Monster project
-
Just wanted to tell you about my annual Monster project. I think it's my second year but, I may have done it three times. It started with Inktober and a challenge from @Jake Parker to draw a monster. I posted them on here as I did them. Some are better than others but, in a way I am doing the Draw 100 things in spurtz

I will be starting up again in October. I have book page on facebook. It is NOT very professional but I would love for any of you to check it out , if you like. Marsha Ottum Owen Books.
I have decided not to be a professional working for money because I don't need money and it stresses me out. I hope I'm not being a giver upper. So ignore the bookstore link, etc. I've decided to share my art and books in other ways and I don't really knwo how to change the page around.
MONSTER PROJECT
- I get a description, from a kid, of a monster.
- I draw (ink and watercolor) the monster.
- I post the monster on facebook (on my page and their parents page usually).
I do it first come, first serve and promise to do ten, but reserve the right to do more if I want to.
This year I will be drawing them on postcards and sending them snail mail to the describer. I loved getting mail when I was a kid

So far the kids have loved their monsters which makes me happy. One of my friends had hers put on T shirts for her three sons

Anyway, you're officially invited. I'd ask you to join in but, I'm afraid your monsters will all be better than mine
Ha! Is that bad? )My facebook pages are stuck in portuguese (sp?) somehow so, I'll be working on getting it back to English. (It also translates into Norwegian Ha! Ha! What did I do?!!!!!)

What a wonderful idea! And sending them as a postcard is perfect! Everyone loves getting good mail. As for deciding to not work for money because it stresses you out--I totally understand! I feel the same and am fortunate to not need to earn money. So I can draw for other reasons. It's only giving up if you quit drawing...which you aren't.
