riginally I wanted to write a book directly for my portfolio and to build experience but never put much thought into one, especially a children's book.
Around Halloween I was painting little monsters on small canvas' for a festival I was vending at and I loved them so much I decided that I would make a children's book based on them considering I already had characters. My mother pushed me more towards ideas for the book so I started drawing them out.I
eventually got really inspired with it and worked on it non-stop while actually re-doing everything at one point. I had help from the people in my life which made it much easier to get accomplished. Now I would love to sell them and get them out into the world and share a cute story about the legendary "monsters under the bed" myth. I painted the images and characters with colorful gouache paint to give the book a playful and childish feel.
It is also gender neutral, as I made both main characters a male and female (the younger sister and the green love monster).

Love Monsters 2 is an addition to the first Love Monsters that was published in 2018. The first book is about a little girl Sara, who is afraid of the monsters under her bed. She then discovers a land under her bed where Love Monsters live.
The Love Monsters are good monsters and are just like us they only look different. The story goes into the Love Monsters everyday lives like getting their hair done and going to the park. The second book goes off of the first one yet it goes into the personal lives of six different Love Monsters. They share their hobbies and skills one by one. Teaching children all the fun activities, skills, and hobbies that live behind technology.
For instance, reading books and planting seeds outside. Not only is Love Monsters teaching children not to be afraid of monsters under their bed but turning it into a fun adventure and imagination for children. Hopefully the second book will express the thrill of natural fun that involves being outside or in a library.
Love Monsters is available for sale on Amazon.com for only $12.00.
