Intro of these Monsters from other world:
A universe consists of many different and small worlds. These individual worlds connect with each other with bones. Bones are secret tunnels between two worlds. Creatures might coincidently pass through a secret tunnel and enter another world.
Story starts from…. Monsters have so much fun in the Human world during Halloween evening. They completely immerse in the happy atmosphere, and fully forget to leave the human’s world before the door between Human world and Monster World closed.
Now the Monsters have no choice but face the consequence: they are stuck in the Human World. However, this is only a small issue and therefore not a big problem for them. They are still having fun and enjoying all the things the Human World offers.
Fluffy Monster is a ‘party animal’ and loves to party. She went to Human World to celebrate Halloween. She had too much fun however and forgot to return to Monster World before the portal between the Human World and the Monster World closed. Now she is stuck now in the human world. This is not a problem because everything is so interesting to her and she is having a lot of fun.
Birthday King loves giving birthday parties and inviting friends, even strangers. In fact, he just likes the feeling, being like a King of the party and receiving the gifts from everybody.
Happy Monster has a positive mindset and loves to laugh. It is very easy to keep her happy mood, even when very bad things have happened to her. Nobody knows if she is too positive, or careless, or simply crazy? !
Baggy Monster is an insecure creature. Only when he is hiding in a box or bag like a shell, he feels safe and comfortable. Keeping his shell in good condition is not always easy so he needs to fix or change his shell from time to time, like a crab in the sea, hermit crabs. Observing people behind his shell is his favorite activity.
There are three categories of Bread Monster Families, White Bread, Brown Bread, and Dark Bread. They will keep their own colors until 12 years old. Since 12 years old, they can see pigment molecules floating in the air, and color their body, change their appearance with pigment molecules.
Rainbow Bread is from a Monster family of White Bread and was born as other White Breads. His skin had no color but pale white so loves color so much. We can even say he is mentally affected by colors. His wish is to collect all kinds of different colors all over the world. On a day of his 3 years old and he saw a colorful rainbow hanging in the sky. He was so amazed by the rainbow. Since then he wishes that he could turn to 12 years old imminently and color himself like rainbow.
Big Eyed Bird’s looks just like her name. She has a pair of big eyes that allows her to see sharply and clearly from far away place.
Fire & Water Spirit can collect water and heat from the air and use them like fuel to float and move in the air.
Anonymous Monsters in Picnic: The only information we got is this photo. There is no other information about these Monsters so we have been labeled as Anonymous Monsters.

I just finished the illustration workshop of Sweet Halloween last Sunday. I was very happy and surprised that the participants were from such diverse fields as law, marketing, digital art, library, writing, etc. When I ran the creative thinking exercises, I found that most of the participants had already a lot of experience with painting and rich creativity. (Everyone was too good. That made me feel a bit useless, and I could only assist from the side. XD)
During the workshop, the participants were creating their own unique little monsters, while sharing their own stories, and eating delicious and delicate sweets. It was so wonderful that the workshop was full of rich creativity, warmth and laughter and I enjoyed it very much. At the end of the workshop, I received more positive feedback than I expected. I will also try to improve my workshop, and bring more fun to all my participants
The only thing that I feel a little pity for was that I didn’t have the opportunity to get to know each of my participants better. I hope that I can hold a small exhibition next year or the year after. Then I can take this chance to get to know my participants and fans better
———-.
Thank Round and Round Rotterdam for the delicious sweets and great assistance, and many good friends for their helpful feedback.
In addition, I have to thank the crews of Venture Café who have given me opportunities and assisted me in running many different workshops, and many participants at Venture Café have given me a lot of effective feedback.
Oh ya~ I almost forgot to thank my Black Ink Monster ambassador. He was helping me to warm up the workshop! ^^
—— In Chinese: Sweet Halloween 工坊後記 / 10月16日——-
上週日剛辦完小怪獸插畫工坊。很開心、也非常意外參加者來多種不同的領域，比如：法律、行銷、書寫、數位藝術、圖書館等等 。在帶著大家做創意發想練習時，我發現參加者大多已有許多的繪畫經驗和豐富的創意。(大家都太厲害了，讓做為開授插畫工坊的我感到毫無用武之地，只能默默在旁協助。XD)
大家邊邊創作著各自獨特的小怪獸、邊分享各自創作的小故事、邊吃著Round & Round 好吃精致的茶點。整個插畫工坊充斥著滿滿的豐富的創意、滿滿的溫暖及笑聲。在工坊的最後，我收到超乎我預期正面的反饋。我也會繼續努力將工坊舉辦得更好玩、有趣的！
唯一讓我感到有點宛惜的是，我沒機會和每一位來自不同領域的參與者好好聊一下、彼此交流。希望明年或後年能有機會辦個小型的畫展，借此機會和workshop 的參與者還有粉絲好好認識、交流一下。^^

感謝 Round and Round 好吃的茶點和大力協助，還有很多好朋友們給我的很有幫助 feedback! 🙂
此外，還有許多在 Venture Café 人員給我機會及協助我辦多場不同的workshops，許多在Venture Café 的參與者給我很多有效的 feedback. 🙂
對了！還要感謝臨時決定擔任串場工作的黑點點大使！^^

Story behind the illustration:
The girl “Kimie / 槿敏” has a special ability, seeing all kinds of Monsters.
A Sunday afternoon, I was hanging out with her friends, Lie-Lie in Natuur Museum. While we were walking toward home, I saw a small monster which attached to a small tower of the house and an Alien kind of monster which attached to Euromast. The monster looked very busy with typing something or controlling the UFO – Euromast. I was wondering if actually the Euromast was built by Alien kind Monster….?
