OPEN SOURCE MONSTER 21
Good evening. Finally! Finally! With much delay,
here is a brand new Open Source Ink Blot for you.
If you haven't taken a stab at making a monster of your own---and with Halloween right around the corner---this may be the perfect week for you to get in on the action. Here's how it works: Download OPEN SOURCE INK BLOT 21, print it out, and have at it in any way you like: Draw, paint, origami, film, sculpt, write a screenplay about it. Just scan, photograph, or otherwise document the result and send it my way at opensource@344design.com and I'll put the result on the blog right here. If you can, please make your file 480 pixels wide. If you can't, don't worry about it.
I'll resize it for you.
For now, I hope you'll enjoy this week's monster gallery.
I know I am. And you know that 344 LOVES YOU
















Wow! Sam's piranha is the best! Perfect use of the ink spatter, and so creepy and goofy all at the same time! This is exactly why I used to hate swimming in the lake as a kid. I always imagined these lived in the dark spots under rocks and in tree shadows.
Come to think of it, I still don't like swimming in the lake.

Hey Sam I think that you were the one who posted a link to photoshop tutorials online, for shadow effects and I never thanked you - so thank you!
Thanks Stefan for posting such a great slew of words and pics. That's a big project.
And thanks everyone for the entertainment!
