MIDNIGHT FOLKLORE
Illustrated myths and crooked tales
This is my home for cryptid horror illustration: dark, storybook-styled monsters pulled from folklore, urban legends, and that uneasy “something’s out there” feeling. If you’re into Dogman, Bigfoot, Yowie, Bunyip, Chupacabra (and the next thing that crawls out of the treeline), you’re in the right place.

Everything here is created by me — Dave, illustrator and concept artist based in Sydney New South Wales Australia. My style leans into twisted storybook energy (the vibe people compare to Tim Burton or Dr. Seuss), but the creatures and worlds are fully original — built from my own cryptid horror universe.
