Fiercely creative. John visits thrift stores and allow a single piece of clothing to inspire a monster. My favorite one was the use of cargo pants, taking advantage of the pockets and zippers. Beautiful instructions make these complex creatures doable. A great way to save a piece of clothing you can't wear anymore but feel nostalgic about. (
