# Mega Monster Parties Matt Furie Creates Deranged, But Brilliantly Vibrant, Art Work By Tisah Tucknott | Published 2009-07-30 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/matt-furie-art References: [worldfamousdesignjunkies](http://worldfamousdesignjunkies.com/color/furiously-under-the-influence/) & [mattfurie](http://www.mattfurie.com/) Matt Furie is an artist who seems to be infatuated with the [monster world](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/topps-chrome-labubu). From illustration to illustration, Matt Furie has a reoccurring theme of a variety of beasts. The artist is so in love with [unrealistic creatures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/monsters-one-piece) that he has even dressed up as one and surrounded himself with hundreds of stuffed animals (don’t worry, the photo can be seen in the gallery above). I think I should donate *my* stuffed animals to Matt Furie. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.7/10 - Popularity: 32% | Activity: 10% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Monster-inspired Artwork:** Opportunities for artists to explore fantastical and deranged creatures in their work. - **Stuffed Animal Craze:** Increasing demand for stuffed animals and novelty plush toys, particularly those depicting monsters and mythical beasts. - **Immersive Fan Experiences:** Creating interactive and playful events where fans can dress up and surround themselves with their favorite fictional creatures and characters. ### Where This Applies - **Art and Design:** The art industry has an opportunity to embrace fantastical creatures as a popular subject matter, appealing to a broad range of audiences. - **Toy Manufacturing:** The toy industry can tap into the demand for monster-inspired toys and stuffed animals, especially as collectibles or limited edition releases. - **Event Planning:** Creating immersive fan events centered around monster and creature themes presents opportunities for event planners to create memorable, interactive experiences for attendees. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Adorable Monster-Inspired Graphic Tees](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-monsters.md) - [Hand-Drawn Cartoon NFTs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/madsteez.md) - [Plush Monster Collectibles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/labubu.md) - [Playful Character Graphic Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/monsters-collection.md) - [Designer Toy Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/monsters-by-monsters-now-and-then.md) - [Creature-Inspired Home Good Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/charles-jeffreys-loverboy.md) - [Imaginative Soft Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blabla.md) - [Playful Modern Art Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brent-estabrook-debuts-storytime.md) - [Plushie-Inspired Art Events](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brent-estabrook-smiles.md)
