Adopt a Monster

Every landscape has somebody hiding in it.

Joe shoots Oregon. Kendra finds the monsters in it. She paints them into his photographs, one monster per print, and each one is looking for a home.

How it works

  1. 1

    Pick a monster

    Every monster lives in one print. Meet them below.

  2. 2

    We get it printed

    Gango prints it in Portland on cotton fine art paper and ships it straight to your door.

  3. 3

    Your monster writes home

    About once a month you'll get an email from your monster about what it's been up to. Only its adopters hear from it.

Meet the monsters

No. 1

Herman

Behind Haystack Rock, Cannon Beach

Big, orange, fuzzy and very shy. He wants to make some friends, and he wants to figure out how a surfboard works. He's working on both.

Questions

What do adopters get?
A print of your monster in its landscape, made to order in Portland, plus a monthly email from your monster. Only that monster's adopters hear from it.
Is the monster really in the photo?
No. The landscape is Joe's photograph, and the monster is Kendra's painting, added afterward. Every monster print is labeled as a monster edition.
Can I get the photo without the monster?
Yes. Every monster print has a plain version on the trip too.
Can I stop the emails?
Yes. Every email has an unsubscribe link. Your monster will understand. Eventually.
Can I request a monster?
Not yet, but tell us what you'd want to see.
