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!
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.
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.

This hybrid chimera cryptid puppet maquette is fully posable and seamless...I customize each one to look like a different unique creature...

I'm hot for cryptids, so the Snallygaster boat is always one of my favorites. The Snallygaster is Frederick County's very own cryptid! She lives in the Middletown Valley.
Boat name: Snallygaster and Twins
Sponsor: Cicki & Ed Poole and Teresa & Thom Beckley
Charity benefiting: Sophie and Madigan's Playground
2019-2020: “Sailing Through the Winter Solstice”--an exhibit of lit-up boats that stay in Carroll Creek between mid-November through the first weekend in February. Each business designed, built, and named its boat and is organizing charity fundraising efforts connected to the light display.
This was the fourth year for this display and there were 16 boats: up from only one boat in 2016-2017, seven boats in 2017-2018, and 10 boats in 2018-2019.

As with my other cryptid images, I used Google's ImageFX AI text-to-image generator to create this Pale Crawler (aka Wendigo) shot. For this one, I used a self-made description from mental images I know of them after hearing so many personal accounts shared on various cryptid and unusual YouTube channels like "What Lurks Beneath", "Donovan Dread", "Donovan Dread Stories", "Lilith Dread", "Weird Encounters" and "Woodsman". This is the description I gave for the program to make this amazing photo: "In a photo-realistic Arizona desert scene at night under a star-filled sky and a full moon casting its light over the landscape, scattered rocks of various sizes, cacti here and there, stands an 8 foot tall inhuman Wendigo being with pale, slick skin is hunched over with elongated, thin and insect-like limbs that are bent in unnatural ways. The arms end in hands with long fingers and black claws, with one stacking a nearby rock on a small stack of rocks. The feet are long with toes ending in sharp, black claws. On the elongated bald head, the face is smooth and featureless with a slit for a mouth and deep, dark, sunken eye sockets with two tiny glowing pinpoints of light where the eyes should be." I'm quite impressed at how well-done this AI program does the job, though I had to go through a bunch of photos to find the good ones. Enjoy these cryptid wallpapers.

Mothmannnnnnnnn he accompanied me to work today lol (btw, the Shadow situation is insane! I'm so glad I decided to get him when I saw him in store!)
Deep in Idaho's lakes, a legend is told,
Of a creature mysterious, yet bold.
With dark scales and eyes that gleam,
The Sharlie, a cryptid of elusive esteem.
Said to lurk in the depths, hidden from sight,
Emerging rarely, in the darkness of night.
With a long neck and a sinuous form,
The Sharlie's presence, a cryptid's norm.
Some say it's a sturgeon, others not so sure,
A relic of the past, with an ancient allure.
Or perhaps a hoax, a clever ruse,
The Sharlie's mystery, one that bemuse.
But tales persist, of sightings rare,
Of a creature that's elusive, beyond compare.
The Idaho Sharlie, a legend so grand,
A mystery that captivates the land.
So keep an eye out, as you traverse the lakes,
For a glimpse of a creature, that keeps us awake.
The Sharlie's legend, a mystery profound,
A cryptid's enigma, waiting to be found.
This was a series of sketches I did for my "Creatures and Cryptids" project. The idea was to practice my distortion of typically human features, to effectively create something fantasy, or disturbing. Doing this really helped me with anatomy, especially less typical anatomy, and it gave me a lot of insight in how to twist features.
Done with just pencil, this took me maybe 2 hours.
