Hello.

My name is Stefan G. Bucher, and you're looking at a collection of my monsters.

For 100 days, I filmed myself putting a few drops of ink on a piece of paper each day and transforming the resulting blot into a new monster. Every night I posted the result on my website dailymonster.com and stood back in wonder as visitors from all over the world told me the amazing stories behind each creature.

WHAT'S INSIDE THIS BOOK?

100 Daily Monsters
257 of my favorite monster stories
1 DVD featuring all 100 Daily Monster video clips, 701 bonus comments and stories, one Real Time Monster, a special video message from yours truly, and 10 Open Source Ink Blots that let you make your own Daily Monsters.

GO AHEAD! TAKE A LOOK INSIDE!
The monsters aren't going to bite...

Well ... hang on ... they actually might. But I made sure they all had their rabies shots before I sent the book to print. Just look out for Monsters 44 and 57. And for No.79. He just gets too excited. And No.82. He's got a circular saw for a hand, and he's off his medication. Other than that you should be fine!

What a great book

By Jessica Smith on January 28, 2014

Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase

My son showed me [...]and it was one of the first times I've seen him excited about art. I bought him this book and a great ink set so he could create his own...honestly, I might have bought it for me...cause it's a lot of fun to read, and then come up with your ideas!

A Monster of a Phenomenon

By valentine03 VINE VOICE on June 22, 2008

Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase

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, [...] 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. :)

100 Days Of Monsters (with DVD)

By Christa Stanek VINE VOICE on November 1, 2011

Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase

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!

CREATIVE TO THE FIFTH POWER !!

By Steven J. Weinberg on April 6, 2008

Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase

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 came with a broken spine. I opened ...

By Laura Wilson on March 1, 2015

Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase

This book came with a broken spine. I opened up the cover and the entire spine is exposed. This book was supposed to be used in my classroom with lots of students enjoying it, now I am not sure I can let students open the cover without it falling apart?

great book

By Pam holt on March 14, 2013

Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase

really fun and great book...only thing I don't understand is why some of the files I can't open...will help in teaching the concept of thinking outside the box and problem solving, since you cant erase ink! Very captivating.
