Feed the Monster according to its readers:
“Your honesty is refreshing and heart wrenching at the same time” – G. J.
“Insightful and darkly humorous” – L.L.

“Interesting thoughts expressed with humour and candor” – J. L.

"I used to have artist friends who'd send me wonderful letters in the mail, including bits and pieces of art. I can't remember the last time that happened though, which is one of the reasons I'm super digging B.A. Lampman's monthly email missive, Feed the Monster. It feels like those letters used to feel. She makes me laugh, and think, and feel like I just got a little special prezzie." – J. M.
“This made me cry. Your honesty and perspective is courageous. And you inspire me. So there.” – D. S.
“Inspirational and touching” – L.L.
Feed the Monster is a once-monthly missive from my studio, where I share what's on the slab—whether painting, collage, journaling, or one of my other obsessions. It’s where I show you what I’m working on, things I’m thinking about, gaffes I have performed, and personal artifacts of interest. I aim to inspire, entertain, and give you permission to be your unruly, creative self by endeavoring to do the same.
