05:28 pm - More Krampus!
Last edition of the season! Iam doing preorders this time, the edition size will be determined by the demand:
missmonster.bigcartel.com/
A lot of people wanted them and missed out so i thought this would be a fair solution.
Preorders open until friday December 4th! After that they will be marked sold out and the file will be mailed out for printing. This design will be retired! The cards will be mailed out the following week.

Been off for a few days, busy doing nothing and eating very naughty food! I needed some time off, i felt major burnout approaching. Tried to get far too much done at once and ran myself ragged. Feeling a little better now. It's very strange, not having made any art since wednesday haha. It feels wrong to do that but also it's nice to just let myself sit and relax like a normal human being.
Things will pick back up monday. Hope everyone is doing well.

03:45 pm - Hoodies are back!
Iam printing the orders from the first wave today so iam open for more orders:
Available here:
missmonster.bigcartel.com/
Green is coming later on !
Also in toy news..apparently the werewolf toys WERE produced. I didn't think they'd go through since the orders were a bit low, but i guess since they had made the molds/prototype they went ahead and did it. They only made 80 of them so they are SUPER limited edition. They will be getting mailed out in about a month:

I have XXL's to mediums. I also have green long sleeved ones in the shop so click on that link :D
*i make guys shirts, people want girls shirts. I make girl shirts, people want guys shirts. It's just the law of convention stock...

"Uncle" Dapper (as i have come to call him) is ready to start looking for homes for his friends that will be arriving soon!
To adopt a Dapper, please go to this link! They are $20 plus shipping.
The monsters will be here around the middle of december. They will then be ushered off post-haste so they can get to their new homes in time for Christmas. Due to the USPS getting very bogged down during the holidays, this is not a guarantee. All Dappers will be mailed via priority ( domestic, within the U.S ) to make up for this. I do have international shipping for $7.
They are 9" tall, pretty decent size! Very huggable and soft. The first 50 people to adopt will get a surprise. This could be a sketch, this could be something cool from my shops, a shirt, a scarf...maybe even a painting? So get one soon!
Oh yes, i WILL be taking preorders at MFF this weekend. You can see the prototype up close :)

05:46 pm - A funny thing happened to me just now...
A little monster just arrived at my doorstep. He's wearing the most curious pinstriped suit and has very delicate manners. He is like a small, horned gentleman. I suppose I must keep him, there is a chill in the air and i can't bear the thought of sending him back out into the elements alone.
However, this little creature has invited a few hundred of his friends to stay. They are arriving mid-december. I simply do not have room for that many fuzzy gents though i cannot in good conscience turn them away. We are discussing finding homes for his friends upon their arrival and have agreed to try adoption.
So tomorrow i will be seeking homes for the impending army of little suited monsters. An adoption fee of $20 is a necessary evil as well as an extra transport cost.
Please come check in tomorrow. I will be posting pictures and instructions on how to obtain one of these dapper monsters for yourselves!

02:18 pm - Mini Cthulhu heads
More here: http://is.gd/4VHtI
Iam so happy with these guys! They are 14.5" long cut from wood panel. Despite how similar they look, each one IS handpainted with acrylic.
Iam saving these for MFF but will be making more if they all sell out. They will be priced at $60.

I'd like to thank people for the hoodie orders by the way! I haven't reached critical mass yet.

Since people got so excited for these...
Hoodies are available for now: missmonster.bigcartel.com/
I will take orders until i reach my max work load. Orders will then be closed and will re-open once i get enough done. This is to prevent me from getting bogged down.
Hoodies will take 2-3 weeks to produce. If you can't wait that long, *please* don't buy one.
Iam working on green.
That is the hoodie these are printed on. Since i can't get a decent picture of myself wearing one hopefully that helps. The hoodies are BLACK.

Possible new hoodie design! Not sure if i want to release them since the Dapper plush preorder is coming up soon. Hmmm...
This one will be at MFF (it is a men's large so it's far too big for me, looks all saggy)

Krampus postcards arrived today! They look cool, i love rounded edges :D
They are available to buy here:
missmonster.bigcartel.com/
Packs of 6 or 12 ! Limited to 200 for now. If they blow up and people buy the hell out of them, i may do another edition but with different coloring so the first edition is unique.
EDIT: Cards are sold out! Iam working on the second edition. Background will be a festive green and some colors on Krampus will be tweaked to stay harmonious. Should be out next week as another edition of 200.

This is a preview of my plush Uncle Dapper that is coming out soon! I need to get better photos since he does have cool looking claws (made from smooth leather- like material) that you can't see in this photo and his hair is too smoothed down for a proper monster (needs to be fluffed up!) This is just a shot the company sent me so i need to get the prototype in hand to get some awesome pictures for the preorder and make sure the real thing holds up IRL.
I'm hoping to start preorders in about a week or so! Iam also trying to think of a cool incentive for the first 100 buyers. A free signed original sketch of Dapper, i think. Stay tuned for info on that.
He will retail for $20 plus shipping.

Hey guys just an announcement!
If you have issues with your RIPT Doorknocker shirt, please email RIPT about it.Thanks for the heads up, people that have messaged/emailed me.
Iam not too thrilled with the prints but it's out of my hands at this point. I talked to RIPT and they asked me to refer complaints to them. Iam very sorry if you are not happy with the way they came out :/

01:42 pm - krampus postcardsm
Finished Krampus artwork. Please click it to see the full size!
It will be printed as 4" x 6" rounded edge postcards. They will be sold in packaged sets of 6 or 12. Each will be numbered and signed as this will be a limited edition of 200! Should be available in about a week.
I would also like to do shirts. Im thinking about some kind of text like "Der Krampus" or even better "Gruss vom krampus" ( Greeting from the Krampus, seen on many vintage Krampus postcards) so it doesn't just look like some weird random devil. Perhaps the text would promt people that don't know of Krampus to ask what it is? I'll shop the design around and see if anyone bites...

A strange bracer/cuff i made today. One of two! More info and photos here:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/missmonstermel/sets/72157616231971046/
More sketch commissions! Working on the rest tomorrow.
Hey and i WILL be at Midwest Furfest in two weeks in the Dealer's Room. I'll have all kind of goodies including wood cut outs, etched glass and Tentatiger toys since it's a local con and i can bring whatever i want. I will also have printed hoodies, shirts, scarves, leather work, patches etc etc and will probably be doing sketch commissions. Please come on by the table and say hello! :)
Also just a heads up. I finally lost my battle with not getting sick and came down with something yesterday after being mildly sick and then totally fine for the past two weeks or so. I will do my best to get things out on time but cut me a little slack since i feel pretty awful, haha. :P All i want to do is lie on the couch and cough, ugh.

Haha, someone tipped me off that the author Eric Nylund was wearing a shirt of mine in an interview for the new Halo Waypoint on XBox Live.
Went and checked it out and...yup, he's wearing Monster Battle from designbyhumans!

Much thanks to vicioussuspicious.deviantart.com/ for the tip off!
Pretty cool! :D
