Russian artist asks Yeti to pose for him

If Andrey Lyubchenko is to be believed, this is what the Yeti actually looks like. The Russian artist claims that he had a close encounter with an Abominable Snowman in the Siberian wilderness. What I find more intriguing is that the ape-like creature posed for him - allowing the artist to draw his picture. But why didn't he just photograph the Yeti to prove that he was telling the truth?

"I didn't have my phone with camera on me, or a camera - but I always carry a pencil and something I can draw on, this time it was a piece of birch tree bark," Lyubchenko was quoted as saying by The Siberian Times. "I made a drawing of the Yeti and showed him. The Yeti studied it really carefully for a while, and then drew a symbol next to my drawing."

When he got home, the artist sketched a more detailed image of the hairy beast, and here's the result.

"The Yeti was about two and a half metres tall, with thick dark brown hair like a bear's - but a lot softer," Lyubchenko told the newspaper. "He was holding a wooden stick, with bits of hair wrapped around it. But the main thing was his eyes, they were just like light-coloured human eyes."

The scientific community has long disputed the existence of the Abominable Snowman because of meager conclusive evidence. But several sightings of such creatures have been reported in Himalayan countries and in North America, where it is known as bigfoot.

Enigmatic Shapes and Psychedelic Patterns

To say that I love Sanagi 's work is an understatement. Looking at her art feels sort of therapeutic, and I find her drawings refreshingly intricate. They're trippy, psychedelic, and resemble something that you might see under a microscope. Not much is Googleable about Sanagi, but that's fine. There aren't many artists these days that still pull off the whole mysterious vibe, so I commend her for that. By the way... they're all hand-drawn with pen and ink.

James DeRosso's ceramic monsters

I really like these whimsical ceramic creatures by James DeRosso. Yes, they have bulging eyes and toothy grins, but they're not scary at all. The Portland-based artist started making cute monsters while he was a student to jokingly create gargoyle-like guardians for the kiln. After other students kept taking his quirky little figures, he realized there was a market for them. "I'm enjoying the whole monster making niche," James says. "It's amazingly gratifying to be doing ceramics full time and especially to be a teacher introducing kids to the joy of clay." Be sure to visit his website and like his Facebook page for the latest monster news.
