Bill Rebsamen’s illustration completed for me in 2001, for use on the cover of my Mothman book.

Does it matter what color the eyes of a more stylized imaging of Mothman appears in graphic art?

Two color drawings of “Coleman’s Cryptozoo” arrived overnight from Len Peralta. What version of Mothman‘s eyes do you like?

For a look at the black and white initial example of Len Peralta’ art again, go to ” Cryptozoo by Mail”.

Should illustrative, graphic, and comic art stay close to the original descriptions of cryptids, or can it be appreciated as a form and extension of the creativity of the artist? Talking about how Mothman is shown here may be a good place to start.
