ABOUT THE ARTIST

Misty Benson loves all things sweetly spooky, spitefully cute, and most of all, morbidly adorable! She has a penchant for shiny things and stuffed animals that frown much like her newest creation – the Morbidly Adorable Octo-MUNNY! With one tentacled arm she adds pretty coral to her hair while she clutches her beloved one-eyed bear with the other! Remember, here at Morbidly Adorable creations, life leaves us feeling a little haunted but always enchanted. This is a place where beauty borders on strange and the strange is beautiful. Take my hand. Come in and play. Just make sure you leave all rational thoughts at the door.

This Morbidly Adorable Munny likes to play dress up and keeps her toys in a coffin. With a death ray, a bolt of lightning and a can of Skelly Soup, she has all the necessary items to take over the world! I’m sure this dark little dearie won’t mind if you add to her macabre collection!
