We were lucky enough to snag an interview with one of our break out stars over at 6x6, Kenneth Kudulis. His work is mixed with found objects, photography, paint and the cutest critters!

CW: Where do these monsters come from? Do you have a creature muse? Inspiration?
KK: These little guys are inspired from the many people I see and meet in and around NYC. I pull inspiration from my many trips to the American Museum of Natural History. You could say my muse is the Flaming Lips. I'm always working in my studio with them playing in the background.

CW: What is your process in making the pieces you've submitted to Six by Six?
KK: I go around city and photograph places I think my critters would like to live. After mounting my photo onto canvas, I hand paint each critter into their new home.
CW: Do you have any pets? What are their names?
KK: I don't have any pets, but I do have a whole shelf in my house dedicated to toy animals that keep me company! My favorites are two plush squirrels named Rupert and Bubonic Bob, and the latest addition, a ceramic owl named Ned.
