In the vein of the great Edward Gorey and Maurice Sendak's Where The Wild Things Are, an irresistible little book of monster drawings, all on office stationery

John Kenn Mortensen's pen is full of wonderfully creepy monsters which crawl onto sticky yellow note pads when darkness falls. Here we have collected some of the best monster drawings in a delectable hardback edition.

The Little Monsters Jump off The Page

"Sticky Monsters" is a wonderful collection of pen art by John Kenn Mortensen. Originally drawn on yellow sticky notes, it makes you wonder how much skill it takes to fit all those details into such a small canvas - but this artist does it quite impressively. Although there is no storyline to this book, each of the 70+ images contain a little story that is connected visually. One could wonder if there is a small town somewhere where all these monsters exist among the living. If you like monsters and macabre in this same style I highly recommend this fairytale about a little girl and a haunted house:

For your nightstand

I've been enjoying his work on Facebook for awhile now and was excited to see he had a book available, so, I squealed and ordered it. Why this comes in a plain ole Amazon box instead of a container that hides a bursting-out-tentacle is just a reminder of the mundane world we live in. STICKY MONSTERS is a bit bigger than the size of your hand, square, slimmer than your pinky, and full of kooky goodness. Every page could hold it's own little story - if you dared imagine it. Any human featured must be experiencing trepidation, and every lurking menace nearby seems to have just noticed lunch has arrived. Since the pictures were originally on yellow stickies, they're reproduced in similar size - and you'll probably (like me) wish they were bigger, colorful, and even more revelatory. That's what makes them special efforts. This is sort of the perfect combination of Ed Gorey, Tim Burton, Roald Dahl, and Boris Karloff - whimsical, creepy, full of haunting whispers, and beautifully drawn.

Delightfully Dark, but in Doses

As a longtime follower of John Kenn's work online, I was pleased to see it all collected in one place. Full of fantastical creatures as it is, it seems fitting to be a physical object, to sit alongside dark, old fairy tales. It certainly conjures similar feelings of fear and danger. I do have reservations that prevent a fifth star from being awarded. Given the nature of Kenn's illustrations as one-off pieces, taking them in in succession gradually diminishes the effect. As an occasional blog post, the drawings were all fresh; in print, it is easy to grow tired of yet another "just before something dreadful happens" scene. It makes for a wonderful "coffee table" book, something to leaf through at random, and take in gradually.

Fan of his work but this collection is lacking

I'm giving this collection of John Kenn Mortensen's, STICKY MONSTERS, only three stars with no disrespect to him and his work. This is merely a review on what this collection lacks. I am was disappointed with the fact that this collection is lacking his more high detailed drawing that you can view on the internet. Those were the drawings that made me a fan to begin with. I'm unsure if he's going to continue making collections, and I don't know of any other books out there of his work, but the title does state "STICKY MONSTERS." This is really just a collection of his lower detailed background art work with more focus on the macabre creatures.

This book is so cool!

My children love/ and are terrified of this book! My first grader keeps hiding it all over the house so it can't "get him", but then he wants me to read it with him. He does seem to be getting braver. Terrific art in the tradition of Edward Gorey!

Yes, yes, yes! Get some Monsters!

This is a great little book! I discovered this by accident, but when I saw his style, I thought it would be worth the low price. And I was not wrong! So fun and whimsical, but dark at the same time, I just love all the scenarios and creatures in this special little world he created. Funny, but the settings have a very European feel to me for some reason, I don't know why, but it just adds to the creepy, old movie, monster factor! You can't go wrong with this purchase, if you're a monster lover, or know someone who is, this would make a great gift. This is one of my new favorites for inspiration in creating my own ghouls and creatures! Shipping was a bit lengthy(only because we're spoiled with 2 day Prime!), but well worth the wait. You can't beat it. Great work, Mr. Mortensen!

Secure Packaging, Fantastic Quality

The book arrived in secure and protective packaging and came in great quality condition. It is just like new. The illustrations came out beautifully and I'm delighted to support this artist in his ventures. I'm very pleased with this purchase.

