The Real Monsters are reborn! 

Upon getting so much attention for my previous designs, I wanted to redesign the monsters and develop the concept a little more. You’ll notice most of the monsters have subtle alterations and the descriptions have been changed to better reflect my original concepts.

The complete Volume 2 of the Real Monsters.

It’s been a long time in the making but finally, I can release all of volume 2. I have a personal connection to most of the conditions so it’s been important to focus on the research stages and make sure I did these monsters justice. I hope these can help someone out there, in the same way the Volume 1 has helped so many other people. 

Thank you so much for all the continued support and the lovely messages I receive from fans of the series. This project is driven by requests and is created for you guys. [Volume 1]

Real Monsters Volume 1 postcard print sets are back in stock. Thanks to everyone who requested I do so. Orders will be sent out from 24th August onward.
