about

WillTom Eykemans and Gwynne Siak are Monocol; a collaborative duo originally hailing from opposite coasts, joining forces in a Ballard laboratory to paint, sew, and screenprint.

Tom has never seen a lightning bug, is terrified of getting cauliflower-ear, and enjoys painting sloths while eating his porridge.

Gwynne prefers savory over sweet snacks, is genuinely afraid of the pygmy marmoset, and draws tiny pictures of her weekend adventures on Post-It notes.

PhilTogether they are thrifting, snacking, and collaborating with cohort Chris Smith to champion toast for all and bedtime for none.

In between projects we also enjoy equal amounts of hijinks and thrifting, chocolate milk and cakes, video games and dance parties, bike riding and record listening, but mostly laying on couches thinking about animals and the types of donuts they eat.

If you are a seabeast, please email us immediately. If you are not a seabeast, but are interested in collaborating, commissioning, buying something, or having a snack with Monocol please e-mail Tom or Gwynne post-haste as well. It would still be awesome if you were a seabeast, though.
