By Vika https://pictolic.com/article/my-11-hand-drawn-imaginary-insects-inspired-by-the-world-of-spirited-away.htmlI'm artist and illustrator Richard Wilkinson AKA "Arthropoda iconicus" and I draw and animate insects inspired by pop culture. Arthropoda iconicus is a vast collection of artworks illustrating imaginary insects (and a few other arthropods) that hold within them a resemblance to some specimen of popular culture - a film or TV character, a vehicle, a building, a shoe, or a bag.
My latest collection is an homage to Studio Ghibli's masterpiece "Spirited Away". How many of the characters do you recognize? Add your guesses to the comments!