A Joy of a Collection of Drawings

Admittedly, Mortensen's drawings remind me of Edward Gorey's work, but I like the art of both of these guys! The book is small, 80 pages and not a full-size hardcover, but the drawings inside (with almost no accompanying text) are a delight to contemplate. The artist has a unique style that's fun and outrageous at the same time. The most frequent theme of his drawings are giant monsters of various types and appearances lurk near some unsuspecting little boy or girl, adults or groups of people much smaller than the monster(s). I really like this book and the art inside. I hope he does more as I'll buy it!

I can't believe these were all done on post its.

I'll admit it, I like somewhat creepy things. This book is fantastic. It is just a series of pictures that Mr. Mortensen has drawn. His art is fantastic. It has texture and depth but is still far enough from reality that his images look as though they are there own, but real world. The most amazing thing about them is he did them all on post it notes (hence the term Sticky Monsters). It's a great book to just flip through. My older son jokes they are nightmare fuel but he can't put it down.

Great Collection of Mortensen's Art

This is a great book of the art of John Kenn Mortensen. There is no story to it by words or pictures. This is simply a collection of drawings Mortensen did on sticky notes. His work and style are unique. He should be an illustrator as well as a TV producer. Is this book for children? It could be. It is more in line with the books by Edward Gorey - they appear to be for children, but are not actually intended for them.

what a great illustration book of monsters and creatures

what a great illustration book of monsters and creatures. they feel whimsical and i love the art style and the simplicity of the book

Good value

Wonderful illustrations I absolutely love this little book. He is such a talented artist

Great Artist, Great Book!

This is SUCH a great little book if you like art on the darker side

Sticky Monsters, Scary, Love It!

This is another artist who is brilliant at setting the tone of his work...

Neat, sweet, complete -- and yellow

This is just a cool little book of drawings of monsters done on yellow sticky notes in the artist's spare time. And they are wonderful monsters, popping up in the strangest places. The people in the pictures are oddly calm about having a monster within spitting distance, and that makes it even more fun. The author has a very nice style, more polished than Edward Gorey but with the same weird mood. I like the book a lot, and when I need a chuckle I read it again.

This is one of the most charming books I have ...

This is one of the most charming books I have every bought. I gave it as a gift to my wife, and she loves all of the drawings. We have both revisited it on multiple occasions, and each read brings welcome whimsy and imagination!

Unbelieveable!

This guy is the best! I have been following his blog forever and as soon as he made a collection available I bought it. I would love it if the book was the size of the sticky notes he draws on, that would really just push it over the top as far as awesome goes. John creates worlds.

Sad

I purchased this for a girl I had a crush on, and she doesn't talk to me anymore, so I guess it worked.

Gorey-tastic

This is a rad little book. I assume these are reproduced at the size that they were drawn, but I do wish the images were a bit larger.

Wonderful little book full of innocent ghoulish illustrations

Mortensen's monsters are innocent and curious. They have feelings, they are intrigued and concerned at times. It's a really cool and original book. The quality of the book is very good. No text, I don't even remember seeing a bio or an introduction... doesn't matter, more mysterious this way.

Great gift

Gave as a gift to my sister. She is a fan and loved it.

Five Stars

Absolutely beautiful. Great collection of work.

Three Stars

Very cool book, could use a bit more content.

I've loved his work for a while

This man is a genius. I've loved his work for a while, and I'm glad I have this little book to flip through whenever I need some inspiration!

Great bathroom book ;)

This is just one of those books you can flip through in a matter of minutes. JKM's pictures are creepy, cute, funny, and disturbing all at the same time! Also, the construction of the book itself is solid. Great hardback!

Love love love it

Good quality

Great book

but when it arrived I it didn't take me long to fall in love with Mortensen's style

This item was back ordered for months, but when it arrived it didn't take me long to fall in love with Mortensen's style. He truly has a gift and I wish he would continue this is a series. I'll buy whatever he puts out as long as it is as good as this one.

