* ThatsNoMoon: In [[http://www.killahbeez.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/don-kenn-02.jpg one drawing]], the hills a couple people are walking on are actually giant creatures.

* OurFairiesAreDifferent / FairyGodmother: There is [[http://78.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m67j5sPbUJ1rspaa0o1_1280.jpg creature that appears to be a strange, twisted version of a Fairy Godmother]].

John Kenn Mortensen (known online as Don Kenn) is a Danish writer and director of children's shows. It's what he does in his spare time, though, that brought him online fame: drawing wonderfully detailed and darkly whimsical scenes of monsters and children... on ''[[MomentOfAwesome sticky notes]]''.

* WeirdBeard: [[http://78.media.tumblr.com/a528fd086aa3ba4bcaebb513c7068c47/tumblr_miy3cwg0jT1rspaa0o1_500.jpg This thing]] has what resembles a beard with a ''face'' in it.

* {{Grimmification}}: Some of his drawings seem to be dark twists on fairy tales, such as [[http://cdn.cavemancircus.com/wp-content/uploads/images/2014/august/creepy_post_it_note_art/creepy_post_it_note_art_3.jpg a Little Red Riding Hood with a VERY scary Big Bad Wolf]] and [[http://78.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m67j5sPbUJ1rspaa0o1_1280.jpg this creature, which appears to be a strange, twisted version of a Fairy Godmother]]

* InterspeciesFriendship: Heartwarmingly enough, this seems to be the case between [[http://78.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m6d0bgNWI01rspaa0o1_500.jpg some]] [[https://i.pinimg.com/736x/e4/38/55/e43855d226328f223d84d074f1eb4b81.jpg of]] [[http://www.trendzified.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/creepy-monsters-sticky-notes-drawings-don-kenn-20.jpg the kids]] [[http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-nk5iykwd6XE/UZnJiT3slrI/AAAAAAAAAyU/4c6rZLTxkXc/s1600/john343.jpg and monsters]].

* BodyHorror: Shows up now and then, such as the people with multiple stacked-on heads in [[http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-hPrxNmoQ4fw/UVs3ZkWLRuI/AAAAAAAAAws/9f9Y5om2-7E/s1600/john340.jpg this drawing]], or the two contorted beings in [[http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-GH_o0lmcrYE/VgfYbswZC9I/AAAAAAAABwk/aLlhB6o31-k/s1600/john433.jpg this one]].

* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: Usually, the children don't seem to react to the bizarre creatures around them with much surprise.

* OurFairiesAredifferent / FairyGodmother: There is [[http://78.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m67j5sPbUJ1rspaa0o1_1280.jpg creature that appears to be a strange, twisted version of a Fairy Godmother]].

* DeliberatelyMonochrome: Almost all his art is sepia-toned.

* AmbiguousSituation: what ''are'' these monsters? What is their relation to these kids? What's the story here? If anybody knows, it's Don Kenn, and he's not telling.

!! Tropes in his art:

* OurMonstersAreWeird: A fair amount of them.

* BodyHorror: Shows up now and then, such as the people with multiple stacked-on heads in [[http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-hPrxNmoQ4fw/UVs3ZkWLRuI/AAAAAAAAAws/9f9Y5om2-7E/s1600/john340.jpg this drawing]], or the two contorted beings in [[this one]].

----

Most of his art is [[DeliberatelyMonochrome sepia-colored,]] and features various people, usually children, interacting with otherworldly monsters, sometimes in a [[InterspeciesFriendship friendly]] way, sometimes [[NightmareFuel less so]].
