭Mutation March, day 20 - pinniped 🦭✨

It’s a pinnipedaling unicycle, an unraveling ribbon seal, and the letter “T.”

#MutationMarch2024 #sealion #walrus #surrealism

Three surreal drawings inspired by dragonflies. One is made up of dandelion flowers, leaves, and root. Another dandelion has mutated into an eye, with wings for top lashes, legs for bottom lashes, and six dragonfly eyes forming the iris. The third drawing is a double-ended dragonfly shaped into an “S.”

✨ Mutation March, day 19 - dragonfly ✨
#art #surrealism #artchallenge #MutationMarch2024

There are four surreal drawings of flamingos. One is a crab-like creature whose claws are flamingo heads and it has eight flamingo legs. Another is a flamingo mutated into the shape of the letter “R.” The final two are a pair, perhaps in a courtship ritual. Their legs and body almost look normal, except they lack the iconic long necks, their bodies merging into massive beaks.

🦩Mutation March, day 18 - flamingo🦩

One of these weird friends has been claimed by carcinization! 😲

Three surreal drawings of mudskippers. One has mutated into a “Q.” Another is one large head with a fin mohawk, human feet, and beefy arms, ready to pick a fight with someone. The third is a pair of mudskippers, but they are actually those Yip Yip Martians from Sesame Street.

✨Mutation March, day 17 - mudskipper✨

#artchallenge #surrealart #MutationMarch2024

Three drawings of surreal siphonophores (which are naturally rather surreal looking creatures). A hula skirt siphonophore has been shaped into a “P.” A Portuguese man o’ war has been turned into a collection of human digestion system parts. Another man o’ war has become a haunting humanoid creature.

✨Mutation March, day 16 - siphonophore✨

Past the halfway point of this ridiculous #artchallenge! 🥳

#MutationMarch2024 #surrealism #art

Three drawings of surreal muntjac, a type of deer. One is a face with multiple eyes with flaps of skin emanating from them. Another muntjac has been shaped into the letter “O.” And another muntjac has been turned into a vinegaroon (a type of arachnid).

🦌 Mutation March, day 15 - muntjac 🦌

Have you seen videos of muntjacs’ faces? It’s pretty wild.

#nightmarefuel #artchallenge #surrealism #MutationMarch2024 #bodyhorror

Three strange drawings of trilobites brought to life. One is a double ended trilobite shaped into the letter “N.” Another trilobite is a slice of cherry pie. The third trilobite is a clown.

✨Mutation March, day 14 - trilobite✨

#surreal #artchallenge #MutationMarch2024

Three surreal drawings inspired by weevils. One is a weevil either split in half or merged with another weevil to form an “M.” Another is the head of a weevil whose eyes are a pair of smaller weevil heads, and those weevil heads each have another pair of even smaller weevil heads; there are also what appears to be a pair of weevil legs as antlers on it. The third drawing is a literal interpretation of a giraffe weevil.

🪲 Day 13 - weevil 🪲
I was so foiled by today’s letter. So many sketches just didn’t land for me. What I settled on is… okay. It’s fine if I don’t love every single one in this series.

#MutationMarch2024 #weevils #weird #artchallenge #surreal

A collection of strange drawings of warthogs. One is a warthog head and single large leg shaped into the letter “L.” Another is a warthog combined with an octopus. Then, there is a normal warthog head beside which is the next layer down—a bizarre wide-eyed face made of fleshy brain matter. Beside that is the next layer down—a haunting, skull-like shape.

✨🐗 Mutation March, day 12 - warthog 🐗✨

I’ve committed myself to three concepts per prompt for this challenge—but sometimes a concept requires more than one drawing to be fully realized.

#MutationMarch2024

Three surreal drawings of turkeys. There is a creature with a turkey body and two turkey heads, but the heads merge in the middle to form the face of a mandrill. Another turkey has been combined with a hairless cat—it is wearing a grey sweater to cover its flesh. Then there is a turkey that’s been shaped into the letter “K.”

✨🦃Mutation March, day 11 - turkey🦃✨

“K” is for turkey, mandrills and turkeys both have red and blue on their faces so naturally let’s combine them, and then… a purrkey.

#MutationMarch2024 #surrealart #weirdart

Three strange drawings based on caecilians, a type of limbless amphibian. One caecilian’s body is split open to reveal a mass of human feet spilling out. Another is a cluster of caecilians eating each other to form the letter “J.” And then there is a can of silly string shooting out colorful little caecilians, and the label on the can reads “caecilly string.”

✨ Mutation March, day 10 - caecilian ✨

So, I thought it would be funny to give a limbless animal some feet, but… I may have gone too far. 😨

#bizarrebeasts #MutationMarch2024 #weirdart #cursedart #sillystring #mutationmarch #surreal

Three surreal drawings of elephant shrews. One is a shrew with a cyclops eye and multiple limbs like an eldritch horror. Another is a melded form of shrews roughly in the shape of the letter “I.” And another is a shrew that is a little bus, whose wheels are smaller shrews curled up and the body has three windows, revealing bug passengers.

✨Mutation March, day 9 - elephant shrew ✨

All aboard the one-way elephant shrew bus for wee bugs! 😋

#MutationMarch2024 #weirdart #surreal

Four surreal drawings of leeches. One is a leech but it has cat ears, whiskers, and paws. Another is a melded cluster of leeches shaped like the letter “H.” The last two go together—one is a leech flattened and shaped like a square, the other has been shaped like an origami crane.

✨🪱 Mutation March, day 8 - leech 🪱✨

I need to speak to a manager here on the Internet—there are far too many photos of lamprey mouths when doing an image search for leeches. 😤

#MutationMarch2024 #weirdart #surreal

Three surreal concepts of bitterns. One bird is shaped like the letter “G.” One is an anthropomorphic businessman, complete with a little tie and briefcase. Another bird and its baby are shaped like tall spindles, rows of eyes running down the length with little talons poking out at the base.

✨Mutation March, day 7 - bittern✨

One whole week of nonsense! It feels at once like too much yet not enough.

#MutationMarch2024 #WeirdBirds #absurd #surreal #artchallenge #mutationmarch

Three illustrations of surreal camels. One is a camel contorted into the shape of the letter “F.” Another camel appears normal except its hump is a snow globe but filled with sand and pyramids. The third camel looks like a medieval monstrosity, limbs posed in a humanoid manner, and its eyes are set inside the nostrils.

✨🐪Mutation March, day 6 - camel🐫✨

Featuring the letter “F,” a sand globe, and a weirdo straight out of a medieval bestiary.

#MutationMarch2024 #surrealart #weirdart #watercolor #creaturedesign

Three surreal drawings of arachnids. There is a scorpion shaped like the letter “E,” a curled up spider made up of teeth and fleshy gums, and a tick but all the legs are human thumbs and the body is one giant thumb.

✨🕷️Mutation March, day 5 - arachnid🕷️✨

Meet one of the #MutationMarch all-stars! I feature this prompt every year, I just have so much fun with it.

#arachnophobia #nightmarefuel #bodyhorror #creepyart #surrealism #MutationMarch2024

Five surreal drawings of pufferfish. Three of them are citrus—one looks grumpy with spiky peel, the next has been peeled revealing a sweet soft orange pufferfish, and the third has lost one of its orange slices containing an eye. There is also a pufferfish shaped like the letter “D.” Finally, a pufferfish with horse legs and a magical unicorn horn.

✨🐡 Mutation March, day 4 - pufferfish 🐡✨

The sweet citrus fishes simply must become stickers. 😍
