Happy spooky time! Here’s a couple of weird Slavic folklore creatures to give you nightmares :>
Spooky Folklore title page! A collage of two illustrations showing a deity Marzanna and a water demon Rusalka . Slavic Folklore spooks: Prowadnik. This demon will pretend to be a crying baby to make you stray from your path in the woods . The drawing shows a baby’s head floating over ground, with roots and leaves growing out of it. Slavic folklore spooks: Baba Yaga. Will she teach you ancient magic or add your skull to her collection? You never know! The illustration shows the witch Baba Yaga laughing, holding a flaming skull, standing in front of her house surrounded by mushrooms. Slavic folklore spooks: Rusalka. A water demon who will lure you in with her song and then tickle you to death. The illustration shows a man’s body floating with soul leaving his body, and a circle of Rusalka dancing around him.

As an immigrant in the UK, I felt at times that the food I grew up eating was weird or even gross, and it took me a while to shake it off.Give me all the pickles, creamy cottage cheese, herring, rye bread, beetroot, dill and marjoram, and just about all the garlic you can carry😤 #slavtober
An ink illustration with digital colouring, showing an array of Eastern European foods in a cartoon, stylised way. Text on top reads: girl dinner. In the centre there’s a pickle jar with a single eyeball floating among the pickles. Behind it there’s a slice of bread with a sardine on top. Surrounding it are: beetroot, devilled egg, forest mushrooms, a dumpling.

#Slavtober pieces celebrating different flavours of Slavic heritage!
• Folk Traditions
• Magic and Protection
• Mythical Beings
The last prompt - Slavic Foodie - coming next week!
Slavtober series illustration for the theme: Folk Traditons. This square image in colour is a mixture of ink drawing and digital colouring. Three large warped faces are floating like smoke above a bonfire. Around the image we see autumnal plants and mushrooms. The word “Dziady” refers to a Slavic celebration of autumn equinox which can be translated to Forefathers Night. Slavtober series illustration for the theme: Magic and Protection. This square image in colour is a mixture of ink drawing and digital colouring. In the centre it shows a folk doll called Motanka, with one big eye instead of a face and wearing colourful striped skirt and a collared jacket. Above her is a half moon symbol lunula. She’s surrounded by medicinal plants like garlic and poppy. The text in the image reads: “Protect yourself”. Slavtober series illustration for the theme: Mythical Beings. This square image in colour is a mixture of ink drawing and digital colouring. Inside a thin frame of symbols like mushrooms and insects is the main image showing a young woman peeking above the water surface. Her eyes are glowing red and her long orange hair floats on the water. Around her in the water we see floating lily pads. There’s also a small devil like creature lurking nearby.

This year has been so weird for my comics, I will have some serious re-thinking to do.But I can promise that even if this is not its time, I’ll bring you more awesome stories in the future.
