The photo above shows a few of the puzzle pieces from our new Creature Ladder puzzle (picture in previous post). When I was designing this puzzle, I realized how much fun I was having drawing monsters, and I started seeing every piece as a little monster. Monsters have an amazing sense of freedom. They are supposed to be: ugly- inside and out, scary, surprising, sneaky, wrong, people-eating, and yet not really responsible for their actions because they just don’t know any better. I felt this kind of freedom as I drew my little monster pieces. - Maria Berg
