Beneath the gnarled embrace of an ancient tree, a goblin revels in the comfort of a vintage armchair, surrounded by a chaotic haven of “shinies” and curiosities. This hideaway brims with peculiar treasures: mushrooms of various shapes and sizes sprout from the ground, and shelves teeming with jars and trinkets line the scene. Barrels and crates overflow with bizarre specimens, and vines slither down from above, hinting at nature’s relentless encroachment.
The goblin, with a smug expression, clutches a small object, possibly his latest addition to the collection. The tree’s trunk itself is a labyrinth of knotted wood and secret compartments, some revealing their contents—glimmering bottles and hidden relics. The surroundings boast an eerie yet comforting ambiance, where the grotesque and the whimsical coalesce in perfect harmony.
This illustration captures the essence of Goblincore: a world where the traditionally unattractive becomes an object of fascination and delight. Perfect for those who find charm in the unexpected and beauty in the bizarre, this print is a must-have for collectors and lovers of nature’s oddities.
