ABC Monstrosity

by Shea Proulx

A freaky-fun book designed to thrill adults and kids alike with pages that teach and entertain all at once. As each new letter is introduced with a drawing of a familiar object or animal, the previous ones are continuously combined to create bizarre monstrosities.The detailed drawings are beautifully hand coloured by Shea. Includes a zany glossary featuring fascinating scientific facts augmented with humor, the detailed monstrosities have goofball nonsense definitions, but the science behind how we might define more ordinary seeming animals and objects in our lives is surprisingly complex.

About the author

Shea Proulx spent her twenties going to forest-raves, living with a lot of strange people, and becoming over-educated at Emily Carr and UBC. Immediately after graduating with an MFA she discovered that she was totally pregnant. Juggling motherhood and artistic pursuits proved easier in Alberta, with the help of her mother, a fellow writer who really "gets" it. Her work is a nerdy trip, where memories and observations co-mingle to form sweet psychedelic spaces, and visual narratives steal the show.
