Hey. I'm Dre.

Thanks for stopping by!

Professionally, I'm a screen-based graphic designer by day and hands-on linocut carver by nite. I am also a volunteer, running + co-running free in-school and after-school art programmes for local children. And finally, I am a local art instructor, teaching pure-beginner drawing courses to adults across the Scottish Highlands, and host to creative evening events. One could fairly say that promoting and encouraging creativity -as well as exercising my own- is a big part of my life.

Monkey and The Giant is my storefront from where I sell not only useful, but also durable, long-lasting, and quality products to people who value about this kind of thing. I don't subscribe to business models that look to exponentially grow at all costs... I just want to sell a few items that are friendly to our extraordinary planet {items that I can be proud of} and hopefully make a simple living from it along the way.

All products within my collection (including packaging) are sustainably made and can either be recycled, reused, or composted (because... you guessed it... I love our planet).

I also do commissioned work so drop me a line if you have something in mind and would like to link up.
