Gretchen K DeahlBaby Monsters: Monsters have babies too.<br>
Baby monsters are even harder to find than the elusive "baby" pigeon. Very few folks can say that they've seen them, let alone created their portraits. I have been lucky. As you might imagine, monster parents can be a bit protective. Mothers in particular. They consider us (humans) more than a bit strange and potentially dangerous. It took most of my free time, lots of monster "treats" and carefully followed Monster Etiquette to befriend just a few of them. Even then, I felt a bit nervous and on edge as I made sketches of their most beloved offspring. It is always a good idea to remind oneself that monsters are ultimately unpredictable creatures, and should be given proper respect at all times.<br>
<br>
This teeny, weeny baby is about the size of a large acorn. I found her around twilight, huddled on the forest floor, hiding amongst the fallen leaves and acorns, waiting for her mom to return with dinner. I kept my distance while I hastily made her portrait, knowing that she was somewhere close by. The last thing I wanted to do was make this sweet baby anxious.<br>

These four wee babies hide behind their mom's tentacles, peeking out to watch me as I create their portraits. One of them is too sleepy to pay much attention. Patient mom keeps a watchful eye on her brood as they scamper about.<br>

Gretchen K DeahlBaby Monsters: Monsters have babies too.<br>
Baby monsters are even harder to find than the elusive "baby" pigeon. Very few folks can say that they've seen them, let alone created their portraits. I have been lucky. As you might imagine, monster parents can be a bit protective. Mothers in particular. They consider us (humans) more than a bit strange and potentially dangerous. It took most of my free time, lots of monster "treats" and carefully followed Monster Etiquette to befriend just a few of them. Even then, I felt a bit nervous and on edge as I made sketches of their most beloved offspring. It is always a good idea to remind oneself that monsters are ultimately unpredictable creatures, and should be given proper respect at all times.<br>

This teeny, weeny baby is about the size of a large acorn. I found her around twilight, huddled on the forest floor, hiding amongst the fallen leaves and acorns, waiting for her mom to return with dinner. I kept my distance while I hastily made her portrait, knowing that she was somewhere closeby. The last thing I wanted to do was make this sweet baby anxious.<br>
