When it comes to artistic endeavors, I am forever jealous and proud of my wife.
She decided to learn 3D modelling last week.
Yesterday, she produced her first original injection molded toy.
Meet The Creature from Big Rock Creek.
He's inspired by Kappa, water spirits or monsters from Japanese folklore, and from the almost certainly facetious but persistently reported sightings of a creature emerging from one of the waterways near town.
He'll be available for sale for the first time this weekend at Assembly Required in Asheville, NC.

In #JapaneseFolklore tanuki are a shapeshifting #yokai with a special talent involving their magical expanding scrotums. #Ukiyoe artist Utagawa Kuniyoshi depicted them in a series of prints that are perfect for today's #WyrdWednesday. And these are just the tip of the tanuki testicle iceberg. 1/2
Good morning, good morning, good morning, my fellow weebonauts! What a lovely #JMusicFriday it is, too!
And as we continue to travel to the end of October, the #spooks have come out to play. I was considering #yokai or #mononoke specifically because--you know--but any ghost, goblin, or ghoulie will work.
And how best to start this engine rolling than a rousing bit of Babymetal?

One might interpret it as "a song about living amongst ghosts and not being afraid of them, being mischievous and stuff"
Yokai are mentioned in there SOMEwhere! 😝
My favorite #yokai is, of course, Karakasa kozō. What's spookier than one-eyed, one-legged hopping umbrellas?
But the song options are, let us say... Not voluminous.

Although tatarimokke are generally harmless (and more often than not treated with respect), depending on how the child died, the yōkai might well seek revenge or retribution🦉😨😱
I'll let the wonderful @matthewmeyerart tell you more⬇️

Not all owls are what they seem.
There is a yōkai (妖怪) in Japan known as a 'tatarimokke' (祟り蛙 lit. 'cursed infant'). These 'owls' have been possessed by the spirit of a dead baby or young child, and will stay close to the family home.
