Lisa Russell

Every design is hers.

The pet toys are probably where you stop first. Somebody had to answer the question, "What should Mothman look like after a dog has been chewing on him for twenty minutes?"

Lisa has answered it.

The Roster

The obvious names are here. Mothman. The Flatwoods Monster. The Jersey Devil. Chupacabra.

Then it gets more interesting.

There's a Loveland Frogman holding a tiny wand, a Thunderbird, Dogman, a bright pink lake monster, and a squonk doing what squonks do best: sitting in the corner crying.

Nothing on the table is pulled from a licensed character or somebody else's artwork. Lisa draws every design herself, which means even the stranger corners of cryptid lore get their own version.

She Also Runs The Festivals

Lisa does more than make the creatures.

She cohosts Squonkapalooza in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, as well as Fearsome Folklore Fest and UFO Day WV.

Squonkapalooza is already part of the OddWay event index.

There is a difference between setting up a table at a cryptid festival and helping create the festival in the first place. Lisa does both, which probably explains why Cryptid Comforts goes deeper than Mothman and Bigfoot.

She knows the whole roster.

Where To Start

Start with the shop.

From there, you can find Lisa's Instagram, Facebook, and the rest of the Cryptid Comforts links below.

Just be warned: you may leave with a Mothman for yourself and another one specifically for your dog to destroy.
