Your Street Monster 5



I am leaving town tomorrow, so I posted up Your Street Monster a day early, but will have some
humans posting more throughout downtown tomorrow as well. This Monster includes a quote from a local who wanted to participate. I feel it is very appropriate for this time in our country. I hope you enjoy. Please help spread the word about Your Street Monster.

Humans Moving Your Street Monsters



Went into Subway today, someone or someones moved some of Your Street Monsters.
I just saw another one down by The Habit, cool beans.

Your Street Monster 4


I used a non local quote for this one, I liked the idea of this quote. Just random questioning of strange things we have become accustom to in this world of weirdness. I put up over 100 of these this time, when I usually did about 50, and this was the first one that asked for the viewers idea for a quote. Now I am actually getting emails with local human's ideas.

My friend Kevin asked if he could write a quote to go with the next Street Monster. This kind of spawned the whole of idea of getting other people involved. Kevin was leaving for China for the first time a few days before he started thinking about an idea for a quote. He submitted it to me on Thursday night, and I was more than pleased. I drew a Ghilen head on a human, and old Chinese monster, seemed appropriate.

Your Street Monster got a little creepier with this one. Documented some of the spots where the Monster was hiding.

This was the first Street Monster. Very basic, a trial run.

Your Street Monster Introduction

This project is to have yet another outlet of creativity, for myself, and for other people in our community of Ventura. I started about 4 weeks ago, this Friday June 26 2009 will be the fifth Monster to go up. Initially, my idea was to just draw a little eyes catching Monster, then to have some kind of quote with it to get humans to think. I then stick these up all over downtown Ventura not permanetly dmaging anything. As time progressed, I made the Monsters more relevant to the quotes. Then I thought it would be nice to get some interaction with other humans that read Your Street Monsters. So I left an email address for humans to send in thier own quotes, and then I would draw a Monster. Slowly but surely, the word is spreading. This Friday, a quote from a local human will be going up with a Monster. Just checked my email, and another human has sent me a quote to go up. Your Street Monster is getting scarier and scarier. I will post the previous Monsters to catch you up, and then individually post each one from here on out, and try and tell a little story about the Monster and hopefully the writer. Please enjoy & spread the word.
