Creative Madness Illustration – It Came from Beyond

This creative madness illustration shows a programmer in his man cave at night, smoking a cigarette in front of his computer. That’s how it sometimes feels to me when I work all night on a project. The illustration is dedicated to all programmers, creatives and nerds working on their projects into the late night and feeling the madness creeping in.

This personal project was inspired by the programmer & entrepreneur Sergey Ivancheglo aka. Come From Beyond, creator of NXT and co-founder of cryptocurrency IOTA. I wanted to capture the creative madness that often goes hand in hand with genius and late nights spent working on something you’re passionate about.

I’m sure many of you can relate to the feeling of being in your own little world, completely absorbed in your work, not even noticing the time passing by. And when you finally come up for air, you realize it’s 3 am, and you’ve been going strong for 12 hours straight. That’s when the magic happens – when creativity flows and tiredness doesn’t stand a chance against pure adrenaline.

So next time you find yourself in the middle of a creative all-nighter, take a moment to appreciate the madness that accompanies brilliance, and know that you’re not alone. We’re all in this together! Mad creative programmers, creative illustrators, creative writers alike. Embrace the madness!
