My brother has been making these awesome little monsters out of socks for a little while. They are pretty cool and quite cute. I recently noticed that his etsy site was somehow a bit incomplete - so i thought about what made some of the other creature makers creatures successful. I decided that key was the stories the awesome story about each character and monster really added a lot of personalization to the various creatures. Like shawnimal and his ninjatown people. totally compelling story.

So i suggested this to dylan and BAM. he made a whole universe. Pretty awesome.

Check out his post about it. But more importantly, buy some of the little friends he made!
