The Monster Veggies Collection By Paul Myrick
Frightening and silly creatures.
They’ve crawled out of the crisper drawer and they’re mad as hell about being steamed, boiled, roasted, or mashed.
Meet The Monster Veggies — a hilariously unholy garden of watercolor creatures with attitude to spare.
Each painting in this series by Paul Myrick reimagines everyday vegetables as moody, mischievous monsters — half farmer’s market, half creature feature.
Forget eating your veggies — you might want to run from them first.
Monster Eggplant
“The nightshade nightmare.”
With six arms and a violet temper, Monster Eggplant is one bad aubergine. He’s purple, powerful, and perfectly prepared to haunt your next ratatouille.
Monster Potato
“Mash at your own risk.”
All eyes are on him — literally. Monster Potato’s lumpy stare will follow you across the kitchen. He’s proof that carbs can be horrifyingly complex.
Monster Tomato
“Attack of the Killer Tomato’s cousin.”
Monster Tomato rolls in like a red menace with fists clenched and seeds of fury. Ripe, round, and ready for revenge on the blender that wronged him.
Monster Cucumber
“Cool as a corpse.”
Monster Cucumber slithers his way from the salad bowl with slick moves and sinister intent. He’s chill — dangerously chill.
Monster Beet
“Beet it… before it bites.”
Monster Beet’s got a blood-red face and teeth to match. Don’t be fooled by his earthy charm — he’s all bite, no beetitude.
Monster Carrot
“Orange you terrified?”
Monster Carrot stands tall, tough, and totally unpeeled. This root is ruthless, and he’s not here for your salad — he’s here for revenge.
Monster Broccoli
“The stalk that balked.”
Monster Broccoli’s tired of being the side dish. With his muscular florets and permanent scowl, he’s ready to stalk the plate — and anyone who refuses to eat their greens.
Monster Corn
“Fear the ear.”
Once sweet, now sinister — Monster Corn bursts from the husk with fiery hair and a menacing grin. He’s got kernels of rage and butter wouldn’t melt in his mouth (because it would scream first).
