Monsters and their origins

Over the next few months Monster Workshop will be bringing you an inside look into the origins of the varying breeds of its monsters. Below are two English Silver-Flecks. These generally inhabit woods, swamps, and brushy areas that afford them cover; they are more nocturnal in their habits than other monsters and their characteristic long arms allow them to be competent tree climbers.

New Monster Paws!

Heres a glimpse at the new and improved
Monster paws that will be available late July.

Coraline

I've been waiting for the release of this stop-frame film for quite some time, written and directed by Henry Selick, who also diected the 'Nightmare before christmas'. I wasn't dissapointed, it was visually tasty! The story took a little while to get goin but I'd recommend to go see it and deffinately check out its website: http://www.coraline.com/.

To celebrate the release of the film, nike has made a limited run of custom 'dunks' which can be won through the coraline website. I'm a bit of a sneaker freak, so i'm off to try and nab a pair!!

Arthur and the Invisibles

Over the last few weeks i've been busy with some exciting character costume work for the Cannes Film Festival. Working alongside talented makers at the Jelly Head 3D studio on reproducing some of the main characters from the hit film Athur and the invisibles, directed by Luc Besson.



The costumes celebrate the sequal being previewed at the cannes Film festival.
I worked mostly on the prop side of things for the king character, this included the body armour and the staff. As well as a dagger, buttons and belts for a number of the other characters pictured.

For your eyes only

I've been working on a number of new members to the stitches and glue family and here's a sneaky peek at Ger bi. He's still under development, but its been great to try something a Little different.
