THE DAILY MONSTER

The EXO LABS MONSTER

 

And this one I simply forgot to post here on the blog! Yeesh! I've been keeping the computer off as much as possible, and this is what happens. My friends at Exo Labs asked me to draw this little guy to promote their Kickstarter camapign. They want to put 40 of their cool microscope-to-iPad gizmos into schools. You can get a signed limited edition print of this Monster if you contribute $200. If you contribute $500 or more, you get the same Monster printed on glass at about 1.5 milimeters high as a calibration slide for your microscope. Is that the World's smallest Daily Monster? Yes, it is! Because 344 LOVES YOU

DAILY MONSTER 211 for a good cause

 

Been saving this little guy for a good cause, and helping my friend Mary Anne raise money for her cancer treatment seems like a very good cause, indeed. You can bid on the original drawing of this Monster at tinyurl.com/HelpMaryAnne2 and know that 344 LOVES YOU

Happy New Year from the Daily Monsters!

 

THE LYNDA.COM DOCUMENTARY

Good morning. So, like... you know that thing, when a team of amazing, talented people spends a year making a gorgeous hour-long documentary about you, and then they put it online? Well... that just totally happened to me:

The genius Lynda.com crew, headed by director Scott Erickson and producer David Niles White, followed me to press checks, to my gallery client, to my old college, to the Echo Park Time Travel Mart, to the release party for You Deserve A Medal, and even joined me on my nightly 2am walk to the grocery store. And then they turned around and made an incredible documentary. (This is the same crew that made the beautiful documentary about Doyald, so you know it's excellent stuff.) You can watch the whole thing here.

You know those annoying people who get awards and then say how they're all humbled? Well... I'm truly humbled. What a thing! Thank you so much to everybody at Lynda.com -- Lynda Weinman, Bruce Heavin, Sharon Ludtke, Scott, David, Mia, Loren, Fatima, Fiona, Deb, Andrew, Lucas... no, no, don't start the music yet... Tracy, Tony, Tanya, Michael, Ben and Billy. No question at all that 344 LOVES YOU

DAILY MONSTER 210

Good morning. Thank you for visiting. Hey, how would you feel about a brand new Daily Monster? Yeah? Well, it just so happens that I have one cued up for you. Just to show you once again that 344 LOVES YOU

A LAST MINUTE NEW YEAR'S MONSTER

Good morning! Not that my bloggish absenteeism allows room for anything but penitence, but... I did make a New Year's Monster for you. And a truthful one at that. I hope you'll enjoy it!It's my first HD Monster. I made it in full 1080p, but only managed to get it compressed to 720p. Check it out full-screen by clicking on the button with the four arrows in the bottom right corner. It's pretty spiffy, if I do say so myself.

Much more to come in 2011! (Such a backlog of unposted goodies... sigh!) For now, I hope you'll have an amazing New Years' Eve, and that the coming year will bring you endless inspiration, god health, and the company of like minds! If I haven't made it clear so far: 344 LOVES YOU

THE TAX MONSTER TRILOGY (a shameless rerun)

Good morning. On the occasion of Tax Day Eve, allow me to once again present the TAX MONSTER TRILOGY! Enjoy! As much as you can, please put the EZ into your 1040 day, and know that 344 LOVES YOU
