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.
