THE WORLD'S TALLEST MONSTER
Good morning. Welcome to THE WORLD'S TALLEST MONSTER! I'm counting on you to help me make this creature grow. Everything's fair game---ink, paint, photos, collage, twigs and branches, sequins and clay. Whatever fits into this template will work, as long as you have fun doing it.
Now, three regular monster contributors have pointed out that they would like to add to the World's Tallest Monster, but don't have access to Photoshop or the patience to figure out my directions, so I've made an alternative 8.5x11 PDF template for you.
Either way, please make sure that whatever you make ultimately ends up on the arrows, so that all the pieces fit together. If you have access to Photoshop, please fill in your name on the side. Otherwise make sure you label your file with your name, and I'll put it in on my end.
When you're ready, please send your files to tallestmonster@344design.com You can send in as many segments as you like. There's no limit. I can't wait to see what you come up with! (Check out the new segments by Mike Pisino, who I've challenged to make 30 segments in 30 workdays. He asked me to give him an assignment and he's paying the price!)
Since this is going to become an ever-expanding entry, I thought you might like to have an easily remembered permalink. So this page is now also available at tallestmonster.com Why? Because 344 LOVES YOU
TO BE CONTINUED...
P.S.: If you can think of a way I can make contributing to this monster easier for you, definitely leave a comment, please! Technology should never come between us! :^)
Nice idea; I'll see if I can think of something creative to contribute :)
nice work on your daily monsters; keep it up!

My kids (2 and almost 5) loved your Daily Monster and as I was checking your blog this morning they wanted to see your latest. It was the "tallest monster" segment and I told them they could put their art in there too! We enjoyed a lovely 45 minutes making some segments for you. I just rescanned the templates back into the computer and have attached them here.
Thanks!
Sarah, Emmy, and Denali

Just doing my periodic check-in...Sam's Bucher/Pringle Monster in a can chip rendition is AWESOME!
And I really dig Mike's dancing wu-li monster.
Well done!

Freakin' sweet Mike!
P.S. I always knew Bob had a secret for his longevity.

Hi. I just Past by you website. I like the site!
I think this is an interesting project, which should be made more interesting. I think you just added up something to be understood by anyone for anything, but not something to be understood in something suppose to be, except you just want to make it for fun or not important.
If I were you, then, make it as a ‘’your monster style’’ graphic note for a special thing happened everyday in my studio, people work around, or big day to be memorized…
Well, that is what I think about your contributing, maybe a better way, but not the easy way you hoped...

48% procent of all american women would date a guy that is over 7 foot tall.
So the questions is- are we giving birth to lonelyness?

Hi Jamie, Thank you for your comments and suggestion. I appreciate it. Unfortunately, what your suggestion goes a bit beyond what the mechanics of Typepad allow. I'm sure there's a smart workaround to achieve some of what you're asking for, but I'm not a web designer, so I'm definitely out of my depth there. As for laying the monster on its side --- wouldn't that make it the world's widest monster? ;^)
