Daily Monster

Occasionally, I'll come across something that so inspires me I have to try it myself. Stefan G. Bucher's Daily Monster site actually had me digging out my drawing tools that have been languishing in a tackle box for many years. Stefan creates a monster a day starting with a random ink blot and records the process using time-lapse video. I'm just as impressed with his hand-drawn title cards (scribed upside down, no less!) as I am with his monsters.

I sat down with my 10-year old daughter last Saturday and we tried our hands at creating our own monsters. It didn't take long to realize that it's harder than it looks. Never the less, it was fun to create something that didn't involve a mouse or keyboard.
