No Monsters Were Harmed In The Making Of This Rug

ADVERTISEMENT

My mother loved monster movies. As a family we spent countless hours watching old and new horror, fantasy, and science fiction films. I grew up watching cartoons, reading comics, and often imagined myself as a muppet. The fantastic and absurd were encouraged in my house. Laughter was infectious. I didn’t understand it then, but my parents and the cosmos were setting me up to spend my life doing what I love – making monsters.

I am currently trying to start a business by manufacturing this rug. I have a kickstarter running with a few days to go. I know I can do it. Please help if you can. I am offering original drawings, monsters, and prints with a small donation. The nicest thing you can do is check out the link and tell everyone you know to take a look. I will be forever in you debt if you can help me achieve my dream of bringing the Monster Skin Rug to life!

    The monster skin rug didn’t just happen. I spent my childhood drawing and making

    The monster skin rug started with a sketch, an education of design & a passion for monsters

    I started to sew at 12. I have spent the past 10 years filling galleries & stores with monster drawings, installations and sculptures

    I have failed or been rejected more than I have succeeded, but I am persistent. And that persistence generates something awesome now and then

    I like to work with my hands. I cut. I sew. I make. I remake. I remake. And then finally I get it right
