# Monstrous Post-It Drawings John Kenn Creates Miniature Monsters on Yellow Post-It Notes By Anne Booth | Published 2013-09-30 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/john-kenn References: [visualnews](http://www.visualnews.com/2011/07/16/frightening-monsters-drawn-on-post-it-notes/) & [johnkenn.blogspot](http://johnkenn.blogspot.ca/) Benjamin Starr finds artist John Kenn who loves to doodle and create monsters on [post-it notes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sticky). All of the images are on the small office sticky paper, which makes the drawings more interesting and creative. With intricate trees and monsters displayed on every note, these [sticky notes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/m-note) are not to be tossed in the garbage. With such a small space to create such elaborate pieces, Kenn has to make sure that every pen stroke counts. He does this by building up very fine lines in order to create fur, water or any other design within his drawings. The artist also direct’s childrens shows where child-like elements are seen within every individual sketch. John Kenn even has a blog where he shows off his latest Post-it masterpieces. The [monster doodles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-monsters) are spectacular and show just how much you can create with such a small area. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.1/10 - Popularity: 44% | Activity: 10% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Miniature Doodling:** Opportunity for more compact, intricate art in small formats such as post-it notes. - **Fine-line Illustration:** Opportunity for creating detailed designs despite limited space, such as by building up fine lines. - **Child-like Elements:** Opportunity to bring child-like elements into creative works, especially in children's entertainment and media. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Office Supplies:** Opportunity to market art supplies and other office products that can facilitate compact, intricate doodling. - **Illustration:** Opportunity for illustrators to experiment with new techniques for creating detailed designs in small formats. - **Children's Entertainment:** Opportunity to incorporate child-like drawn elements into children's entertainment and media for playful and imaginative engagement. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Art Doodle-Collaborative Napkins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tissue-box-collection.md) - [Sticky Notes Holder Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/postit-note-holder.md) - [Stunning Origami Portraits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/origami-portaits.md) - [Digital Sticky Note Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/digital-sticky-notes.md) - [Digitized Sticky Note Projectors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/memojector.md) - [Convenient Checklist Pads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/checklist-sticky-roll.md) - [Imaginative Pared-Back Art Supplies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/woset.md) - [Makeup-Inspired Sticker Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coffrey.md) - [Sticky Note Printers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nemonic-gen-2.md)
