Hi everyone, my name is Shandy Murethy (but feel free to call me Murethy). As a father and a former in-house creative designer for media and travel companies, one of my creative outlets that I still keep up with is drawing. Two things that have caught my interest so far are editorial illustration and character design, and lately, I’ve been really into drawing with my 6-year-old child.

LABALABOKS

This six-legged cardboard box has a firm and sarcastic personality but is actually soft-hearted and great at reading situations. No wonder it's always the go-to for its friends when it comes to surviving and handling life’s challenges. A fan of reading literature and an expert at prepping and building useful tools, especially in a pinch, it’s also a skilled product reviewer who’s pretty well-respected among vloggers.

WAKER HEAD 13

Except for night shift workers, get ready to be smacked by Waker Head 13 if you often sleep in. This wacky-looking alarm clock loves jokes and pranks, even though it often "disappears" (unfortunately, it’s the type that runs out of battery quickly). Despite that, it’s surprisingly effective and efficient in helping out and even loves to cook (and it’s good at it too!).

ANAK BAWANG

This living onion creature might seem clumsy and unreliable, but its sincerity makes it surprisingly tough when it comes to survival. Rumor has it, its left eye can see things most people can't. Parts of its body can even be used for healing, just like the benefits of garlic.

NGUK

Legend has it that it rose from the curses of forest dwellers against illegal loggers who cut down a sacred tree. A mix of tree trunk and leftover tools from the loggers turned it into a hybrid creature that can adapt to become a shelter, power source, planting ground, workshop, or whatever the people it trusts need for a good cause. It's still unclear why it always keeps its eyes closed, as if it's decided that living without seeing the physical world is enough—whether this is a sign of trust or the opposite remains a mystery.

GRUMPCKEY MOUSE

MOTANOME

Introducing a complete solution: a robot entity that can fight, has a strong sense of humanity, and can provide all kinds of products modern-day, consumer-driven humans want need. Please welcome, Motanome!

PARAPAPPAW

A creature that adapts to its surroundings but doesn't want to be compared to a chameleon is quite a mystery. Maybe that’s why it always sticks out its tongue, as if it’s trying to express something implicitly.

YOUNTAIN

Rock climbing, wall climbing, social climbing, career climbing—whatever you're climbing, think of it like a mountain you need to conquer. Just remember, that "mountain" is actually yourself, ‘YOUntain’.

FUNDAMENTAL WITH JULIO

It’s tough at first, but actually important and fun when you look back on it later. Fundamentals are always hard to get into at the start, but Julio always remembers—there’s “FUN” hidden in the word “Fundamental,” and it can turn into something enjoyable to build on.

REFILL WARM SWEET TEA WITH JULIO

One day, Julio managed to build a flying hybrid vehicle powered by warm sweet tea, inspired by his memories of how, in Indonesia, no matter the situation—whether someone faints, gets possessed, is exhausted, or rescued from an accident—they're always given warm sweet tea for some reason.
