Why do snakes appear in so much artwork? Maybe it’s their history as a mythological symbol, or their popularity within heavy metal and tattoo cultures, but somehow they manage to slither their way into all kinds of graphics. In today’s inspiration showcase I round up a variety of designs and illustrations that feature serpents in some way, including posters, t-shirt designs, product packaging and even some great brand designs. There’s a mix of different visual styles, from meticulously detailed hand drawn illustrations to simplified vector art.

This is awesome! Great works.
My favourite’s: Graveyard by Aaron Horkey.
Poor snakes! The popular iconography wants them evil, cunning and smarmy whilst in fact they are tender, endearing and incredibly stupid – I should know: as a boy I kept a few at home for the joy of my mother :-)
Yet, despite the awfully bad press they got thanks to the Bible, they still are an excellent graphic motif – congratulations!
This is really great stuff! Keep on the good work!