Fantastic

Great very beautiful

Amazing!

Amazing! Very Lovecraftian but with a Slavic flavor. This little book is a true treasure and a must have for any fans of weird/horror art. Hope he does more.

Really awesome

This book is a great end table book. Everyone who comes over and looks at it love it. Its got so many pictures and every one of them interesting. I love this artist and his style, worth every penny!

We love Mortensen's illustrations.

Good simple ideas, well executed

Top notch clever drawing albeit a bit repetitive. Got this so my kid who likes drawing could learn some tricks, and it was a good buy.

Awesome illustrations

My brother is a fan of Mortensen's Sticky Monster artwork, so I purchased this book as a Christmas gift. He hasn't seen it yet, but I know he'll love it. I'm not sure how it compares with what is available to be viewed online (so I'm not sure if there is anything new), but from what I can tell the artist doesn't sell any originals or prints, so if you know someone who is a fan, this is pretty much the only way you can get them a physical copy of the artwork. Overall, I'm pleased with the quality of the art as well as the construction of the book and I can't wait for my brother to see it!

... this as a present for my mom and she loved it.

two thumbs up

just as described, great gift for someone into this kind of art. arrived on time and in great condition.

Fun to flip through here and there

Fun to flip through here and there. As others have said, a few pages at a time is better than looking through the whole thing at once.

Fabulous sticky monsters

This is a fantastic, in all senses of the word, collection of wonderful monster doodles. Actually I reckon they are really illustrations of stories that we merely catch a glimpse of from a single image. Just a suggestion but it would be amazing to run a competitian to caption (or even story) each image, and the prize to have the caption (or story) included in a second edition of the book. That way everyone would buy a second copy as enrichment for the first. The first copy to be a marvellous stimulus for one's own imagination, and the second to marvel at everyone else's. Could do it via your (John Kenn Mortenson's) Facebook page.

What a cool, unusual little book

What a cool, unusual little book. I set mine out on the coffee table, and I always smile when I flip through it.

A good read, but a little on the small side.

Although this is a wonderful book that consists of only pictures (pictures that have given me GREAT ideas for my own works), it is much smaller than I thought it would be, denying me a chance to really look at the fine detail in this book. Aside from that small gripe, I still recommend you get this book if you like vexing pictures that you can carry around.

my daughter, 31, wanted this book

really cute book

Love this book

Shows what wonderful things can be achieved with the most basic of materials - sticky notes and a biro.

An under-rated illustrator

John Kenn Mortensen may not be the best known illustrator, and that is a crime. His drawing style is reminiscent of the late great Edward Gorey, and his subject matter is similarly dark, if not so morbid. The weird, creepy, monster-infested world the humans of Sticky Monsters inhabit is eerily serene and beautifully dark. And the monsters themselves? Well, every one is filled with character and personality, even if that personality consists of empty, blank-eyed wondering. Anybody interested in illustrative mark-making could learn a lot from the pages of this book, I certainly have, and will continue to do so for a long, long time to come.

excellent

Excellent

Five Stars

Very inspiring illustrations and a style that I really appreciate since Edward Gorey

The kind of book you keep forever

This book is high quality with no text at all, just a charming, beautiful and mysterious drawing on each page. The hardback is reasonably priced and worth having. I had purchased it for my 10 yr old god-daughter but to be honest, it's so gorgeous that I will be buying for adults (and myself) too. Reminiscent of 'Where the Wild Things Are' in terms of the images haunting you from childhood right through to the death bed. Wonderful.

For the adult who has everything - and I love it, too!

I bought this on a whim, not being familiar with Mortensen in the past. It is fantastically "ghoulish" and I intend to buy one or two of Mortensen's books for my two sons (who are both in their 40's) at Christmas. I love this book!

