Mini Monsters, Big Style
Pintachan brings spooky charm and retro flair to Elvira’s First Book of Monsters, an officially licensed children’s board book.
Written by Elvira (Mistress of the Dark), Pintachan was entrusted with creating engaging, playful visuals to introduce classic horror icons; vampires, zombies, witches, ghosts, aliens and more, to young readers and enduring fans alike.
As an officially licensed early-concept board book featuring glow-in-the-dark highlights on the cover, the project demanded a tone that balanced creepy fun with youthful accessibility.
Pintachan infused each whimsical monster with colourful character, resulting in a visually lively and mischievously charming book that delights audiences with its style, humour, and just the right touch of spookiness.
