The Jersey Devil
Do you have a favorite cryptid? As a native New Jerseyan, mine is definitely the 13th child of Old Mrs. Leeds, otherwise known as the Jersey Devil. I finally got to make it into a custom, including with a map of the Garden State as a tuft of hair on its chest.
HAPPY
Summe- HALLOWEEN FROM THE PINES FAMILY!
(click to embiggen)I’d been meaning to revisit these cryptid costume designs, and thought Halloween would be a good time to do that!
Especially because, when designing, I had in mind to offer each of the Pines individually as stickers… and in some cases in groups as well.
To that end, all of the designs above (plus a couple of groupings), including the original piece from Summerween, are now up in my shop on Redbubble! They’re available as stickers (often in two sizes, small and large), and on whatever other merchandise it seemed like it might look good on.
(If you would like some other combo of the figures than what you see there, any merch you don’t see there, or a background color other than black, feel free to contact me and I can try to upload/edit what’s there.)
I would also like to take a moment to thank @coughsyrup-cosmonaut, who created a spectacular Mothman cosplay that provided some inspiration to me when I was designing Ford’s costume. They graciously gave me their okay to continue using the design it inspired in this merch.
In addition to Mothman Ford, of course, we have Jersey Devil Stan, Mabel as a Jackalope – sorry, Antelabbit! – with Waddles in a hand-knitted mer-pig tail, and Dipper as a pterosaur/thunderbird. (Being Dipper, he’s of course doing a cryptozoology Deep Cut – not just an homage to the pterosaur they encountered in Gravity Falls, but, to 19th century legends and rare photographs of people posing with what appears to be a pterosaur that was dubbed a “thunderbird” at the time. There are some fun mysteries involving these photos, and it’s been covered on various documentaries.)

Figuring out how to crop a teaser image without giving too much away was hard! So here, have a close-up of the Jersey Devil, as a teaser for my piece for the @gf10yearslaterzine!
It’s open for preorders now! Get on board for some great art, fic, and merch!
