Monster's Elephant

Sugar Fruit

Sugar Fruit is a 24"x 30"x.5" acrylic painting, owned by an art collector in Texas; Matt Brown (no relation); an homage to a memory of a pear, to which a whole chapter is devoted in the book, "What DIdn't Kill Me" by Kristen Brown. limited edition prints are available on Voice.

Shattered

Shattered is an unstretched canvas painting, measuring approximately 5' x 7'. The base layer is flat black acrylic, and gloss black latex, to create depth, as each layer of the brightest white (reflective traffic paint), the brightest bold red, and alternating flat and glossy black and white latex, and acrylic paints, creates an effected of shattered glass.

An ethereum nft is available on Voice, to serve as the certificate of authenticity. Shipping not included in the price reflected on Voice. 

Bassnectar Vibe

Bassnectar Vibe is a 5'x7'x2" canvas painting, owned by the artist's youngest daughter. While listening to a playlist of Bassnectar EDM for six hours, layers of latex, oil, and acrylic paints were masterfully intertwined into a web of mystery. The original painting will never be for sale, however, limited edition prints are available via an ethereum NFT on Voice. 

Secret Grotto

Secret Grotto is an absolutely stunning, 24"x30"x.5" oil, acrylic, and latex, canvas painting. The name was inspired by the appearance of looking out from behind a tropical waterfall. The original painting is available for sale, as are limited editions.

Comfortable Darkness

Comfortable Darkness is a 7 'x5' unstretched acrylic, and latex, canvas painting inspired by the Lethal Princess EDM song by the same name. Sometimes, it feels more comfortable to sink into the sadness or grief to really work out all those emotions before stepping into the light of healing. Standing in front of this painting is like a cosmic hug for your soul. Limited editions, and the original canvas are available for sale.

Bass Necktar

Bass Necktar is a 16"x20" acrylic painting inspired by a bass guitar owned Korean musician, Lee Junghoon; gifted to Nigerian fashion designer, Jasper Alachu.

Paleozoic

Paleozoic is one of those, "I wouldn't sell it for anything", paintings. Reminiscent of a prehistoric cave wall,  Paleozoic is more of an existential vibrational experience than simply admiring a work of art. Standing in front of Paleozoic, one feels transported as if you just time-traveled. 

Spring Day

Painted while listening to the BTS of the same name, Spring Day is a 2'x3' unstretched acrylic, oil, and latex painting. The original painting is available for sale; contact Monster, via the contact page, for pricing and shipping information.

Melted Crayons

Despite the name, no crayons were involved. Melted Crayons is a 24"x30"x.5" oil, latex, and acrylic canvas painting. Monster donated this painting to a charity auction, rescuing hundreds of abandoned dogs in the everglades. Limited edition nfts are available on Objkt.

Summertime

Summertime is an homage to dragonflies, because I think they get upstaged by butterflies, when they are just as impressive in my opinion.

City Rain

Painted on a rainy day; City Rain captures the cold solitude of muted busy city life. (This painting is for sale.)

More than Love

Busy Bee

Bloodletting

What do you see in this painting? The artist sees blood soaking into the concrete. Bloodletting is for sale.

Chaotic Sunset

Intrepid Hope

When everything has gone horribly wrong, but you still show up to give it all you've got. (This painting is not for sale.)

Luna Sea

Pursuit of Happiness

Time-Stretched

Ravaged

My Dragon

The only reason the artist even claims this painting, is the fire. Look at that fire. No, like only look at the fire, haha. There should be more fire. 

My dragon is a 24" x 30"x.5" acrylic canvas painting that was trading for left handed guitar lessons, that never actually happened. Now we have no dragon, no fire, and no guitar lessons. Isn't that just the way of things sometimes. Did you see the fire?

Candy Crushed

Have you ever gone down the rabbit hole known as Candy Crush? Then this painting needs no explanation; as it's clearly an exact replica of our brain wiring while playing, Candy Crush for far too many hours in a day. 

Candy Crushed Souls is a 24"x 30"x.5" acrylic and latex canvas painting. The original is not for sale, though you may purchase the nft on Voice to use for prints and merch.

Conflicted

Conflicted is a 24"x 30"x.5" watercolor and acrylic mixed together, spilled on canvas, and a paint brush gently dragging pools of watery paint around in a random, abstract manner. The "conflicted" part is in regards to the artist's desire to paint the "pieces" like stained glass, conflicting with the desire to leave the contrast of black and white. The artist is keeping the painting, so maybe someday, "Conflicted" will get a glow-up and a name change, "Stained Glass Penguin".
