McMonster has developed a unique style of painting with ink and has created a surreal world. As he describes it: Story telling with no narrative.
Take a look at this 1 minute clip, which encapsulates his process.

If you post your poem on Instagram, using McMonser's image, please tag @mc__monster (double underscore) and mention him as the collaborating artist in your post.
Let the image speak to you and respond in a poetic form of your choosing:
Literal! Figurative! Reflective! Narrative! Symbolic!
As an alternative, you may write a Flash Fiction 55 inspired by the art, or on a subject of your choice, in memory of Galen, who first imagined this challenge. Prose is acceptable but must be within the limit of 55 words!

Good morning Kerry and Toads! Thank you for introducing us to another fabulous artist. I love inky art and this image sparked my imagination.

ReplyDeleteKerry, just wow! I'm going to work on responding to this amazing piece from McMonster on the weekend. WOW.
ReplyDeleteHey Kerry—I woke up wanting to write a poem and was so happy to see the cool pic, which I used. I also did my own pic as that is my way. Anyway, looking forward to reading people, and a brief trip back! Hope you and all are well. K.
ReplyDeleteOh wow, I see by Kim's poem, it is an owl in the picture. I saw a catbird.....oh well, we'll leave the catbird in the poem. Smiles.
ReplyDeleteJust want to say how deeply Karin’s poem resonated.
