Monsters Should Have Hobbies


Joe Fuqua made clever use of classic movie monsters for a series of Midjourney images called "Monsters Should Have Hobbies."  Here are my favorite images of the group. 




Fuqua has come up with many creative and entertaining ideas in the last couple of years.  His other series include "When Supes Retire, "Museum of Unnatural Evolution," "Odd Neighbors" and "Astronauts and Dinosaurs."

I wanted to see if I could add a few images to the "Monsters Should Have Hobbies" series.  

King Kong takes up rock climbing as a therapeutic hobby.  With his immense strength and love for heights, he finds joy in scaling massive cliffs in his free time. 



The Invisible Man finds relaxation in street photography.  With his ability to blend in, he can capture candid moments without being seen.




The Creature from the Black Lagoon spends his spare time engaged in Aquascaping.  He creates intricate underwater landscapes with exotic plants and fish. 


Frankenstein's Monster loves gardening. He has the gentle touch needed to nurturing plants, carefully tending a rich and abundant garden full of vibrant flowers. It's truly therapeutic for him.  














Dracula, who appreciates the finer things in life (and death), derives great pleasure from wine tasting.  He samples rare wines from around the world, especially those with rich, dark flavors reminiscent of his normal rich, dark diet.  



Freddy Krueger is excellent at knitting. It's not surprising given his love for working with sharp objects. He calmly crafts cozy sweaters with intricate patterns — though these patterns sometimes have an eerie vibe to them.   






The Wolf Man has collected an array of fancy brushes and combs. 



The Blob has a flair for creating art out of Jello. 


The Martians of War of the Worlds (1953) enjoy conquest board games like Risk. 


The Fly of The Fly (1958) is a butterfly collector.  



Pinhead of Hellraiser (1987) is a tattoo artist. 





Samara of The Ring (2002), who has an affinity for wells, has come to enjoy deep-water diving. 







Minotaur of Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger (1977) lifts weights at the gym.  





Cyclops of The 7th Voyage of Sinbad (1958) is a gourmet cook in his spare time.  Unfortunately, I was unable to convince Midjourney that Cyclops has one eye. 


Let me close with new Frankenstein monster portraits that I have found on Midjourney.

I created these images on my own.






I hope that you enjoyed these images.  Have a good day!
