Uncle Monroe Framed Art

UNCLE MONROE - Framed Art

Concept: UNCLE MONROE is your long-lost Uncle, Display him at Halloween or year-round as a conversation piece. The piece began with an interesting thrifted frame.  then evolved as I rediscovered vintage photos in my Drawer of Dreams. The final spark came from an old flip cell phone you had previously deconstructed—its relic becoming Monroe’s physical artifact.

A strange, charming, unsettling heirloom, UNCLE MONROE invites collectors to display their horror heritage proudly.
