I was amazed when I first saw Stefan Bucher’s Daily Monster website. Stefan successfully creates a variety of monsters, some cute and some scary, all starting with a simple ink blot.

This photo was taken in tropical paradise – Labadee, Haiti with beautiful sun and sandy beaches. That was why I was so surprised to find an image from my childhood – an image from a video game no less!
