Once I checked out his ETSY store with my wife we loved so much of what he's created we had to agree to buy a piece that represented both of us and the one we decided on was "Zahhh".
When Zahhh arrived my wife had seen it first after shen unpacked it she absolutely loved it, and when I saw it my jaw just about hit the floor because it looks amazing and is a monster size slice of pizza!
After I contacted Travis to thank him for doing such an incredible job I asked him to type a little about himself for his showcase.

I make the MONSTERS that make YOU smile... www.etsy.com/shop/travismullinsart www.facebook/travismullinsart My name is Travis Grant Mullins. I am based in Warsaw, Indiana. I'm inspired by everything and everyone around me. I see everyday objects and think of how to turn them into monsters.
My first monster, in this series, was a commissioned piece. It was a killer tomato for a local tomato festival. I like to use any everyday object, sculpt jaws with teeth and a tongue, and then figure out a way to incorporate the two together to create something both fun and terrifying.
Monsters are something that I find to be a great subject because of the seemingly endless ways to create them. That, and I love creating something that is interesting to look at, that is fun, disturbing, and original. The art form I prefer to use in creating monsters is sculpture. I like the 3D form because of the many ways to examine the artwork. I enjoy the physicality of sculpture. It is something you can touch and hold as well as view from afar.
