Levings Yeti

The Drawn! blog introduced me to artist Leslie Levings and her Sculpted Beastlies, which are lovely and well worth checking out.

She hasn't made any specifically yeti beastlies yet, but is considering doing so! Stay tuned to this blog for any Levings Yeti updates.

She and a couple of friends make a webcomic about a reformed monster named Atrox. And in a recent strip, the character of Dr. Bill Yetison, a monster psychiatrist to Atrox, was introduced:

I for one would love to see Levings take a yeti into the Third Dimension.

Liam's Yeti

Glazed Expectations, a ceramic studio in Chapel Hill, NC, has after-school classes for kids.

A boy named Liam made this awesome yeti.

See the gallery for more ceramic art works.

Not Yeti Friday - Littlefoot

Oh sure, it looks like yeti.

But as Professor Ichbonnsen explains, it isn't.

This is Littlefoot.

"Yeti is a catch-all moniker for several supposed animals, which include the Meh-Teh (the "classic" Yeti), the Teh-Lma (a three-foot-tall frog-eating Yeti), and the Dzu-Teh (a giant half-bear, half-ape creature, which walks on all fours). When people discuss the Yeti, it is almost exclusively the Meh-Teh that receives their attention. My own research confirms that the Meh-Teh is most likely a product of the imagination... But the Dzu-Teh is quite real. It is what the Littlefoot eats."

I urge you to read more about this amazing animal that is COMPLETELY DISTINCT from yeti in so many ways that I will have to leave it to the professor to count them all.
