Illustrator Creates Book Based on Monster Drawing Videos

Posted on May 13, 2008

Designer and illustrator Stefan G. Bucher recently embarked on a clever monster drawing experiment. Every day for 100 days in a row Bucher created a monster from a random blob of ink. Bucher also filmed each monster drawing and posted the videos online. Boing Boing reports that Bucher has now turned his monster drawing project into a book called 100 Daily Monsters.

Stefan Bucher's new book 100 Daily Monsters is the end-product of a 100-day-long experiment in which Bucher posted a daily video of himself squirting a random blob of ink onto paper and then coloring in and around it to make it into a hairy, scary (and animated) monster. The videos are utterly charming and not a little hypnotic, and Bucher's blog has tons of monsters and their stories from fans all over the world.
