The monster
does the work.

Telly Monster Myco started from a plain observation: almost everything sold to beginners in this hobby is a partly finished job with the difficult part still attached. We wanted to sell the finished job instead.

Why one product

A long list is usually somebody else's indecision.

Ten options on a shelf means ten things to compare, ten descriptions to read and nine chances to pick the wrong one. We make one bag, we make it the same way every time, and we put the whole of our attention into that.

If we ever add a second product it will be because it does something the first one genuinely cannot, not because the shop page looked empty.

The mark

Where the monster came from.

The seal is our own artwork and it turns up on everything we make — the label on the bag, the box, this site. The creature in the middle is the part of the process that used to be yours. We drew it standing in the mess so you do not have to.

Everything on this page is drawn from that one piece: the violets, the gold and the drip down the bottom of every section.
