Daily Monsters is an Ipad app from Stefan Butcher. He’s an artist that starts out each day by blowing a pool of ink into a blot pattern, then making it into a monster.

With the ipad app, you can use the provided parts to add to your digital ink blots. It is a total blast, and a great way to warm up the creative muscles. I’ve been having a lot of fun with it, so you’ll see a lot more of them.

I was having a conversation with a colleague on line about our businesses and it felt like we were talking about wrestling with a serpent. This is what I was sketching as we talked.

I’m continuing to explore the kinds of effects you can get by just letting the brushes do what they want to do. This started with the circle brush that created a bubbly watery feel. It’s done with Brushes app on iPad.

I have loved crosshatching since I was a kid. There is something very relaxing and mediative to me, so I was really excited to see the Brushes app on ipad has lovely brushes that let me do it digitally.

I was thinking about organizing the parts of my life and business in a way that was OK for me. I’m not a grid girl, filling in structured boxes doesn’t work for me. But I do like to keep things structured in alternative ways. So this felt right. If I can create nodes with the big important chunks, and allow the smaller part to live in the spaces between.
