I bet you know this by now, but I am very interested in fears and phobias. I was searching around and found this incredible artist (Shawn Coss) who portrays phobias in such a creative way. Some of the images are a little graphic, but nothing too explicit. I hope you find these images as intriguing as I do. Sometimes I do research on phobias and how the mind interacts with fear when I’m bored (nerd alert). One of my friends once asked me why I write about fear so much. Though fear is more of a negative subject, my posts are not necessarily on the negative side; they’re about how relatable these fears are and how you can easily conquer them. In addition, I find it easier to write about frightening, depressing subjects. Most of my posts are titled with a certain phobia to educate the audience of that fear’s name and to shed a light on the basic topic of the post. In a way, they are therapy sessions by explaining the phobia and thinking of ways to overcome it. The reader is both the patient and therapist. Now, enjoy these chilling illustrations!
