October is here! I have a fun little project planned… Throughout the month, I am going to be painting one monster per day. I will be painting each one live every weekday on my Ustream show. Come by and chat and see the fun Halloween-y artwork.
I will add the images to this post as I complete them. Visit the site throughout the month or watch the live broadcast to see the artwork as it is being created.
Each piece will be painted with gouache on bristol, measuring 2.5″x3.5″ in size.
Ustream Fun!
As part of the festivities, I will be giving away a monster doodle every Friday. All you have to do to qualify is show up and login to the chat room with your Ustream account. One user will be chosen randomly at the end of the show. See the Dani Draws LIVE page for rules and info about Ustream giveaways and deals.
Buy Monster Art
The finished monster art will be made available for sale for $20 each. Please visit the store if you would like to purchase one. I will also make the links available here as I post each image.
Because this is a personal project I am doing for my own fun and goals, I will be painting subjects of my own choosing. However, I’ve decided to open up a week’s worth of painting for requests if any of you would enjoy a custom commission.
UPDATE: All custom monster commission slots have been taken! Thank you to those who ordered.
Commissioned pieces will be painted on the Ustream show during the week of October 19-23. Episodes will be recorded in case you miss the live show.
Here’s the artwork:
wow, what a cool idea! These are fantastic. The Wild Thing, in particular, is all kinds of charming. I’ll be back to see more monsters, for sure!!
Cool idea Dani!
Looking forward to seeing who all shows up!
You going to do Dracula,Wolfman and Creature from the Black Lagoon to round out all the Universal Monsters?
Great idea Dani. It’s funny I’ve seen you name come up on 5 or 6 different blogs/websites this week. It seems like you are everywhere.
Hey Dani! I just found your site this morning and gosh – I’m so impressed and inspired. I’m currently on a Children’s Book Illustration course in the UK, so finding this site was just magic. :3 Your work is unique and the way you use colour and texture is absolutely gorgeous. Do you have any full books out? I’d sure love to read them.
Keep up the excellent work! I’ll be following your site from now on. ;D
Great collection, as always excellent work.
Some of the picture links are broken :(
Praveen – The links went to the store pages, which are no longer there (because these are no longer for sale). I’ve fixed it so they are no longer linked. Thanks.
