Gil Merritt
The Gil-Monster learned to build pipe cleaner monsters after a pack of toy dinosaurs he received at age 4 failed to contain a Tyrannosaurus Rex. Forty-five years later, it's safe to say he's not too shabby at it. He is also an Illustration graduate of RIT, a return guest at the Strong National Museum of Play, and- having written and created AMPUTHEATRE, an action figure-based tabletop board game- a patented inventor. He sells his work both online and at shows and conventions with his love, fellow artist Sondra Gjersoe of Misere Love's Co. Gil says we should care for our planet so it looks presentable for its inevitable conquest by spiders.
