S. britt makes many mistakes and is a reluctant learner. He still continues to pull hair, throw food and bite others. He fails at nearly everything he attempts, except for his piercing hourly outbursts. When not wetting himself, he eats paste. When he's out of paste, he wets himself. I would suggest holding him back another year, but since he's the only boy in his class that shaves, I can see that strategy hasn't worked. Might I suggest he become an artist?

Hoping you'll understand,
Mrs. Nellie Maynard

Stefan G. Bucher is a good egg. Starting in November of 2006 he filmed himself blowing ink on a piece of paper, making each random blot into a monster. He linked the result to his blog and, for the next 99 days, posted a new monster every night. He found himself the seed crystal for a community of monster obsessives that used his drawings as an excuse to tell stories. His book about the experience—100 Days of Monsters—is in stores now. All the while the monsters continue to proliferate at www.dailymonster.com.

"Jon Burgerman's images seem to have each been created in one burst of creative energy, his pen never leaving the paper once it has made contact until the image is complete. The result is that his drawings have a fresh immediacy that make them as fun as they are visually impactful. He refers to his work rather modestly as 'doodles' but really what he's doing is creating his own distinctive artwork at every available opportunity - whether it's on a pad of Post-Its just for fun, or on a larger scale in a variety of mediums for an enviable list of clients ranging from The Science Museum to Sky, Pepsi, Sony and KidRobot."
-- Gavin Lucas, Creative Review

Justin Hillgrove grew up in Snohomish, Washington and has been enjoying artistic expression since he was old enough to color on the walls. Mostly self-taught, he has since enjoyed many years of freelance illustration and design, working on everything from collectible card games to bobble heads. Justin's “Imps and Monsters” series is his creative outlet. The creatures depicted and the satyrical situations they find themselves in are reflections of moments which Justin finds amusing, many of which are inspired by his three children.

Brian Taylor's ongoing art project / brand "Candykiller" is a
playground for his surreal characters and creations. Much of the Candykiller work is inspired by the pop culture of his childhood, and his love of the styles of bygone eras. Specific inspirations include trading cards, cheap novelties, Japanese pop culture, vintage cartoons, plastic toys, underground comix and sideshow art. His characters are often a mishmash of several retro periods with a contemporary (and sometimes slightly sinister) twist. Candykiller products include books, toys, and art prints, as well as original paintings.
