Me with Mapes and other monsters

Some of the monsters born on this blog made it into a book I made called “Monster Haiku”! There are 26 full-color spreads featuring Will Rutherford’s sweet haiku poetry.

We pre-sold the books from Feb 1 – Mar 3, and had an art show featuring the books as well as cards, posters, and original art on Friday, April 13.

100% of the profits from this project benefit March of Dimes. It looks like we’ll be able to donate more than $2,500, which is AWESOME. Yay for babies (and monsters).

It’s been fun!

Rudy’s talents made him a real catch in Chameleon City. He was quite the lady’s lizard.

Or rather, he was. Regretfully, he was eaten by a bigger dumber chameleon one day after lunch.

Life lesson: Being the best can be rough(age).

Remember this guy, Uncle Harold?

Ah, ah, ah,
What’s that? Biggity biggity bop

We adopted a sweet, one-eyed, seven-year-old one of these. Our first pet, aw.

Henry’s dancing was never appreciated in his own time.
