Okay, so he speaks French and we can not understand. But we know he cares about recycling and we really dig how he looks so we just had to put him in our bowl.
Maybe we are bringing the bowl a little late to the party, but we finally stumbled over Moshi Monsters. We’ve always been more fond of odd beasts over here than stay those monochromatic ground-bound birds (aka Penguins). That said this playground does remind us of the Penguin’s club, only still different. And it does get our “hey, I wish I thought of that” star of the day.
Who said Halloween is just for October? Why not have a little freaky all year round? Or at least in March? In our bowl we revisit this Brickshelf Gallery on a regular basis.
Groovy beasts in the East Village! Yeah, so what else is new, eh? Still this Travis Louie cat is splendid with the pencil. You can see his monsters here, or go see them live at the Fuse Gallery on 93 Second Avenue.
Well, okay, a real dead one. This is a 96 tentacled octopus. Each of it’s tentacles branches out 8 times. It’s as if each of your fingers had five fingers on them. Or something like that. Make a note, you can visit this one the next time you are in Shima, Japan at the Shima Marineland Aquarium.
You know those drawings you do that the grownups say “that’s so silly!” about? What is it that they are saying then? Do they want you to keep on doing those drawings forever — or do they want you to stop drawing those creatures right then and now? Did you ever notice how kids’ drawings are soooo much fun, but when the drawers get older they forget about monsters and monkeys and start drawing bowls of fruit? It happens. The why is one of those many unanswerable questions.
Dave Pressler never caught that dread fruit bowl disease. He not only draws really great and silly monsters, but he makes sculptures and all kinds of stuff. Check out his website. It’s a BOWL of fun.
Sure every city has a good zoo — well, many of them — but how come there isn’t a single Monster Zoo to be found. What’s wrong with this planet?
This site could not have been built without the help and insight of Michael Morgenstern. My thanks go out to him.
