I can\u2019t get the images of malformed humans with oversized and tangled anatomy out of my mind. This seemingly endless portrait series is drawn with childlike abandon by Daniel Williams. Despite the simplistic, smudgy style, each rough line is drawn with purpose. There are so many of these odd little people that I can\u2019t help admiring the artist\u2019s ability to dream up countless characters with their own story to tell. If I had seen one of these human oddities on their own, I don\u2019t think it would have fascinated me as much as seeing the consistency between every single one of Williams\u2019 huge portfolio of drawings. It\u2019s a mysterious effect that leaves me simultaneously impressed and uneasy.<\/p>\n\n\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"creepy portrait\" src=\"https:\/\/www.doodlersanonymous.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/da-williams-02.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"creepy portrait\" src=\"https:\/\/www.doodlersanonymous.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/da-williams-03.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"creepy portrait\" src=\"https:\/\/www.doodlersanonymous.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/da-williams-04.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"creepy portrait\" src=\"https:\/\/www.doodlersanonymous.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/da-williams-06.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"creepy portrait\" src=\"https:\/\/www.doodlersanonymous.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/da-williams-05.jpg\"><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This seemingly endless portrait series is drawn with childlike abandon by Daniel Williams. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":24,"featured_media":9844,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"none","_seopress_titles_title":"","_seopress_titles_desc":"","_seopress_robots_index":"","_uag_custom_page_level_css":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[3953],"tags":[1826,1861,2579,3344,2350],"views":183,"uagb_featured_image_src":{"full":["https:\/\/www.doodlersanonymous.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/10092015174048312771.jpg",1100,1700,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/www.doodlersanonymous.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/10092015174048312771-150x150.jpg",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/www.doodlersanonymous.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/10092015174048312771-194x300.jpg",194,300,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/www.doodlersanonymous.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/10092015174048312771-768x1187.jpg",768,1187,true],"large":["https:\/\/www.doodlersanonymous.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/10092015174048312771-663x1024.jpg",663,1024,true],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/www.doodlersanonymous.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/10092015174048312771-994x1536.jpg",994,1536,true],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/www.doodlersanonymous.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/10092015174048312771.jpg",1100,1700,false]},"uagb_author_info":{"display_name":"Jaanelle Yee","author_link":"https:\/\/www.doodlersanonymous.com\/author\/jaanelle-yee\/"},"uagb_comment_info":0,"uagb_excerpt":"This seemingly endless portrait series is drawn with childlike abandon by Daniel Williams.","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.doodlersanonymous.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2278"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.doodlersanonymous.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.doodlersanonymous.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.doodlersanonymous.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/24"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.doodlersanonymous.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2278"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.doodlersanonymous.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2278\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":16548,"href":"https:\/\/www.doodlersanonymous.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2278\/revisions\/16548"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.doodlersanonymous.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9844"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.doodlersanonymous.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2278"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.doodlersanonymous.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2278"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.doodlersanonymous.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2278"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
