Artist Jonathan Martinez combines graphic design with street art aesthetics to hand-paint rare and endangered animals. His vibrant illustrations - featuring giant pandas, tigers, Bigfoot, hummingbirds and more - appear to glow from within.
To do this, the artist used fluorescent pink when painting the animals. By employing eye-catching color schemes, Martinez made the faces of rare and endangered animals memorable.
Martinez began his creative practice in the field of wildlife art nine years ago after accepting an assignment in a college painting class. The California-based artist chose to create a series about bears, and while researching different species, learned that each animal he painted was endangered. Since then, Martinez has been raising awareness for animal conservation with his dazzling drawings.
