Set & Drift gladly presents #1 in the “Carry On, Beasties!” series: a delightfully art-beastly piece by Portland based designers/illustrators Josh Kenyon & Colby Nichols (Jolby).
Ever since we first laid eyes on their work in ’09 at Subtext Gallery in San Diego, we’ve been quite enamored with their wily creations. So without further ado, for the little monsters in your life, here are some beasties… from Jolby to you:

“Up on a Hill There Is a Place” by Jolby
Name: These creatures are called “Shapesters”!
They are free-flowin’, easy-goin’, relaxed creatures that are all about having a good time.
Habitat: They all live in this house on a hill in Portland, Oregon, and they share everything.
Superpower: Shapesters can take on any shape they want including animals, plants, and objects.
They also have the ability to make anyone smile. You’ll never see a Shapester frowning. (They are always happy.)
