Stefan Bucher and his monsters return to The Reflex Blue Show. Last being on the show when he was in Omaha back in 2018, well, it’s been a while. But we start by going way back to The Reflex Blue Show episode 2, when his 100 Days of Monsters book had just been released. All these years later? Well, the monsters have never really left, and are now celebrating 20 years with a completed A Revelation of Monsters book that launched on Kickstarter.
We talk about over 1,200 monsters and counting of course, his Skillshare on book design (which leads to how it also covers pricing, which could be a 12 hour Skillshare on its own), how having some savings allows you to say no (and how much of a difference that makes in your career), what 344 is up to now, and more.

Brayan Montes-Terrazas was part of the inspiration track at the 2024 HOW Design Live Conference in Denver, Colorado. Going under his art name of YAMZ World of Color, his work truly is an inspiration. We talk about how choosing yourself in your creative work can only be good, the path to becoming a full-time illustrator, merch, and more.
Enjoy.
Once again, thanks to the team at HOW on a great conference. This is the last of our recordings from the 2024 event, and for those that missed any, we had three daily recaps:
As well as eight interviews (which includes this one):
This was my thirteenth HOW Conference (the first being the 2009 event in Austin, Texas), and I cannot say how much of an impact it has had on me – the friends and memories I have made over the years at this wonderful event, the numerous speakers I have had the opportunity to podcast with, the events that surround the conference, and so much more. This month, they posted on their website, “We have made the difficult decision to postpone HOW Design LIVE, including the 2025 event. While we recognize this may cause inconvenience, this decision enables us to better align with the evolving industry landscape and focus on creating an even more impactful and valuable experience for our community in the future. Thank you for supporting HOW Design Live and its community over the past 35 years.” I do hope to see this event again, but I also know that the community that it created will remain for a long time.
