Here's one of the enemies you'll face in Cryptid Kitchen! It's a Nachtkrapp, a giant raven from South German and Austrian folklore. Looking at certain parts of its body, such as the holes in its wings, can bring disease and death. It also steals children and carries them away!

Baba Yaga is one of my favourite characters in fairy tale and folklore. I've made several illustrations around her, but would love to work on a whole book one day. Listening to talk about her on has got me thinking of ideas all over again.
