Hi. I’m The Angry Piper. You might remember me as a guy who used to paint stuff. Not so much these days, but if I can’t get off my ass for what’s fast approaching, then I should just hang up my painting kilt for good. May is upon us, and that can mean only one thing. It’s Monster May(hem) yet again!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Veterans of Monster May(hem) will recall that it is a painting challenge I host annually in May (duh), which focuses on painting monsters. It is open to both old-school blog scrollers and new-fangled Instagrammers. Monster May(hem) does not discriminate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

What is Monster May(hem)? Why, it\u2019s the month you paint monsters, of course. Any monster will do, although it should be a proper MONSTER<\/strong>, something big and mean. I mean something truly beastly; like a manticore or a hydra or a giant, irradiated chicken. Your monster(s) doesn\u2019t have to be strictly a fantasy miniature, and it may be any scale and from any manufacturer. For example, I painted those wampas last year (and not much since.) <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How many monsters you paint is up to you. The minimum is one, of course; but feel free to do as many as you like. The only caveat is that they get painted sometime in May. I will link to your stuff throughout the month, and (if it\u2019s not there already) add your blog\/website\/social media to the blogroll on the side! If you don\u2019t have a site of your own and still want to participate, I\u2019ll happily host your pictures here and ensure you get proper attribution! (And I’ll be much better about it than I was with the Year of the Dragon challenge last year.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So if you’re in, let me know in the comments below or reach out on Instagram. I’ll post the list of participants in the next post. Until then, go find some monsters to paint!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
