Monsters have babies too.
Baby monsters are even harder to find than the elusive "baby" pigeon. Very few folks can say that they've seen them, let alone created their portraits. I have been lucky. As you might imagine, monster parents can be a bit protective. Mothers in particular. They consider us (humans) more than a bit strange and potentially dangerous. It took most of my free time, lots of monster "treats" and carefully followed Monster Etiquette to befriend just a few of them. Even then, I felt a bit nervous and on edge as I made sketches of their most beloved offspring. It is always a good idea to remind oneself that monsters are ultimately unpredictable creatures, and should be given proper respect at all times.

One teeny, solitary baby stands precariously on Moms scaly leg.

Against a brilliant blue sky, with just a hint of mountains in the distance, a teeny baby monster trembles with uncertainty on its mothers scaly leg, grasping her long sharp claw for balance. It nervously stares (at me) with large bulging eyes, while the other hand is clamped firmly in its mouth. Bright scales of chartreuse, vivid orange and crimson red cover the body of this wee creature, accompanied by slender candy-cane-like curved horns atop its bald green head. I find it endearingly adorable. NOTE: This description created especially for my lovely blind friend, Georgiana.

Peeking out from inside a bright orange circle, four monsters of varying descriptions, glare out at the viewer. Their intention is to intimidate and they take their job very seriously! NOTE: Don't worry though -- their expressions are worse than their bite -- they are actually nice guys. :-)

The Girl and the Bear
In the quiet forest, walks a gentle bear. Upon his sunny back a young girl sleeps.

Early in the morning, at the edge of a forest of brown and purple, greens and gold, a smiling bear pads quietly across the grass. Caught in a sunbeam, a young girl in a flowered yellow dress is sleeping upon his back, her arms folded under her head. Plants, like ferns and budding flowers, line each side of the glade.

Entranced
I love to read and every once in a while, I find a book that I cannot put down, no matter what is happening around me. For those of you who have ever been lucky enough to encounter this transcendent state of being, this drawing is for you! :-) Imagine curled up in your favorite comfy chair, with a hot cup of tea and plate of delicious cookies nearby. All of your "friends" surround you and you have found that peaceful space, entranced with the story before you.

On a muted dark green watercolor wash, a detailed pencil/graphite drawing of a young girl staring avidly at an open book. She is seated in a chair and surrounded by all kinds of creatures, including a turtle, rabbit, owl, alligator, snake, fish and bird. Next to her on a small table, a cup of steaming tea and a plate of cookies.

The Peaceful Garden
A cat meditates on the nature of life. A curious owl wishes that he would talk and explain its enigmatic smile.

The Peaceful Garden With eyes closed in peaceful meditation, a white cat considers the nature of life. Surrounded by a flowering tree and small hillocks of varying shades of deep umber, bright orange flowers spark in the quiet space like fire. A curious owl watches nearby and wishes that he would ask his companion about its enigmatic smile. NOTE: This description created especially for my lovely blind friend, Georgiana. :-)

Gorgeous Monsters & Their Pets
Welcome to my new interview series. I am the official human spokesperson for the Guardian Monster Guild, editor of the "Monster Times & Review" and author of the glamorous tell-all book, "What Monsters Want". These are hard-won credentials that I have worked tirelessly to obtain. As an ordinary human being, entering the realm of Monsterdom requires a rigorous determination, and an ego that can survive all manner of taunts, threats and indignation. I have endured countless nips, pokes and licks from numerous monsters whose intent, it seems, was to provoke me into giving up. I have proved them wrong! NOTE: This latest set of interviews on monster pets is for human eyes only and includes interviews with a select group from the Gorgeous Monsters Society. (This is the name they give themselves.) Here we discuss their feelings of unabashed adoration for their beloved pets as well as their care and feeding.

Meet Mrs. Nitig of the Altmorpha tribe & her pet, Beethia, a Blue Piconia.
Each (limited edition) purchase of the NFT Artwork includes Unlockable Content:
- A high resolution image for personal use.
- A PDF of the full humorous interview with the Individual Monster and its Pet(s)

In a stark brownish room, in front of a wallpaper decorated with symbols, sits a rather unusual, disgruntled pinecone-shaped creature on a Chenille upholstered bench. Grasped in one of its multiple claws, a broken piece of blue yarn. This explains the mildly distressed expression on its face, with is barely hidden within the cone. Underneath the chair, the full skein safely resides, away from its occupants ire. You cannot hear it, but it is growling without humor. I highly recommend staying far away, for the time being. :-)

Go Deep to Find Your Bliss.
Life can often feel chaotic. Unbalanced. Stressful.
Try and see that it is just on the surface.
Stop frantically treading water just to stay afloat amidst the craziness.
Instead, choose to go deep.
Deep down, where the restless tides abate.
Deep within, where inner calm resides.
Where bliss can be found.

On a watercolor background of blue, two thirds of which is water with pale vertical stripes and the top one third a highly textured sky with yellow sun. Frantically treading water at the surface, an orange sullen creature with yellow horns peeks above. At the very bottom of the picture, deep within the water and tied with a string, a pinkish balloon gently floats. Inside it is a red heart.
