Monster Research In Paris

LE MONTE-EN-L'AIR 6 rue des panoyaux. M énilmontant, Paris
 




On Location in Paris I stumbled across LE MONTE-EN-L'AIR, an amazing resource for graphic novels and illustration. Amongst the racks of self publicised books and zines i found three little books featuring monsters and beasts.




Mini Zoo Logique By Joelle Jolivet
ISBN: 978-02-092710-9

This book has over 200 beautiful illustrations of animals from the land and sea providing great source material when developing designs for the regional book of beasts.







The Six Armed Girl
 by Sammy Stein
ISBN: 978-2-35634-005-4

This Little Publication has a nice selection of monsters invented by Sammy Stein including a seaweed beast (see images above).



 
 Universial Bestiaire by Professeur Revillod
ISBN: 978-2-7467-1176-1

Ever wondered what would happen if you crossed a Peacock a Camel and Cow?
This flip book alows you to mix and match all sorts of animal parts to create crazy outcomes, a must have for any serious monster designer.
