Original artwork description:

"Beautiful Monsters" - oil on paper, 16 x 19.5. This item is sold unmounted and unframed.

“If you’re not a beautiful monster, then you’re a villager,” he said”
― Stephen Graham Jones, Mongrels

I have a monster inside. Probably you do, too. It is the thing that makes us wild - lets us take risks, helps us imagine bigger and better and, sometimes, badder. There is a primal beauty to that monster, once you look her square in the eye and remove the veil of shadow and shame.

Not sure about your monster, but I like to think mine is werewolf-ish. Capable of appearing under the right conditions, but not always fighting for control of the steering wheel. She has saved me a time or two. I like knowing she's in there.

​This piece is sold unframed. It will be shipped in a tube, carefully packaged in mostly repurposed shipping materials. Customs fees and duties are the responsibility of the recipient.