Lovely similar-to-Gorey but different!

reminiscent of Edward Gorey, but off on their own strange tangent. Wonderful... we enjoyed gently pacing our way through the book - so as not to rush to the end and run out of more!

Anybody who likes something a little different will love this

LOVE LOVE LOVE! Mortensen is talented and this is a brilliant book of his works. So great I then gave copies to my friends :-)

Seriously ace doodles!

Seriously ace doodles!

Monstrously good

What a gem of a book this is. Each page is exquisite. Entire, fabulous, gruesome worlds completely realised in the space of a post-it note. Mortensen;s monsters are extremely creepy, yet wonderfully benign. They are as natural a part of the landscape as the trees or rocks. Sometimes, in fact, they are the trees or rocks. But buyer beware! It will leave you wanting MORE.

Stickilly good

Lovely little book, wonderful illustrations thank you +++++

Really unusual and great for the downstairs toilet

If you haven't seen this book then get your hands on one as it is really unusual and thought-provoking. Basically, this Danish chap draws pictures of monsters on Post-Its. The detail has to be seen to be believed.

Good

Very good book

... drawings inside are indeed sticker-sized and the paper is good quality.

I admit I was expecting something bigger - not two-palm sized book - but the drawings inside are indeed sticker-sized and the paper is good quality.

Quirky

Quirky little drawings of quirky creatures. I wish I could draw like this. I love it.

Lovely horror

This artist draw monsters in post-it, like me when I'm talking with the phone... but it is really ART! Amazing monsters and ideas just with post-it and a pen.

I can't understand why his work isn't promoted more widely???!! Where can I buy prints? Wonderfully imaginative and skilfully drawn.

I love it.

Quirky as hell, I love it.

A little treasure

Five Stars

Awesome

Smaller than I realized but still worth the money.

The book is small, the original drawings were done on yellow sticky notes, hence the name 'sticky monsters'. These sticky note drawings are on blank white paper. There is a lot of blank space in this book. These are not problems just observations since you don't get a good look into the book before hand. I personally love this little creepy book and do not mind the blank space or size. If you are a fan of the artist or like creepy things then I highly recommend this little book which I see fitting into most purses or bags.

Primera edición inglesa

Primera edición inglesa de este maravilloso álbum del gran John Kenn Mortensen. Disfruto muchísimo viendo sus trabajos. En este primer álbum, contamos con unas 75 ilustraciones y una pequeñísima presentación manucrista, evidentemente, en un post-it. Buena calidad y presentación sencilla.

Monstrueux, merveilleux

Très proche du trait d'Edward Gorey, mixé de culture d’Europe du Nord, ces scènes de monstres reprennent systématiquement le même schéma : Un enfant (parfois un adulte) semble le regard calmement perdu vers l'horizon, ou s'affaire à une tâche ou un jeu, sereinement, comme plongé dans ses pensées. Autour de lui, sous lui, au dessus de lui, d'effrayant monstres sont à proximité, menaçants, prêt à le croquer, le terroriser, ils sont disproportionnés, les dents acérés, la bave dégoulinante, les griffes pointues, leurs bras noueux tendus vers l'innocente et future vicitime... et pourtant, ils sont aussi en arrêt, figés, comme surpris par un phénomène étonnant : l'enfant n'en a que faire de ses monstres, au pire il s'en amuse, ou les intègre à leur environnement au même titre qu'une chaise ou un arbre... ces scènes représentent-elle une allégorie ? Le jour où le monstre du placard n'effraie plus l'enfant que vous êtes, l'imagination demeure, la terreur a disparue. Poétique et indispensable.

¡Maravilloso!

