Spring training is finally here and the Novel-T League players are arriving by horse, donkey, Rolls Royce, Pontiac, Brooklyn Ferry, whatever! But our excitement of seeing our vets tying on their cleats again and our rookies take the field for the first time is tempered by a certain amount of anxiety as this is the most likely time for players to injure themselves.

This past weekend we had the pleasure of meeting Los Angeles-based artist, Monster Kat. We were strolling through the Hollywood Farmers Market when we noticed the wonderful piece of artwork pictured below. Monster Kat paints her creatures on pages from vintage, recycled books.

This project reminds us a bit of one our favorite book/art-object crossovers, Tom Phillips' amazing The Humument. We suppose we owe The Humument a post...
