Stefan G. Bucher is a good egg. He is the man behind 344design.com. He is the author of the book All Access—The Making of Thirty Extraordinary Graphic Designers, and of the late illustrated column “ink & circumstance” for STEP Magazine. He has created gratuitously ambitious work for David Hockney, Tarsem, Sting, and a whole roster of brilliant artists. Along the way, he has gained a unique perspective on what it takes to be a happy and successful designer today.
Starting in November of 2006 he filmed himself blowing ink on a piece of paper, making each random blot into a monster. He linked the result to his blog and, for the next 99 days, posted a new monster every night. He found himself the seed crystal for a community of monster obsessives that used his drawings as an excuse to tell stories. His book about the experience—100 Days of Monsters—is in stores now. All the while the monsters continue to proliferate at www.dailymonster.com
