Run! Monsters in E1

Me + my pal Sophie went along to the launch event for a new exhibition called Monsters Inked at the Idea Generation Gallery on Chance Street, E1

I can recommend a little look-see if you fancy being transported back to your youth for half an hour or so. These artists (I'm guessing) are all fully grown but have managed to retain an amount of their childish imagination to create these brilliantly colourful, imaginatively named + oddly configured creatures.

It was interesting to see the different techniques used by the various different artists. The computer generated stuff is nice, but a bit too finished + cartoony for my liking. I tend to prefer my monsters hand-drawn + less perfect where you tend to see more interesting detail, tone + scary features..much more monster-like I would say.


And just when I was thinking 'arrgh I wanna draw a monster' paper + pencils appeared. Here are our attempts:

On the wall and everythink..
