Crammed into a doorway, between the night landscape outside and brightness within, an anxious assortment of strange beasties are wedged together. Some appear puzzled, others gleeful, most are simply curious. One bold orange creature leaps with abandon into the glowing space, joining several floating/flying books and strangely shaped objects. Their mysterious adventure continues...

Entranced
I love to read and every once in a while, I find a book that I cannot put down, no matter what is happening around me. For those of you who have ever been lucky enough to encounter this transcendent state of being, this drawing is for you! :-) Imagine curled up in your favorite comfy chair, with a hot cup of tea and plate of delicious cookies nearby. All of your "friends" surround you and you have found that peaceful space, entranced with the story before you.

On a muted dark green watercolor wash, a detailed pencil/graphite drawing of a young girl staring avidly at an open book. She is seated in a chair and surrounded by all kinds of creatures, including a turtle, rabbit, owl, alligator, snake, fish and bird. Next to her on a small table, a cup of steaming tea and a plate of cookies.

INNER MONSTERS
Inner Monsters don't necessarily look like "real" monsters. They are part of that constant chatter going on in the background of our own minds, shaping our view of the world. They can appear in a variety of forms, from human, animal, monster-like, even as plants! Most of us... ahem... keep our inner beasties tucked "safely" in the closet, hoping they won't decide to reveal themselves at inopportune times, causing all manner of embarrassing moments, like sudden extreme shyness, unexplained crying jags, overwhelming crankiness, or laughing out loud for no apparent reason, among others. Sound familiar?
The solution is (drum roll please...) to MEET your inner monsters, SEEK to understand them, EMBRACE them as yours, and then LEARN about yourself through them. Bring them out of your personal inner-verse and set them free!

Textured colors of spotted, mottled rust, gold and green. An ink drawing of a rabbit-like creature stares with distress and wonder outward. It has a small nose and mouth. Its clawed arms hang protectively in front of it. NOTE: This description created especially for my lovely blind friend, Georgiana. :-)

Gorgeous Monsters & Their Pets
Welcome to my new interview series. I am the official human spokesperson for the Guardian Monster Guild, editor of the "Monster Times & Review" and author of the glamorous tell-all book, "What Monsters Want". These are hard-won credentials that I have worked tirelessly to obtain. As an ordinary human being, entering the realm of Monsterdom requires a rigorous determination, and an ego that can survive all manner of taunts, threats and indignation. I have endured countless nips, pokes and licks from numerous monsters whose intent, it seems, was to provoke me into giving up. I have proved them wrong! NOTE: This latest set of interviews on monster pets is for human eyes only and includes interviews with a select group from the Gorgeous Monsters Society. (This is the name they give themselves.) Here we discuss their feelings of unabashed adoration for their beloved pets as well as their care and feeding.

Meet Lord Shrouder, of the Runbludic tribe & his Leaping Lollies: Ishney, Bothart, Rubels and Pamela.

Monsters in a Teacup
Humans aren't the only ones who enjoy a spot of tea now and again. Little monsters have been know to slip quietly into kitchens when no one is around and sneak a sip or two of freshly brewed sweetness. Alas, some of these tiny creatures may become so enamored with the tea, that they sip themselves silly and fall into a state of euphoria, causing all manner of behavior.

Set against a flower covered wallpaper, piled into a porcelain teacup, are 5 tiny monsters. Peeking from behind, one more peers above the tabletop.

A couple of the displays-- I didn't take these out of the #PhotoAlbums, so kinda crappy, but you get the idea..lol
#90s #decor #art #throwbackthursday

Rustic wooden bench/shelves with Mexican Day of the Dead Altar articles; draped in black cloth with numerous skulls and skeletons in various materials including wooden articulated skeletons. Also, some papier mache devil masks for carnival, glass jar religious candles etc.It is positioned against a dark violet wall and a skeleton crucifix hangs above.

One of the display windows- on a terracotta coloured floor against a golden wall, sand and rocks have been spread in an irregular patch with a couple of potted Agaves and some smaller succulents made to look as if they are growing there, along with a large bare branch with twisty twigs. In the front, several pieces of Mexican ceramics have been displayed included colourful bowls and a typical green jug with unglazed base.

1 Wow! a discussion about decor colours with @czarbucks @SunnJax @intrepidhero and others led me to think about my old shop (imports and later hairdressing) in #Edmonton, #Alberta #Canada in the mid #90s
Anyway, here are a few views of the shop, colour scheme based on my favourite Madras cotton shirt. Lots more in alt.
#decor #MastoArt #LiveInColour #throwback

Large space of an old commercial building from the early 1900s. It holds a store selling Mexican arts /crafts-hanging on walls, displayed on rustic wood benches made by my grandfather, a vintage wooden drop leaf table with paint stripped to whitish finish, with mis-matched wooden farm chairs painted white. There is also local art (my paintings, some willow furniture, a couple of standing candelabras etc)- later I added a small hairdressing area. Floor and ceiling are painted terracotta colour except for a section of old light hardwood near the entrance, The space is about 30 feet long 2/3 as wide? On each side is a raised platform around 1 ft /30cm high, painted like the rest of the floor. These were display areas in the original store. The back wall is dark violet, and rectangular pillars go from back to front, starting with a true red and getting lighter toward the front so the foremost one is pale pink. Apart from that first one, the columns have old barn boards strapped to them with ivy growing upwards.
We see the wall to the right as you enter, it begins as dark turquoise at the back, lightening toward the front to accentuate light coming from large display windows on each side out of sight. At the back this wall ends in a staircase to nowhere, same colour, with several of my colourful/dark paintings based on religious paintings by El Greco, Titian, etc.. At the rear left is an altar on a rustic bench/shelving unit with Mexican Day of the Dead and Carnival items.

Same space, but looking to the left. This long wall starts at the rear with a deep golden yellow, nearly orange, and lightens toward the front accentuating the light that comes from the large windows (out of view). The platform along this wall is again lined with wooden benches displaying Mexican crafts with Mexican shawls hung from the wall and an old rustic barn door leaning against the wall. Wooden screens display more textiles as well as denim jackets and cushions sewn by my mother, with paintings of mine: on one jacket of a person's face, mom's animal paintings on the cushions. This wall ends with what was the office of the original business, a small enclosed space with 3 angled walls, windows around the middle. This is painted the same true red of the rear pillars, and the walls are hung with Mexican ceramic crucifixes.

The Mysterious Monster March
Front cover of a children's picture book that I am working on.
---------------
As another day ends and darkness falls,
worries begin to grow. The monsters realize they
are now far away from their homes and entering
a world that no one has ever been before.

Anxious whispers and tearful sobs burst out.
"Beware! Beware! one monster pleads.
There is danger ahead!" But no one has stopped
for sleep this night. The leaders keep them
marching, marching, towards a distant light.
