I didn't mean to leave you monster lovers out in the cold for so long. Although I know you're dying to see the finished piece so here it is.
And yes it's true...I couldn't stay away for too long. There are some great monster portraits coming up including whole families and musicians. Stay tuned!
After a mysterious exposure to radiation from a nearby solar event, Sebastion grew to ridiculous proportions. Now his size matched his personality and nothing, not even Philly) could stand in his way.

Greetings monster lovers!
So it seems that it has been WAY too long since I've posted here. I hope you're still out there aboard the iiiiiiinnnterrnet!
Tonight I'm taking a new approach that I've been working on for my facebook artist's page. I have a commissioned monsterized pet portrait under way. I'm posting the step-by-step on facebook and thought the 365 Monsters readers would enjoy seeing it too.
I hope you do!
With all the power of 365 of his closest friends and most horrid enemies, Pumpkin Stumps jumped high into the air with an explosive blast. A celebration like no other was about to begin.

The only way I could think to end a monster art project was to draw a new monster.
If you've seen every post since monster # 1 posted a year ago tonight or this is the first post you've ever set your monster-loving eyes on, I want to say thank you. Monsters have always been a part of my art and this project let me push them to the forefront for a while.
It's been fun, scary, confusing, difficult, and so much more along the way. In the end I achieved my original goal of keeping busy, exercising my creativity, and creating at least one new piece of artwork per day.
You've helped me to do that and also played a large part of the project and I couldn't have done it without you. I can't thank my readers/viewers enough (I love the pictures best of course).
This isn't the end. New monsters and posts will appear on here from time to time. I would very much like to publish this project as a book so look for that and please send word if you can help or have interest. It would be great to show the remaining collection as an exhibit as well.
In the Spring or Summer of 2010 I'll be starting my next blog project called "52 Farms". This new project will feature fewer pieces of artwork than 365 Monsters at one per week but the work will be more ambitious and larger. 52 different working farms within reasonable distance of my studio (mostly Montgomery & Bucks counties in PA) will be featured. Their info will be made available and a painting or drawing will be completed and posted.
I know this is a bit different than all of the monstery fun we had this year. I hope you'll come along for another ride.

Know your footwear.
Once these sneakers are on and the laces are tied, shoe monsters spring to life. They quickly knot the laces to keep themselves attached. When there's no longer any chance of escape, the shoe monsters begin the worst case scenario for the wearer. they go hunting for meat.
You're meat.
What size shoe are you?

Gamgam Rizzleshmidt is one of those inspirational creatures that humans rarely hear about. He delights in the downfall of societies, traversing alternate realities to annihilate interdimensional targets, dancing on the souls of unscrupulous food servers, and he also crafts his own delicious batches of homebrew in his garage.
Someday Gamgam would like to have his own pair of custom made lederhosen.

being unable to die has its ups and downs.
Sure, Teddy can't actually get hurt and he'll never be sick, but all of his get-up and go is all gone-out and went. When he was surprised in his craggy 'ol cave he just shrugged it off and waved at us once as he grumbled. It's just sad to see.
