The Monstrous Project is one of the loveliest things I had the privilege of participating in.

A number of schools from all over the country participate. Kids aged 7-10 draw a monster of their own design and write a backstory for it.

Then illustrators receive the drawings and stories, and give them a professional makeover. I had the pleasure of working on the creation of two girls with a very special sense of humor.

The response from the kids has been amazing so far, and it's a lot of fun to work on.

Farty

Farty lives in the Farty Mountains. She's translucent and has a crown because everybody born in the Farty Mountains has a crown.

Her farts create little green jelly monsters.

She likes eating snails and worm-burgers, loves hiking the Farty Mountains and has a little brother.

Honestly - I had a blast with this one. It's fun to let loose.

(See what I did there?)
