Night Imagined as a Human-like Figure in New Black and White Illustrations by David Álvarez
Illustrator David Álvarez (previously) is fascinated by working with shadows and light, finding black and white drawings to be one of his favorite ways to solve the images he conjures in his head. His most recent series, I Dreamed I Was the Night, follows a dark figure as it stalks, sits, and sleeps throughout the countryside. The night-cloaked being is dotted with twinkling stars, and in one particular illustration pulls a bright moon away from his face like a mask. The series of images is currently an online catalog, and Álvarez has plans on turning the collection into a narrative for a story. You can view more of his black and white illustrations on Instagram.
