Monsters have babies too.
Baby monsters are even harder to find than the elusive "baby" pigeon. Very few folks can say that they've seen them, let alone created their portraits. I have been lucky. As you might imagine, monster parents can be a bit protective. Mothers in particular. They consider us (humans) more than a bit strange and potentially dangerous. It took most of my free time, lots of monster "treats" and carefully followed Monster Etiquette to befriend just a few of them. Even then, I felt a bit nervous and on edge as I made sketches of their most beloved offspring. It is always a good idea to remind oneself that monsters are ultimately unpredictable creatures, and should be given proper respect at all times.

One teeny, solitary baby stands precariously on Moms scaly leg.

Against a brilliant blue sky, with just a hint of mountains in the distance, a teeny baby monster trembles with uncertainty on its mothers scaly leg, grasping her long sharp claw for balance. It nervously stares (at me) with large bulging eyes, while the other hand is clamped firmly in its mouth. Bright scales of chartreuse, vivid orange and crimson red cover the body of this wee creature, accompanied by slender candy-cane-like curved horns atop its bald green head. I find it endearingly adorable. NOTE: This description created especially for my lovely blind friend, Georgiana.

Dani Laura (they/she/he)

Artworks based on dividing a rectangle/square into two rectangles, by splitting the larger side in a fixed proportion, and iterating recursively. Colors are computed from the shapes of the parent rectangles. (Procedure similar to
mathstodon.xyz/@DaniLaura/1140 ).
The first two pieces use the inverse of copper ratio (sqrt(5) - 2) and e^(-pi/2) respectively. The other two use the golden ratio, notice in the first how the splitting is more regular albeit not periodic (the colors here are just related to the shape of each rectangle so that it becomes more apparent). The last one was divided more in depth and the borders were not drawn to produce a texture.

Artwork of shapes with right angles, colors black, white and shades of yellowish orange and violet.
Artwork of rectangles of different proportions, colors black, white and shades of violet.
Artwork of rectangles of 5 different proportions/orientations, each different one using colors white, red, pink, light and dark green. The structure is more regular than the previous albeit not periodic.
Texture using black, white, and shades of red, orange and yellow.

GUARDIAN MONSTERS for Protection and Inspiration
What the heck is a Guardian Monster?
I am so glad you asked. Perhaps you've heard of guardian angels -- those lovely, winged beings who guide and protect you? Well, when the job requires a specialized "monster point of view", these eager fellows step up!

GRUMPTINKUS GRIPPER
PERSONALITY: Loyal and protective, she is a proud member of the Elite Guardian Monster Patrol. Once you get past her “challenging” appearance, you will discover a devoted and steadfast friend.

POTENTIAL ISSUES: A well-developed stubborn streak and unnerving growl. She has also, on occasion, displayed moments of extreme grumpiness. This is to be expected and accepted as an inherent part of her nature. Do not be offended or hold this against her. Just leave her alone to grump it out by herself. She will truly appreciate your understanding.

RULES OF ETIQUETTE: Please be aware that she chooses whom she will assist or not. She selects her friends very carefully and will join you only if she considers you worthy. Once again, please do not be offended. She has extremely high standards and most who initially seek her friendship leave disappointed. Simply try again at a later date. (Author’s note: It took me three tries before she finally found me acceptable enough to assist. And we had already been friends for several months!! How’s that for picky!)

Drawn in graphite and colored pencil, a vivid orange creature with swirls of blue, glare at the viewer with glowing eyes. A large nose, fanged mouth, long ape-like arms, extremely stumpy legs, spiky body and ears complete the picture -- which, by most accounts, is not exactly pleasant. Balanced upon its seriously grumpy head is the letter G -- which it guards with ferocity. It is a monster after all.

Luke Orion 🏳️‍⚧️♾️🥄

In an attempt to keep my family fed and get ourselves sorted out in our new RV life, there is now a discount on my art commissions through the rest of April! Use code APRILSHOWERS (April showers, in all caps, with no space) to get 25% off a custom piece of art! Whatever you'd like, as long as it's SFW, I'm happy to do! Pets and human portraits are most popular, followed by OCs (furries welcome), landscapes, and anything you can put your mind to. When I'm not working on commissions, I'm working on writing music, my books, and sharing our RV journeys on tiktok (sometimes youtube). Meanwhile, Betty has been working on new music, as well as an Old-Time Radio podcast!

Sleepy Monster in a Teacup
Humans aren't the only ones who enjoy a spot of tea now and again. Little monsters have been know to slip quietly into kitchens when no one is around and sneak a sip of two of freshly brewed sweetness. This sleepy creature drank a bit too much sweet jasmine tea and found it hard to stay awake. Shhhhhh...

In a delicate china teacup, a pale, tiny monster dozes and dreams... probably for more delicious tea... :-)

Peaceful Moment at Sunrise. A muted gray creature rests lightly upon a barren branch, high atop a solitary tree at sunrise. It's expression is calm and thoughtful. The expansive sunlit sky paints its face, feathered mane and furred body with orange, as its long tail wraps around the branch securely. NOTE: This description created especially for my lovely blind friend, Georgiana. :-)

Early in the morning, at the edge of a forest of brown and purple, greens and gold, a smiling bear pads quietly across the grass. Caught in a sunbeam, a young girl in a flowered yellow dress is sleeping upon his back, her arms folded under her head. Plants, like ferns and budding flowers, line each side of the glade.
