100 days of monster


Verdict: If only inkblots were this cool when we were in therapy.
Stephan G Bucher is German native who moved to California and earned his degree from Art Center College of Design in 1996. While Bucher has been taking on diverse projects from CD packaging to book design for many years, he is most known recently for his hit Daily Monster.

Bucher begins with a simple blob of ink and a quick burst of air. From there, he freestyles a sharpie and coloured felt creation based on the blob's pattern. While this is certainly cool, what seals the deal is that every single drawing is meticulously filmed and posted online for your viewing pleasure. The cherry on the cake is the success Bucher has seen by allowing fans to write stories about each of the creations.

After the concept's popularity, Bucher has decided the time is right to release a book based on his creations. Entitled 100 days of Monster, the book includes 100 of Bucher's monsters, over 250 stories, and a DVD packed with the videos for all of them.
