GALLERY – The Real Monster, Mental Illness Portrayed As Monsters By Artist

We are only recently beginning to really talk about mental illness in this country by trying to understand and have an open discussion about how people are suffering in their personal lives.

Artist Toby Allen decided to take this approach to mental illness in a very different way. Allen has portrayed mental illness as monsters and has a wonderful reason as to why he is doing this.

"The artwork is not at all intended to make light of these conditions but instead is intended to give these intangible mental illnesses some substance and make them appear more beatable as physical entities," Allen commented.

For more of his illustrations, you can head over to his Tumblr account.
