Hey. I'm Dre.

Thanks for stopping by

I'm a screen-based graphic designer by day and hands-on linocut carver by nite. I also voluntarily co-run a free after-school art programme for local children as well as teach an evening pure-beginner drawing class for adults. (I also host creative-evening events and developed + run our local primary school's Yearbook Club.) One could 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 give a sh*t 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 nature is f*cking awesome and beautiful and I care for it).

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