AEDM 2009 day 24: seaweed monster
I thought this one looked like a blob of seaweed. Or maybe coral. Is it Sesame Street’s fault that all my monsters have googly eyes?

AEDM 2009 day 23: last pages!
See this? It’s the last blank 2-page spread in my whole monster notebook. I’m almost done! There are many pages that are only kind of half-done, but still it will be a relief to have at least something on each and every page. Keeping in mind that this is only a sketchbook, not every page … Read more
AEDM 2009 day 22: that other project
This is what I was making the other day when I couldn’t tell you what I was making: a life-sized man drawing for a bachelorette party game. Kind of a variation of ‘pin the tail on the donkey’.
AEDM 2009 day 21: sparkly plant monster
If you can’t use magic markers and glitter in a monster sketchbook, when can you use them? I’m so happy there are only a couple blank pages left, plus the cover. Can’t wait to finish with the monsters!
AEDM 2009 day 20: starry-eyed monster
In the background there’s sort of a monster hiding in a sock drawer for Leah. 🙂 I spent most of today working on a bigger project, but I can’t show it to you (yet). It’s a surprise.
AEDM 2009 day 19: pencil monsters
I had so little time for art today. For these pages I just grabbed a pencil and doodled in my monster sketchbook. The pencil itself was kind of interesting: a standard American number-2 dark blue pencil with “1990 FBLA DISTRICT II SKILLS’ CONFERENCE” stamped in gold on it. I wondered where it came from, and … Read more
AEDM 2009 day 18: London goauche
Last seen here, this little postcard-sized goauche painting of London is done. I am still getting the hang of gouache. My tendency is to use it very watered down so that it behaves almost like watercolor, but that seems silly given that I’m not particularly good with watercolors. I want to keep playing to see … Read more
AEDM 2009 day 17: there is a monster lurking in the darkness
Luckily I have some good suggestions for future monsters from the comments of yesterday’s post. And then there was my trainer at bootcamp today… Hopefully I’ll be done with this notebook by the end of the month.
AEDM 2009 day 16: monsters dressed up like ghosts
Eh, you try filling a whole sketchbook with monsters. Not easy.
The view from my studio window
Yesterday’s monster was inspired by the Art House Coop’s Weekly Project. This week the project was to take a photo out your favorite window. This is mine; you can see the other submissions (and sign up to participate in future Weekly Projects yourself) here.
