Monster

The Friday before Halloween this year I ran the Scream Scram 5K at Washington Park here in Denver. This is a run that benefits the Boys and Girls Club and a run in which the participants are supposed to be in costume and a surprising amount of people were.  I was one of the exceptions as you can see below in the photo of me and Beaker (an amazing costume and the awe-inspiring assistant to Dr. Bunsen Honeydew).

Anyway, one of the draws of doing the run was the t-shirt.  This is special because typically t-shirts associated with athletic events are mediocre at best.  Not this one.  This one had a unique drawing of a strange being (and its cat) that was oddly alluring:

Turns out that a friend knew about the artist and shared a web site – The Daily Monster. In direct contradiction to the site’s title, the artist doesn’t actually post a daily monster (at least not that I can tell), but there are some pretty fantastic monsters featured:

This hits right at the center of my desire for whimsical art – love it.

Ok, this is a little explicit for me but I love the Muppets and it has good energy:




Next...who knows.
