Once upon a time, a control enthusiast with a pen drew himself a monster--and the rest is history.

You can test-flight this book at Bucher's site, www.dailymonster.com, where all 200 of the monsters he eventually released still live--going to their jobs, having their babies, reading and writing and dancing and taking over the world--doing all the things monsters do. I encourage you to do so, and then buy this book.

Someday someone you are talking to will rail against the web, talk about all the terrible things on it, all the bad people. Then you can point to 100 Days of Monsters, and you can say, "Things like THIS--people from all over the world sharing a creative moment, interacting to make something beautiful and funny and playful--how would you make something like THIS happen, if not for the internet?" And if not for, it goes without saying, Stefan G. Bucher and his band of authors.

I came to the game too late to be part of the book--but oh, it was a lovely thing to have my child come downstairs every morning and say, "Mom! Did you monster yet?"

What a wonderful time. I thank you, Stefan. You did good. You didn't just talk the talk, you walked the walk. You followed your heart, and it shows. :)

This book is phenomenal! Stefan Bucher's work is so creative and funny. I love it! I look at this book every day before I go in to work in the morning. It is so creative, and the DVD that comes with the book is really great too! I would recommend this book to anyone inspired by the creativity of others, and to anyone who just enjoys a good laugh and awesome drawings!! Also, the comments from real message boards that are included in some pages of the book are really interesting too! It's great to see that an artist can be so appreciative of the opinions of the public, and actually use them in his book.

Not only are the monsters truly great, but their presentation in this book is superb! This book isn't read, it's experienced. 100 Days of Monsters is source of enjoyment and inspiration for me. If you are remotely interested in this book, buy it!

100 Days of Monsters is a fun journey through 100 days of artist Stefan G. Bucher's life. Each day starts with a great drawing of a "Monster," and includes stories and comments from many of his avid readers. Each monster is endearing in its own way, and Stefan's unique way of creating these characters, only makes them more endearing.
I highly recommend this book. Just think of it as a really good picture book for adults!

This is a great book. Very well put together. The little unexpected tidbits of an off the wall comment here and some all but hidden messages in the the fine print there make it not your everyday, ordinary book. This one is fun in all respects. The Monsters are all distinct personalities and the stories accent their lives. I love it!!

My friend would go to the blog site and she would make up stories about the picture's. Not being as artistic as she is I thought oh well. But once I started to get into Stefan Bucher's method's and thought process I realized how great it was to read the book. Thank You Stefan Bucher. ( please look for
Sequena/Annie Nordmark in the book my friend writes great stories for the pictures )Thanks

This book was just a neat thing to check out everyday. Still. It gives me a smile every time he starts with just one blot of ink and spreads it, from there it becomes a living, personified, under the bed madness!, type creature that lurks off every new page. Its grand, most definitely worth checking out!!!

We all have demons and Mr. Bucher's managed to escape, first into his blog and then onto the pages of this great little book. Watch out, they are also infectious, many lovely people have been already afflicted with monster mania. From cover to cover this book is a monster of a success when it comes to creativity.

Of course, I'm one of the contributors, so my view may be a little biased. However, if you begin at the beginning and just read it like you would any other book, you begin to get a real feeling for these little monsters Stefan has drawn. The book itself is very high quality, as is the DVD that comes with it.

Many hours of enjoyment for a great price.

What a bargain for any creative mind. I really think this is so fun
for almost any age...you ARE creating with INK so use your judgement
on the appropriate age group. I have had fun with it and would suggest
this to anyone who loves art and just wants to have some mindless fun
making some cute little monsters!
