About the Artwork:
“Although I have titled my independent body of work CRYPTID VISIONS, I actually paint very few traditionally known cryptids. This painting features a known cryptid, the Fresno Nightcrawler (sometimes known as the Fresno Alien), which has been sighted in Fresno, California and in Yosemite National Park, also in California.” – Allen Douglas
