Speaker bio

Stefan G. Bucher is the man behind 344 Design and the online drawing and storytelling experiment dailymonster.com. His monsters have invaded computer screens all over the world and their savage adolescence is chronicled in the book 100 Days of Monsters. He is also the author of All Access: The Making of Thirty Extraordinary Graphic Designers and The Graphic Eye: Photographs by International Graphic Designers. He has created gratuitously ambitious designs for Sting, David Hockney and The New York Times. His time-lapse drawings currently appear on the rebooted TV classic The Electric Company on PBS, and he is, as always, working late into the night preparing the next phase of the 344 invasion.
