Live, Believe & Dream! See You There!
Loch Ness Monster is a cryptid, whose existence has been suggested but is not discovered or documented by the scientific community. It is reputedly a large unknown animal that inhabits Loch Ness in the Scottish Highlands. Popular interest and belief in the animal's existence has varied since it was first brought to the world's attention in 1933. Evidence of its existence is anecdotal, with minimal and much-disputed photographic material and sonar readings. The legendary monster has been affectionately referred to by the nickname Nessie since the 1940s. The most common speculation among believers is that the creature represents a line of long-surviving plesiosaurs and while the scientific community regards the Loch Ness Monster as a modern-day myth, and explains sightings as including misidentifications of more mundane objects, outright hoaxes, and wishful thinking, it remains one of the most popular icons of cryptozoology:)
On a whim I decided to take part in Inktober 2018 by making dodgy sketches of Cryptids featured on the wonderful podcast "The Cryptid Keeper". These are the results.

Window Installation at Bear and Bird Gallery -- 160 Jay Street in Schenectady, New York -- October 2022.
We asked our old artist friend Skot Olsen, who now lives in Portland, Oregon and works as a tattoo artist - to do some silhouette illustrations of the creatures he creates. He provided us with a great trove of options so we could put together this fun window installation at our Jay Street location!
All of the illustrations are by Skot, but the window itself was laid out and built by me and my family! Brenda at Truly Yours Custom Framing in Glenville, NY helped out with a couple of the cut outs too!
We hope you got to see it in person and enjoy it!
Revised. I changed the text layout & added a couple small photos taken by Anne (among other things).
Shadow baskers are fond of warm dark places and are rarely ever seen, but when they have been spotted they were basking in the shadows.
Although it hasn't been proven to be a connection, missing pets are often attributed to this legendary creature.
A good way to get rid of them is to turn the lights on.;)

It feels as though I have been trying for years to get an adequate photo of London's Goatman on Parkland Walk - almost as hard as getting a shot of the actual cryptid that inspired it. I think this was something like my fifth attempt. I was always foiled by bad weather, bad light and the fundamental problem that I was shooting up towards the sky into deep shadow. And even this shot is a combination of two images edited together to make it work.
This, of course, is the Spriggan sculpture by Marilyn Collins but the Goatman legends date back to the 70s. The story goes that way back in the day, a bunch of people set up a commune nearby - a haven of shared income and possessions and a certain amount of self-sufficiency. And among other things, they had some goats providing milk and cheese. Every so often, one of the guys named Dick Harris would load the goats into their little car (I'm not making this up!) and take them down to Parkland for some fresh food and exercise. So far, so wholesome, and it does conjure up images of better times in London when things were a little more possible and there was still some hope of living in the city rather than just surviving.
However, humans being humans, and Parkland Walk being a more than usually eerie and lonely place, the encounters with this maybe somewhat eccentric character began to take on the stuff of legend. The Goatman became a known presence and a weird encounter that you might have in the lonely places - and soon people would start to whisper "Hush kids, or the Goatman will come and get you." And thus we have a direct link from a guy who put his goats in a Morris Minor and took them out to play fifty years ago to, well, this sculpture that I memorably first encountered at about 2AM as the lights of my bike pierced the utter dark of Parkland.
Unless, of course, there really is a spriggan haunting the lonely places of London. Tales of Spring-Heel Jack and others don't seem quite so far away when you walk down the uniquely eerie Parkland, especially at night.

Live, Believe & Dream! See You There!
“Faeries are nice beings, they grant wishes. Right?” – Unknown
While some certainly do nice things and some may even grant wishes; others still play harmless pranks to fool the mortals they encounter.
To most the fae are mischievous tricksters on the surface and no true threat. However the fae hierarchy stretches and grows like the roots of the oldest trees in the forest and for every bit of light and shimmer as branches raise high in the sky; there is dark and shadow as roots dig deep into the earth.
The Duskfall Court is the seat of shadow and where pranks are rarely harmless. Those who abide by its laws find themselves watched over by the nobility of the court.
Those who tread these woods best watch out because the woods watch back and will not hesitate to ensnare the unwary.
The Duskfall Court is sponsored by Quills & Curiosities and Cryptid
The region is magically created by Dacien & Marcel Blackwood, Crow, and Lemony Nova
This build was inspired by medieval cryptids known as “wild men” or “woodwose,” which were very hairy humanoids who lived in the forest and shunned human society.
According to legend, hunters would attempt to capture these wild men by luring them with alcohol, getting them drunk, tying them up, and then trying to extract whatever secret knowledge the wild men might posses.
“It once happened in that country (and this seems indeed strange) that a living creature was caught in the forest as to which no one could say definitely whether it was a man or some other animal; for no one could get a word from it or be sure that it understood human speech. It had the human shape, however, in every detail, both as to hands and face and feet; but the entire body was covered with hair as the beasts are”
