“You can never have too many Frankenstein pictures” says artist Kevin Nowlan on his blog, a treasury of gorgeous illustrations.
The pencil and gouache Frankenstein here is a work in progress. Though several steps away from a final, fully realized portrait, the classic Monster’s unsettling presence has already been captured, mute and solemn, with a flinty, dead-eye stare.

Interesting touch and words of wisdom.
Nowlan's Frankenstein captures a timeless unease, doesn't it? Like when you're stuck on a tough level of slope unblocked , that feeling of relentless pursuit is palpable. The Horrors of It All calls this blog a "must-read," and I agree. Nowlan's art, much like that game's simple premise, possesses an addictively compelling quality.
