Mothman & American Cryptids
Mothman is one of the most recognizable American cryptids and a central figure in modern folklore. David J. Hardie's work frequently explores Mothman and other American cryptids through illustration, narrative, and visual reinterpretation.
Rather than presenting cryptids as purely terrifying or purely comedic, these designs aim to reflect the mystery and cultural weight these creatures carry in regional storytelling. From West Virginia legends to lesser-known American cryptids, this collection celebrates the strange stories that have shaped local myth across the United States.
