Monstroctopus order! I also put up a listing for a remade version of it on my shop.


Kittysaurus for a trade with marymaryhandmade! It stands at abboout 7 inches tall, 11 inches long.


 Better picture of Superboy & Robin!  Also added the cape! Now off to their new home. :)



Work in progress! Almost done plush version of my friends creature, Bobo.  Just gotta attach the limbs & add the doll joints. :D



SNEAK PEEK at the plush I'm working on for The Last Unicorn Art show coming up in April!  I'm really excited about them!  I think I may make the butterfly a whole separate plush instead of it being part of the unicorn as well.


Also designed this for a tshirt I'm working on with my friend Jake to be put out soon!  Updates with colors later!


That's it for now!  Next week I'll have more finished work to show (I hope!)

Monster & Music Monday!

I seem to remember to update only on the days I have scheduled to post things.  I think I'll add Friday onto my weekly posts, but think of something cool to post about!  What would you be interested in? :)

This Monday I decided to search through Etsy to find some awesome monster accessories. :D  So you can have your monster, and use it too.


I couldn't help but post about this!  This is so me!  Hello Deer Zipper Pouch by kukubee  I looove that print!  If you like pandas, deer or zombies you should probably check out her shop right now. :D



This is definitely something I haven't seen before!  Dinosaur transmission cover by talkproof.  Clever!!


Monster finger puppets!!  That's an accessory, right? Well it is to me!  I have three of these little guys myself!  From Happycloud. :)



Neon green Frankenstein bag!  I have this as well & I have to feature it because I love it.  You can get the same print on a shirt as well. :)  From theboldbanana!




Monster PurseRex by squirrelmomma! I love this because it's so simple but so professional and clean looking.  Plus I haven't seen someone use one of those closures on a creature purse before, and I love it!



& Last is this fantastic Elk hat I found on thefunkyskunk's shop!  I love it so much, and this could inspire so many other awesome antlered hats!



And... an 8 track mix!

New Work on Wednesday

This week had a lot of monstroctopuses, and some new things I haven't done before or in a looong time!  Really excited to show some of this stuff!  Above is a remade version of one of my older monstroctopuses, Squimby.  The little can of MONSTER JUICE is velcroed to his tentacle!


A better picture of the Keeby monster I posted last week!  So so glad the snow is finally melted so I can take outdoorsy pictures. :)


A totally custom medium monstroctopus! They chose the colors. :)


Made three monster pouches!  The one on the left was a custom order, but I made the other two for my shop!  I lined the black ones with fleece, and the white one with a sweet cotton printttt!



Birthday present for my love, David!  Based off of the goblin monster he made for his sketchbook iPhone app, you can see his original illustration here: http://davidrapozaart.deviantart.com/art/Iphone-App-released-155109890
I stuffed his head & belly so he stuck out from the fabric like he's some sort of plush wall art!  He was really fun to make, I'm happy with it & Dave loved it!

Progress picture!


And... I painted!!  I haven't painted anything in a lonnng time, and anything this big well, ever I don't think haha.  12 x 12 inch custom acrylic painting!  They wanted a yeti & a narwhal hanging out, and this is what I did!  Click the photo to see it better. :)


& I will end this again with a happy photo from this weekend...

<3!



Monster & Music Monday!

Okay so it's not TECHNICALLY Monday anymore, but gimme a break I was painting all day. D:

Here's some monstery art from my Deviantart favorites.


Octo Fett by Jasinki.  He has a whole series of these, they're all awesome.  I want one. D:


Sweet Tooth by Jefita.  Love the shading!



This is your last BBQ by Kontrastt.  This would make a fantastic shirt, as would all of his other designs.  CHECK THEM OUT.


Jackalope Sculpt by MissMonster.  I don't know what to say about this because it's so ridiculously cool.  I gasped outloud when I saw it.  I god damn love it!


Transmet Cat by Icarus126.  Just seriously well done and you can never go wrong with a siamese cat. :D



& last but not least, BLOOD & BEERS by my boyfriend, Dave Rapoza.  This is the cover art to his sketchbook iphone app that got released!  I used it as my inspiration for something I made for him for his birthday that I'll post up later. :D


No time to make a 8 track tonight but I'll leave you with this music video!  I love the music video, and the song is growing on me. :D
