The art swap is on!
A little while back I met a fellow monster artist on etsy. She makes excellent utilitarian ceramic monster items for your home, studio, or lair. Check out her work: www.skeletaldropkick.etsy.com
She made me a fantastic zombie brush holder for my studio. I created a monster painting themed to fit in with some of her creations called "Ochibos". The new monster is on his way to her and the brush holder will be here soon (but not soon enough:) While we wait very impatiently, here is a pic of this new monster and his story:
Stompchompibos are tiny critters that came about as warm weather tadpoles evolved and moved onto land. They reside near creeks and streams to stay supple. When litter is dropped on the ground, Stompchompobos spring into action. They soar through the air with tiny tentacle nub-arms flapping all the way. Tough feet smash the offending trash into tiny little chompable bits to be eaten and never seen again.
"Stompchompibo" is a 10" x 8" oil painting on canvas board.
Corey the owlbear crunched and slammed his way through the deep dark silent forest. As he crashed into a moondrenched clearing he came to a stop. Hidden there from public view was a glistening pond with one silent resident. When he saw Alex everything stopped for him. Her speckled tentacles floated through the dark pool and she looked up at him with a look he'd never forget and Corey began to sing.

Why hasn't someone fed themselves to Walter? he hasn't eaten anybody in hours and he's getting madder by the minute. We're going to have to start feeding him some friends or making giant gingerbread men top trick him and buy ourselves some time to figure things out. This is definitely going to take some figuring out.

Oh Eugene. So sad looking...all hunched over like that with his hand on his sweaty head. He's so sad because nobody remembers to bring him crab cakes anymore.

Slamjammer Squidhands careens around showing off his top notch skills. He excels at slamming things, jamming things, and doing it with tentacled fists of fury. Legend has it that only the sword of a monkey can harm him.

The crack of the Onculator rang clear through the still night.
Flesh melted and receded off into soft silent waves of sound. Another reign of terror stopped short in it's prime.

Sure you know what that is.
It's a Slack-Jawed Gawker.

If it's not pinching, it's peeking. And neither of these are particularly good traits.

Squidboy is a stubborn little man...thing.

Slimy slithery pond creatures are hiding in a shallow body of water near you. They're tucked in the mud at the bottom poking out an tentacled eyeball and then disappearing with a swoosh.

Considering that the patchy yellow cyclops heads sit atop an enormous slug body, they get along okay. They might get mad enough to attack each other or a stranger but generally lack the energy...there's no pep in their sluggish step.

Many vacationers this year were unaware of recent sightings of a giant leaping octopus seen on the coasts of Australia, Hawaii, and Long Beach Island. Thanks in part to a multitude of warnings from rogue salty-dog boat captains, inland trips are skyrocketing.

Aaaaahhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!
The puppeteer strikes again!
This unwitting victim could just as easily be you or me.

Sucker-footed and beak-faced creatures stir in the deep waters of ocean realms. Seen here floating as if weightless, this monster can propel through the water at alarming speeds. It does this by thrusting water from its tentacles and impaling anything in the way with a sharp hard beak.
