THE DAILY MONSTER: OPEN SOURCE MONSTERS. Good evening. How are you? I hope the holiday madness is beginning to settle into more of a holiday coziness. If you're a giver of gifts, I hope they're all wrapped and/or mailed, and that you can finally take a breath. So it is with me over here at Monster Headquarters.
I'm skipping the festivities myself, but those who are getting gifts from me are taken care of. Over the past two months I've been shamefully remiss in keeping up with the Open Source Monsters. I also have a new Open Source Ink Blot for you. I can't wait to see what you come up with! Download OPEN SOURCE INK BLOT 22, print it out, and have at it in any way you like: Draw, paint, origami, film, sculpt, write an orchestral score for it. Here are some drawings that should give you plenty of inspiration: Here are my own versions of Open Source Blots 7, 17, 19, 20, and 21.
Lastly, art student Chris Comper asked me if he could make a few of his own monsters for a school assignment. HAPPY HOLIDAYS everybody! Da Vinci Puzzles : Doing DaVinci. Switch Zoo Make New Animals.
