Part 1 of Volume 3 of the Real Monsters is finally out!

I thank you for all your patience in waiting for new designs and I also appreciate all the suggestions for new monsters. ADHD was a tricky design to get right but I think I did it justice, in the education and stigma reducing aspects. I will work on the last half of this volume throughout the year.

Forgot to add a link to the digital files for the previous sets. This volume will be available digitally when the next designs are complete!

ADHD was a really tough design so It went through many interactions. The purple hummingbird-inspired sketch was an idea from my good friend @faboogu that really helped unlock the design. Also included is an alternative version of the shifted effect that I love, but makes my eyes bleed! It literally took 4 years to come up with the final design!

COMING SOON

I dont draw Anxiety much, but when I do, her design is reflective of her hold on me at the time. In late 2017 I was having a rough time, so she’s more monstrous but recently I’ve been kinder to myself when she’s around which is subconsciously reflected in the latest iteration.

New business card design for 2019! 

 -Also, maybe, perhaps the first in a series of Tarot designs?

Well, well, well, Volume 3 of the Real Monsters is halfway done! I have 3 sketches to develop and one monster to design completely from scratch and then It’ll be DONE! Exciting!
