Reason #8: momo

I love finding quirky artists, and the other week I was fortunate enough to discover momo. Momo makes some of the most adorable icons I have ever seen in my life. How adorable? Here's an example:

A ghost with a knife

Prompt: "The thing that scares you most, but make it adorable."

You may notice that my prompt wasn't exactly what you'd describe as... conventional. There's good reason for it. As someone who has been on both sides of this: a point I always try to make is that you're going to this artist/freelancer/whatever because you enjoy what they make, so you have to trust them to make something good.

My prompt was vague because I knew momo would make something incredible, and I wanted to give him the space to do that. Having had conversations with momo since - it seems he agrees and relishes the opportunity to try fun and crazy stuff. Whenever he is taking comissions, and I can think of a slightly wacky-crazy prompt, I'll make sure to send it his way.

A dog with a large cup of coffee

Prompt: "What gets you out of bed in the morning?"

Whether it be a ghost with a knife, or a dog with a large cup of coffee, there is no denying that momo's work is incredibly charming. Do yourself a favour, and check out his ko-fi page.

Looking at both of the pieces of art brings that little bit of joy to my life every time I see them.
