Cyclops and witches and zombies-oh my! 

Welcome to the wondrous world of Beasties, where mythic and imaginary creatures come alive using simple materials, such as scrap fabric and thread. From Werewolves to Yetis to unidentifiable yet adorable beasts, these projects allow crafters to push the limits of their imaginations to sew a menagerie of whimsical beings.

Rollingstone review

Diana Schoenbrun and Andy Cahill's video for singer-songwriter Kevin Devine’s "Off-Screen" follows a one-eyed ginger puppet as he struggles to cross a barren desert landscape full of mirages and hungry vultures. Everything about the concept seems strange – wrong, even – but it works. "The 'Off-Screen' video came together in my mind when I first saw Diana Schoenbrun's Beasties exhibit at a cafe near my apartment in Brooklyn," Devine tells Rolling Stone. "I imagined something kind of hand-spun, analog, hallucinogenic, a creeping stop-motion sort of aesthetic." It may seem more creepy than creeping, but the result is a clip that’s both unique and enthralling.