Este libro es genial, soy fan de John Ken Mortensen y me encanta todo lo que ilustra, éste libro es solo una parte de su enorme colección de dibujos de monstruos, seres y demás personajes bizarros-spooky que plasmó en Post-it's, siguiendo legados al más puro estilo de Edward Gorey, Edward Lear y Maurice Sendak al ilustrar. Imprescindible si te gusta éste tipo de arte detalladamente macabro.

precioso

es un libro genial!!! diferente a todo y las ilustraciones me encantan sobre todo porque fue un regalo diferente y original

Tolles Buch

Super inspiration zum doodlen auf kleinen Zetteln. Mir gefällt das Buch sehr gut, es enthält viele Zeichnungen und ist schön kompakt. Klare Empfehlung!

bellissimo!

consiglio vivamente questo volume...i disegni sono davvero belli! ho scoperto l'autore per caso su internet e me ne sono innamorata, quindi ho deciso di comprare questo libro...adoro i mostri e adoro i suoi disegni!

Sehr schöne Zeichnungen

Die Zeichnungen sind wunderbar. Das Buch selber war aber voller Kleber, die ich nicht entfernen konnte.

Capolavoro noir

Pochi artisti sono unici come John Kenn Mortensen. Bizzarri, grotteschi e di surrealista ispirazione d memoria, i mostri contenuti in “Sticky Monsters” sono dei veri capolavori.

Genial

Genial. El libro es precioso, las ilustraciones son maravillosas y además llegó en el plazo previsto y en perfecto estado. Una compra genial que ha merecido la pena.

Muy recomendable

Le tenía muchas ganas a este libro y ha cumplido con todas mis expectativas. Si os gusta el arte del autor, os lo recomiendo al 100%.

Incríveis desenhos feitos em auto-adesivos "Post-It"

Quanto talento! Fica até difícil acreditar que todos os desenhos - extremamente detalhados - foram feitos em folhas de "Post-It". Apesar de ser um livro em tamanho reduzido, conseguimos apreciar a criatividade de John Kenn Mortensen.

Excelente

Excelente adquisicion burn material , bien impreso envio cuidadoso y en tiempo , sin duda una buena compra y volveriamos a comorar

Carino

Libro veramente piacevole. Le illustrazioni sono molto belle e abbastanza dark, per cui per gli amanti del genere è un must have. Si legge (anzii, guarda) in un'oretta.

💙

I didn't buy this for me but for my sister as a birthday gift, amd of courde I got to take a peek into it before handing it to her. It's amazing, the illustrations are beautiful. Now I hope someday I get my own copy for my birthday.

Muy bueno

Ya conocía las ilustraciones de el autor, me hubiese gustado comprar el compendio con todas las ilustraciones y de mayor tamaño, pero este libro esta muy bien, y a precio accesible

Genial!

El formato es apropiado, aunque sea pequeño. Las ilustraciones son geniales, de lo mejor que he visto en mucho tiempo (para mi gusto, claro).

small but cute book

Beautiful drawings, but it's a shame they're so tiny! I love the artwork, but this is a small book since they were sticky-note drawings. WOuld have liked them to be blown up a little.

Toll

Einfach ein tolles Buch! Ich kannte zwar alles schon von Mortensens Blog, aber trotzdem ist das Buch eine Anschaffung wert. Auf Papier sieht das alles nochmal grusliger und schöner aus.

Amazing depth of feeling and character using the most basic of art supplies

If you enjoy the slightly macabre or creepy you will enjoy flipping through this wonderful compilation of Mortensen's works. The strange juxtaposition of innocent looking children aloof of seriously sinister-looking creatures leaves one with a quickened pulse and vivid images left in one's mind. This collection of artwork is somewhere between that of Where the Wild Things Are and a Tim Burton creation. I often have to remind myself that such works were done with the simplest of supplies: post-it notes and a pen. I feel that the only thing that would have made it better would be if the images could have been enlarged somehow. That being said, the scale of the images is likely true to life of the original post-it sizes works. A truly original and interesting collection of works.

Muy buen libro ilustrado

Este libro lo habìa estado esperando desde hace tiempo para comprarlo Es solo un libro de ilustraciones de jhon kenn mortensen, si estas familiarizado con su trabajo o te gustan los dibujos de mounstros estilo creepy. este libro es 100% recomendado para ti. Llegò rapido y en buenas condiciones

Meraviglioso.

