As part of the current exhibit Monsters in the Bookshelfat the Thacher Gallery (located on the campus of USF in San Francisco) there has been a contest to create a poster of original artwork featuring a monster (or monsters) and a book. The idea was to simultaneously promote creativity and reading.
Above you can see my entry for the contest (the results will be announced October 30th...)
My little monsters love to read... How about yours?
Apparently, my little monsters love to read, but my littlest monster (AKA wee Bloom) also loves to eat little monsters. Today he ate most of the paint (and one of the spikes) off the head of the small orange monster... eek... Silly Little Mr. B. to have left the tiny orange monster on the floor...
Monsters are supposed to rough and tumble. comes with the job.
I have to admit that peg people, even among Waldorfians, have not charmed me at all. But yours do, every time. magic in the hands, my dear. Magic in the hands.
I know that word-verification makes it difficult to comment, and that, due to moderation, your comments seem to vanish into thin air once you've hit "submit," but your comments will appear after approval (really!) I read every comment and love hearing from you (truly!)
How wonderful! Oh, I hope you win - you should! Adorable :-)
ReplyDeleteThose are great!
ReplyDeleteMy oldest monster used to love to read. Now he stubbornly refuses to read of his own volition. I'm hoping it's temporary.
I can't wait till you have a wee book of all your clever creations! These are the cutest monsters I have ever seen!
ReplyDeleteLove the simplicity of your entry...and the cuteness of those monsters! Very charming. We love to read...and read and read and read.
