Designer and illustrator Stefan G. Bucher loves drawing monsters, so he filmed himself drawing an ink-blot monster every day for 100 days and posted the videos online.
The result was an overwhelming response from all corners of the globe as fans submitted stories about the trials and triumphs of each unique monster.
A companion DVD contains movies of each of the monsters being drawn, as well as additional monster stories.
In addition, there is a foreword from Ze Frank.

Penguin Classics Deluxe Editions and Beijing's National Stadium by Herzog & de Meuron have been declared two of the most innovative and progressive international designs from the last twelve months as announced by the Design Museum in London on March 11, 2008.
Penguin Classics Deluxe Editions won in the Graphics category.
The judges commented, "The art direction of Paul Buckley and Helen Yentus is a great achievement in commissioning a highly skilled group of illustrators and cartoonists whose creative visions have produced some fantastic atmospheric yet very individual covers with high artistic flair and design integrity."
These Penguin Classics Deluxe Editions feature one-of-kind book cover illustrations by a number of leading and internationally renowned cartoonists and illustrators.
The artwork was required to encompass the front and back cover as well as the flaps, which provided the graphic artists with a wraparound space where they were able to create an evocative atmosphere.
These Penguin Classics Deluxe Editions connect a literary genre on the inside with a cartoon genre on the outside while also featuring the world-class notes and literary and educational extras that the Penguin Classics are known for.
The series was art directed by Paul Buckley and Helen Yentus, and Paul also was responsible for the designs of some of the titles.
