Overview
We’re thrilled to invite you to participate in the creation of the Baby One-Eyed Monster Art Car! The idea of a little (not so little) guy was born from the triumph of the original One-Eyed Monster Art Car. He is a creature that brought joy and happiness to many citizens of The Black Rock City at Burning Man 2014 and 2016.

What is the One-Eyed Monster?

The One Eyed Monster is a unique 30-foot tall art car that looks like a freestanding sculpture. Every year he changes his look to fit the theme of the event. 

Our dream for many years has been to create another, smaller art car that could carry additional people since the One-Eyed Monster can only hold eight people at a time. The Baby One Eyed Monster will take another 12 people and will follow along behind the OEM. Perhaps one day we'll have an entire brood of baby monsters!

We want to bring people together and bring more fun and more joy to the community. It's what it's all about.  If you feel the same way, we hope you'll support us in making this project a reality. 

Who is behind this project?

Stone Larkin is our lead fabricator and designer of this project as well as the creator of original One-Eyed Monster. Throughout the years he has been involved with various Burning Man art creations including Tiki Island, The Blind Mistress Art Car and the Zipline Tower and other various art projects at regional festivals. 2017 will be his 6th year attending Burning Man.

Where will my money go?

We already broke the ground on the Baby Monster and purchased an old trailer that Stone opened. The project is well underway, and many people have been willing to volunteer their time to help us on the building grounds near LA.

However, funding is essential since we have to obtain the necessary materials to finish The Baby. This is a list of what needs to be purchased:

Total  cost of materials: $12,000

  • Steel Metal Chase          $1,200
  • Steel Metal Body            $2,700
  • Aluminum Neck             $1,100
  • Aluminum Eye                $2,000
  • Wood for Benches          $800
  • Hardware/Linkage         $300
  • Tires/Rims                        $400
  • Decoration/Suit              $1,200
  •  Lighting                             $1,500

Additional Expenses:

  • Indiegogo fees (estimated)             $1,500
  • Reward production (estimated)    $2,000

TOTAL  :  $15,000 

The estimated cost of the entire project is higher than our first mark. Any amount over our goal will allow us to put more money into the baby monster and focus on building him even better.

If we hit the initial goal here are our STRETCH GOALS!

$20,000 - We’ll give baby monster his own engine! 
$22,000 - We’ll add a sound system!

It takes a village to raise a child! You can contribute in so many ways, and every effort will make a change. 

Here is what else you can do:

  • Share our campaign on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, or email your friends!
  • Follow One Eyed Monster on Facebook, Instagram and watch out for fundraising parties.
  • If you’re an LA local, help us build and participate in our work campout weekends.
  • Wanna help out on Playa? We’ll need help with construction too.

Don’t hesitate, give us a shout, if you want to take part and not sure how.

​​​Risks and Challenges:

Building an art car is not a small project, but after building much larger vehicles over the years, our team is focused and understand that failure is not an option. We will do whatever it takes to make this another successful project. 

Since the project majorly depends on the fundraising to purchase the materials, we need your help to close this gap and make it happen! In this way, you can literally participate in the art creation and be a part of our crew. 

Thank You!!!
