Dan the Monster Man creates variety of paper-mache beasts


 Artist Dan Reeder has been crafting creatures from paper-mache for nearly 40 years. The 60 year old, who resides in Seattle, specializes in making monsters, especially dragons. “It's pretty clear that I love dragons,” Reeder wrote on his website. “I'd be very happy only building them.” 

Reeder actually uses nothing but paper-mache when he sculpts, while most other paper-mache artists use wire to make the base of their project before applying a paper-mache skin. 

In another interesting technique variation, Reeder covers his paper sculptures in a layer of cloth dipped in glue. 

Initially, circa 1984, Reeder referred to his creatures as “screamers” because they always had their mouths open. Since then, he has branched out into making a plethora of animals and monsters including lions, pigs, fish, hippos, Frankenstein's monster, and Maleficent from Disney's “Sleeping Beauty.”

Multi Dimensional Reality

The world as you know it - all that you see, taste, feel and touch, comprises only about 5% of all of the stuff of the universe. The other 95% is what we have considered "nothing" or the "firmament"  or dark matter or the heavens or mystic Other Worlds. This 95% is multi-dimensional and consists of potential realities that may be perceived.

A single thought...a mere whisper, ...... barely upon a breeze that catches a spark... all is tinder before the firestorm... and yet.
ONLY that whisper
ONLY that thought
 the world is forever changed beyond the fears and dreams of cardboard men.
Freedom and change starts within:
It is encouraged by truth and courage of people who love
Built by the respect of true beings standing as one before each other.
Lets us cross every man made borders
without fear stare into eyes and hearts of all our brothers and sisters: within our words without shouting,or force to hold each to our truths; and let us without fear freely share what works...
