Monsters everywhere !

Total chaos here this week as I launched a new Kickstarter campaign for the monsters. I'm going to be showing them at Dark Arts again this year here in Whitby and after thinking how interested people were in their individual stories, decided to make something of it. In this case, more monsters and, if we do well enough, a book about them.


We wanted to the project to reflect what it's like to live with these things so made our own short video black and white movie style, complete with wibbly stop motion. You can see that here.


We also used the time to create an entire folder for our favourite monster, Stephen, including a map of the asylum where he lurks, newspaper cuttings and patient files.


We've also tried to explain what it's like dealing with these things day in, day out ( hence Rich in full monster wrangling outfit). We love what we do but it can be hard work, they come and go when they please and make working with children and animals look like a breeze. So, if you have a minute to do something fun, pop over to our page and if you can, support us - either by pledging or sharing on social media. It all helps :)

Spicing things up


 It's all going very well in my new drawing corner (see last weeks post). I've now finished the drawing of the half a dried lime I was working on and it's up on Original Art under 100


 This was a particularly fiddly piece to do as the drawn area is only a few centimetres across but I'm pleased with the end result. As usual, it's worked in charcoal pencil on Fabriano Artistico paper which is perfect for that level of detail.


 It's now joined the nutmeg and star anise which are part of the same series. I have another image lined up of a black cardomom pod which I'm hoping to start by the weekend.


Again, I'll be posting pictures of the work in progress or, if you can't wait that long treat yourself to some original art for sale in my Etsy shop :)
