Become a monster. Let me transform you… or your kid, partner, friend, pet, favorite childhood toy (your friend’s pet goldfish?). You send me photos, I interview you to learn your story, and create a block print monster accompanied by a short biography for the book. This is about discovering your inner monster, sharing your story, and immortalizing yourself in an original piece of art. You receive the monster combo as well: signed hardcover monster book & your limited edition monster print, framed. Shuba-oooh!
