Manitou Art Center was having a Manitou Monster Project (or MMP) which is a fund raiser for Manitou Springs Elementary School. The students drew dozens of monsters, we received a photo of one monster, and we could make our own rendition. The students could also send additional information about their monster (shown below). It was a good project for me and it was nice to have a subject provided. I don't know how they'll raise the funds (how much they'll charge) but the real payment for me would be knowing if the original creator liked my version.
The original monster - the artist remains a mystery.
The additional info provided by the artist.
A gif of the progress. I had some particle board lying around and I thought it's be a good surface and certainly sturdy. I wanted to emphasize the slide and the marshmallows so originally the slide went all the way into the clouds (or started there), but the top distracted from the Monster's head. Also, I realized marshmallows are a bit tricky to paint. I just hope the first artist likes it.
Something I've been doing lately - by accident. I like how the pieces
look on an empty wall. I think it's a nice way to see pieces "at work".
Update (20230910): This is the flyer for the showing...
