Cecil Is On the Move

Chloe and Sophie are in Boston and they took Cecil along with them to see the sights.

Sometimes Cecil wants to go where everybody knows his name:

I have to say I'm a bit jealous.  I've never been to Boston.  Someday I will have to see more of this great big country.

A huge thanks to Chloe and Sophie for the update.

Lost Monster #3 - Cecil

I decided to take another Lost Monster with me to Chautauqua last week while I was there for the Highlights Foundation Writer's Workshop.  I decided to call him Cecil.

And then I picked out a hiding spot in the square at Chautauqua.

Two days later I got this great email:


Hi Will my name is Chloe and I have found your monster. I live in Dallas, TX and I am 10 years old.  My sister's name is Sophie and the sign that said take me home is her monster!  Sophie is 6. After the summer we are going to tour the Nation in a RV for a year and my sister and I will be home schooled. Every place that we go I am going to take pictures of Cecil and I.

               Thank you for doing this !!

These kids are awesome.  And I'm kind of jealous of their upcoming tour of the country.  It sounds like Cecil couldn't have ended up with a better home.

Lost Monster - Go Find Vinny

It took a while (due to wet weather) but I sent Vinny out into the world all alone.  Somebody please go find him and take him home.

He's hanging out in a park up on the eastern hillside of Provo, Ut.  If you live locally he could be all yours.

Lost Monster #2 - Vinny

I made another one.

Now I just need to find someplace to hide him.

Lost Monster - Moe Finds a Home

Hooray!  Moe isn't homeless any longer.  He was found by local artist J. Kirk Richards (who incidentally happens to be a friend of mine.)  Kirk tracked down Moe the monster and gave it to his son, Bryan.  Awesome.

Then he blogged about it.  Thanks Kirk, you rock.  You rock too, Bryan.

What do you folks think, should I do this again?

Lost Monster Experiment - MOE *UPDATE*

Yesterday I sent Moe out into the world.  All by himself.  I hope someone takes him home.

If you live locally in Provo, Utah then you can find Moe behind one of the cool, old buildings on Center Street.  See you later Moe, I hope.

*UPDATE* I went by to check on Moe today.  He's still there.  If nobody picks him up in a couple of weeks then I'll move him to a more noticeable spot.

Lost Monster #1 - The Experiment

A few days back I was inspired by this cool post on this great blog.  And I wanted to do something similar.  So I made this guy:

Now I need to find a good place to hide him.  I really hope he finds a good home and I get the picture back.  If this works then I want to do it again.  (And yes, that is my foot.)

Thanks for the inspiration Isaac, Gracie, Lily, Elijah and Aaron Zenz.  You folks rock (get it?)
