The unusual. The unlikely. The unique.
After working 30+ years creating art for other folks in the fields of Illustration and Graphic Design, I finally got the opportunity to create for myself. The monsters were waiting -- ready to leap forth and escape the limited confines of my head and venture out into the unsuspecting world of people. Guardian Monsters, Baby Monsters, Midnight Monsters - you name it - they all came pouring out, happily splattering their likenesses across my drawing paper. My problem was NOT in finding enough to draw, but rather keeping "them" under control, allowing them to step politely into existence, a few at a time, instead of bursting forth and knocking me senseless in the process. It was not easy.

"Guardian Monsters" were created to assist children (and adults) with problems, boost confidence, promote compassion and just plain make them laugh. Each of the 26 Guardian Monsters has a set of Protective and Beneficial Powers which are unique. These powers range from “Grump Projection” (yes, that is a real power) to “Compassion Reaction.” The list is quite diverse.

Using monster art as my tool, I hope to create a love of reading, writing & creative thinking. Using humor, I hope to generate ideas for out-of-the-box problem solving as well as encourage compassion, understanding & appreciation, especially when relating to others who don't look, sound or act exactly like we do.

Thanks so much for visiting my shop and meeting me and my monsters! Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions. If I don't have an answer, I'll be happy to make something up! :-)
