AndyMonsters

Andy Yan has created a monster! Actually, he’s created several monsters. Originally he had only planned on putting his adorable animated ogres to work for himself, as a way to ask a girl he liked to the prom. Instead, he founded a clothing company and a much greater purpose for his AndyMonsters. Using the images of his tenacious teddy bears for a cause even more noble than a date, Mr. Yan has teamed up to raise money for some very deserving charities. One hundred percent of the proceeds from his “Smile” shirts will go to Smile Train, a charity that raises money for surgery for children with clef palates. Meanwhile, all of the proceeds from his “Wishing You Well” design benefit The Water Project, an organization that build wells for clean drinking water in third world countries. It turns out AndyMonsters might not be such monsters after all.
