My brother, Keegan Basset, is the latest artist to contribute a sea monster. Sea Monstre is now a family affair!

Here is a preview.

Hey everyone. The official deadline for submissions is going to be December 14th. That gives you a little under a month left to submit artwork. I'm incredible pleased and excited about all the artwork that has been coming in.

More updates soon with new monsters!

The wonderful Corey Thompson, who runs Shapes of Sweetness has already submitted three monsters and they are all great. Here is one of them. Keep up the good work everyone!

We were linked on Brooklyn Vegan yesterday which is a very cool site.



Cornish has also granted our publication some money to help with printing and production, so things are going well!

A call for submissions:

The deadline for submissions is the beginning of December, so if there are people out there who would still like to contribute but have not yet, keep that in mind!

Once again, you can email me at trevorbasset@gmail.com

Martin Ernstsen has contributed a great sea monster. His artwork is great and I definitely recommend that everyone check out his work.

As more and more submissions come in, I am going to keep some a mystery, so here is a sample of his monster.

There are a lot of submissions on the way thanks to the Pitchfork article and fellow students at Cornish. I've seen lots of great stuff in progress and I can't wait to see the finished results.

I'm meeting with a funding board on Friday with a proposal to obtain money to help with supplies and printing. Hopefully everything goes well with that so that we will have enough money to print copies to distribute on the Internet.

The wonderful folks over at Pitchfork were kind enough to write a story about our little project.

A huge thanks to Pitchfork for everything!

SEA MONSTRE 9

As reported earlier, three of the members of Sunset Rubdown have contributed their very own sea monsters.







The first is by front-man, Spencer Krug, the second by Michael Doerksen and the third by Jordan Robson-Cramer. It was a great experience to meet the band and the monsters they came up with are all great.

SEA MONSTRE 8

I met my favorite band, Sunset Rubdown, earlier this week and three of the four members of the band drew sea monsters for us. I don't have access to a scanner during the weekend, but I will put the drawings up as soon as possible.

At this point in the project, I am going to begin to tone down on the updates. I'd like for there to still be some surprise when the book actually comes out. This doesn't mean I am done taking contributions, I'd still love many many more! Once again, if you would like to contribute, my email address is trevorbasset@gmail.com.

One of my absolute favorite comic artists, Jeffrey Brown, has contributed his very own wonderful sea monster drawing.



I highly recommend everyone go and check out some of Jeffrey's work.

This contribution was done by a drunken Ryan Sahlin last weekend. Props to Ryan for throwing in his own creative touch.

SEA MONSTRE 5

Last night I had the privilege of meeting two of my favorite musicians, Rollie Pemberton (Cadence Weapon) and Owen Pallett (Final Fantasy). Both of them were kind enough to contribute their very own sea monsters to our little publication.





A big thanks to Owen and Rollie for participating. It is nice to see what sort of art a variety of people can come up with, whether those people are actors, musicians, designers, artists, et cetera.