Uno dei miei illustratori preferiti, libro meraviglioso. Contiene moltissimi Artwork di amici/nemico un po' inquietanti ma di compagnia. Consigliatissimo per gli amanti del genere. Il pacco è arrivato perfettamente.

Schön schaurig

Hab das Buch einer Freundin geschenkt, die Morbides sehr zu schätzen weiß. Sie hat sich sehr gefreut und wir hatten viel Spaß beim durchblättern. Dass der Autor hauptberuflich eigentlich völlig harmlose Kinderserien produziert und die Zeichnungen als Hobby nebenher zeichnet, macht das Buch sogar noch besser. ;)

Solo posits

Pequeño y cumplidor

Fantástico

Preciosas ilustraciones

Excelente

Produto excelente. Acamento de capa dura e a reprodução das imagens são de qualidade. Entrega super rápido, entregou até antes do prazo estipulado. Vale a pena.

Ottimo prodotto

Amazing book

John es uno de mis ilustradores favoritos. El libro está muy bien hecho y con materiales durables. Sin duda una gran compra si gustan de este tipo de ilustraciones.

Beautiful book

Everything I ever wanted. Beautiful book. Arrived quickly.

Bello

Me encantó este libro, es muy pequeño y corto, pero lo necesitaba en mi colección

Sticky Monsters

Einfach nur wunderschöne kleine Illustrationen die offensichtlich mit viel Liebe und Fantasie gezeichnet worden. Absolut topp und auch ohne Story dahinter zu genießen.

Imprescindible

Es un libro fantástico, con una edición preciosa que mantiene el formato de los Post-It donde dibujó su autor. Absolutamente recomendable

¡Genial!

Genial serie de ilustraciones en post-its. Macabro y bonito a partes iguales. Una gran compra que no deja indiferente a nadie.

Ilustraciones geniales

Ha llegado rápido y en buen estado, el libro es simplemente genial!

Muy original

Es muy chulo de ver, me encantan los dibujos que son muy originales. Si te gusta este tipo de ilustraciones, está bien

Espelusnante! Love it!

Me encantó, buenísimas las ilustraciones y libro en perfecto estado!

Five Stars

i love this book. well worth it.

Chulisimo

El libro es pequeño pero muy bonito. Son solo ilustraciones sin texto, pero a los fans frikis de las ilustraciones o el terror (como yo xD) les va a encantar!

tattoo worthy

cool art.

Interesante y original

El libro ha cumplido mis expectativas. Diría que se trata de una publicación original y especial. Gran dibujante el autor. Supone un bonito objeto. Lo recomiendo.

bellissimo

Un piccolo capolavoro, un po' costoso, forse, ma spettacolare. Speriamo che vengano pubblicati anche i prossimi volumi, l'autore ne ha fatti molti.

Scary Monsters...

Wunderschön gruselige, stimmungsvolle Bilder aus der Welt der Trolle und Waldgeister. Man erkennt deutlich, das der Künstler John Kenn Mortensen aus Dänemark stammt. Das ideale Geschenk für den Gruselfreund oder die Gruselfreundin....

Geniale!

Stupendo e geniale a dire poco!

Muito bom

Muito lindo! Adorei

Bel libro, edizione pessima

Illustrazioni bellissime ed originali, ma l'impaginazione del libro mi ha lasciata perplessa. Le illustrazioni hanno una disposizione confusa, e per questo risultano poco valorizzate.

Pequeña joya de arte de horror

Preciosas ilustraciones de monstruos editadas en un librito espectacular, totalmente imprescindible para amantes de Gorey. ójala se edite pronto una segunda parte

Génial !

Super ouvrage de John Kenn Mortensen. SI vous aimez son univers vous retrouverez tous ces célèbres post it. Le livre parait petit mais en réalité c'est une mine d'or, beaucoup de pages remplies de superbes illustrations. très heureuse de mon achat.
