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!

Performer bio:
Linda Felcher is a multimedia and multidisciplinary drag cryptid that has been lurking in the depths of Brooklyn Nightlife scene since 2013. Working in live and digital performance, Linda is also a skilled costume designer and maker of things, fusing mediums to tell stories on stage (and screen). Linda is a shapeshifter, exploring gender and the limits of the (in)human body through their designs, distorting the human form with masks, makeup, puppetry and video. They draw inspiration from anime and science-fiction, channeling personal narratives of trauma, erasure, and dysphoria into their work.
More about these images:
This digital album contains images from my 2022-23 "Life is Drag" residency at The Cell in Chelsea, NYC. It includes video stills pulled from the 100+ video portraits created (performances documented), behind the scenes production shots taken during my 6 months at The Cell, and documentation of the two panels I produced and spoke with as a part of this residency -- at Symphony Space (in conjunction with the Municipal Art Society of New York), and at The Cell (in conjunction with Franklin Furnace and CADAF). More info below:
I create bodies of work that explore gender, artifice, and spectacle. Utilizing directorial, curatorial, and anthropological processes, I showcase exuberantly irrepressible personalities who revel in challenging clichés and taboos to rethink and reimagine the gender construct. A sampling of subjects include Girls Girls Girls - the world's first and only all-female Mötley Crüe tribute band, and Tazzie Colomb - the world's longest competing professional female bodybuilder and powerlifter. Since 2019, I have been working exclusively on "Life is Drag" - the largest living digital archive of drag in the United States.
Drag is a poetic synthesis of painting, sculpture, sound and performance. It is also an amalgam of self-discovery, transformation, permission, actualization, revolution, utopia, community, catharsis, and ultimately - radical self-expression. Drag is ART - and life IS drag. And "Life is Drag" has become my (Rachel Rampleman) life's work. I am a one-person production team - handling all research, curation, communication, lighting, shooting, editing, interviewing, archive building, residency outreach, and more. With "Life is Drag", I document the most innovative and singular performers - selected from a wide range of locations, backgrounds, cultures, and ages - who are currently exploding onto the national drag scene. This ever-evolving archive includes documentation of performances and interviews, and over the course of the last several years I have created 350+ video portraits, showcasing 200+ LGBTQIA performers - collaborating with them in my studio, as well as during residencies in New York City, Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, and New England (so far).
These documented performances and interviews are added to my online archive at lifeisdrag.com, as well as projected or featured as site-specific multi-channel installations at “brick and mortar” venues ranging from spaces like Wave Pool, a non-profit gallery in my hometown of Cincinnati, to the Carnegie Museum of Art in Pittsburgh. I have also produced live events and hosted panel discussions in partnership with organizations such as Symphony Space, Franklin Furnace, and The Municipal Art Society of New York -- about the importance of documenting this important but ephemeral art form, as well as about the current drag bans in the United States and New York’s radical resistance to these worsening restrictions.

“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 prompt for a series remained the same (part of it):
perfect closeup ultra detailed smiling Baroque compound vampire ghost slaanesh made out of luminous dust at foggy night, cryptid taxidermy, Bogomil's Universe, made of liquid dust,sparkling reflections,by Susan Seddon Boulet, h.r. giger vlaho bukovac, leonardo da vinci, Donald Southam Lawrence, Rolf Armstrong, Simon Bisley
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”

Live, Believe & Dream! See You There!
This is the supply closet of the renowned cryptid hunter, Loren Coleman. Spending years and years tracking the elusive creatures of the unknown world of cryptozoology, Dr. Coleman has become obsessed with tracking some of the most famous cryptid creatures. Unfortunately, Dr. Coleman has become so fixated on finding these critters, he has neglected his office and supply closet leaving behind him a mess of newspaper clippings, evidential findings, and forgotten equipment. But most notable of all in this disorder and chaos is a certain trickster cryptid crouched down in the corner, hiding from the world. Oh Dr. Coleman...if only you realized Bigfoot is not elusive...he is just a shy prankster.

The Pope Lick Monster is a legendary half-man, half-goat creature reported to live beneath a railroad trestle bridge over Pope Lick Creek in Louisville, KY. Is he an escaped circus freak or the product of an ill fated union between a local farmer and his goats? No one can be sure. Some rumors blame him for a train derailment. Some claim he frightens travelers into leaping from the trestle to their deaths, while others say he holds them down on the tracks himself ala’ Snidely Whiplash. Travelers beware! He lurks in wait……
I created this Pope Lick Monster for the “cryptid” prompt for Mab’s Drawloween Club 2018.
