31 Monsters in 31 Days (2014 Edition): Monster 19 - Gowrow

The Gowrow . . . now this is a new one that I had never hear of before. He's some sort of lizard-like wormy creature as far as I can tell. I couldn't find much reference for him since this creature from northwest Arkansas is mostly a forgotten tale that may not have ever really been sighted by person. It is thought by some that the story was made up for the newspaper as no other reports existed on this creature. For more check out this article about the Gowrow here.

Thanks for looking,
Kevin P. Johnson

31 Monsters in 31 Days: Day 19 Loveland Frog

The Loveland Frog was sighted by three different Loveland, Ohio police officers back in 1972. Described as a 3 to 4 foot tall and 50-75 pound leathery skinned creature with a frog or lizard like-face. The first two officers claimed that the creature was in fact a frog type creature while the third has claimed that it was nothing more than someones pet lizard that was let go. You can read the whole tale on the X-Project Paranormal Magazine website.

I really liked drawing this guy the bottom drawing was actually first I was thinking that it was like it was his "mugshot" as a young frog and then I got the idea that he got old and fat and just drank beer and listened to heavy metal music (therefore the metal sign). This was silly and I like it.

Both of these drawings were done in an 5.5" x 8.5" Strathmore (400 Series) 60 lb. paper sketchbook with Sharpie Marker and Copic Markers.

Ribbit, Ribbit,

31 Monsters in 31 Days: Day 18 Lizard Man of Scape Ore Swamp


Lizard Man of Scape Ore Swamp - Copyright © 2012 Kevin P. Johnson

The Lizard Man of Scape Ore Swamp (Lee County, South Carolina) is a 7 foot tall bipedal creature of massive strength. It's been reported that it has dark hair with scaly lizard like skin on it's hands, feet and face but I chose to draw him without the hair and more of a lizard monster with big teeth. This guy has been seen several times and attacked cars near the swamp causing lots of damage. Read more about these events on wikipedia: Lizard Man of Scape Ore Swamp

This was drawn in an 5.5" x 8.5" Strathmore (400 Series) 60 lb. paper in a sketchbook with Sharpie Marker and Staedtler Pigment Liner pens and then was colored in Adobe Photoshop.

I'm so Lizard,
Kevin P. Johnson
