Today at Monster Plus we have a special holiday guest pin-up by my dear friend Danielle Payne! With Mona 88 and Kid Dracula! I was so excited when Dani said she wanted to do some art for us; she has such a distinctive, adorable cartoon style and I just want her to draw things all day long that I can look at...! <3
